Working as a Remote Project Accountant
Remote project accounting jobs track the financial side of projects — job costing, work-in-progress (WIP), revenue recognition by milestone, project budgets, and billing for client or capital projects. Common in construction, engineering, professional services, and government contracting, a growing share of these roles are now offered remotely.
Remote project accounting roles sit in project-driven businesses and their finance teams, from project accountant to senior project accountant and project-accounting manager. Strong candidates pair job-cost and WIP experience with familiarity with ERP systems and percentage-of-completion accounting. The project accounting roles on this site are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.
Frequently asked questions
Are these project accountant jobs remote? +
Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every project accounting role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.
What does a remote project accountant do? +
Project accountants handle job costing, work-in-progress tracking, milestone or percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, project budgets and forecasts, and project billing. The exact mix depends on the industry and is described in each posting.
Which industries hire remote project accountants? +
Project-driven sectors — construction, engineering, architecture, professional services, government contracting, and software implementation — most commonly hire project accountants, since their work is organised around discrete projects.
What is the typical salary for a remote project accountant? +
It varies by experience — roughly $60,000 to $95,000 for many roles, with senior project accountants and managers earning more. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
What systems are commonly used? +
Employers frequently use ERP and project-accounting systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Deltek, and Procore. Specific tool requirements are listed in each posting.
