Development Portfolio Controller (Senior Construction Accounting Focus)

Location : Columbia, MD

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a publicly traded, highly respected real estate development and investment firm with a strong national footprint and a reputation for delivering complex, mission-critical projects.

This role sits at the corporate headquarters and supports a portfolio of active development projects —making it ideal for someone with a construction accounting background who wants exposure to high-impact, large-scale developments.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage cost accounting and financial reporting across multiple development projects
• Maintain complete job cost ledgers and historical project records
• Perform percentage-of-completion (POC) revenue accounting and reporting
• Prepare and review labor allocations, journal entries, and monthly close activities
• Ensure accuracy and compliance with GAAP and internal controls
• Support depreciation reviews and other month-end processes
• Partner cross-functionally with development, project management, and finance teams

What We’re Looking For

• Background in construction accounting or development accounting (highly preferred)
• Experience with job cost accounting, WIP/POC revenue recognition
• Strong understanding of GAAP
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience working with real estate development or large-scale construction projects

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work for a stable, growth-oriented public company with a strong project pipeline
• Exposure to large, complex development projects
• Competitive compensation + bonus + equity (stock grant)
• Award-winning benefits + generous PTO
• Clear visibility and career growth within a high-performing corporate finance team
• Competitive compensation: $100K–$105K Base + 12.5% Bonus + Equity, plus stellar benefits package

If you come from a construction accounting background and want to step into a high-impact portfolio role, this is a fantastic opportunity.
