  • and moving jobs from open to closed.
  • Ensure WIP accuracy that ownership, the bank, and the surety rely on for revenue recognition and
  • bonding capacity.
  • Participate in monthly cost projection meetings with project management; identify mis-cost-coded
  • items and process the reclassifying journal entries.
  • Partner with project managers and the project accountant on billings, retainage, and
