What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in development accountant jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field
- Experience with job cost accounting and construction loan draw processes
- Proficiency in real estate accounting software such as Yardi or MRI
- Understanding of capitalization policies and GAAP for real estate assets
- CPA license or active progress toward CPA certification
- Ability to reconcile project budgets and prepare variance reports for lenders
Tips for Your Development Accountant Job Search
Tailor your resume for development accounting
Highlight project-level cost tracking, draw schedule management, and loan-in-balance reporting. Generic accounting resumes lose out to candidates who show they understand construction loan disbursements and developer pro formas from day one.
Target firms by development pipeline size
Development accountants are busiest at firms with active pipelines of multiple projects. Search for companies currently pulling permits or announcing new projects, since those employers need accounting support before construction wraps, not after.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists development accountant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Get your software proficiencies current
Yardi, MRI Software, and JD Edwards appear repeatedly in development accounting job listings. If you've used any of these in a project context, name the modules explicitly on your resume rather than listing the platform alone.
Prepare for cost-to-complete scenario questions
Interviewers at development firms frequently ask how you'd handle a budget overrun mid-project or reconcile a contractor's draw request against the budget. Walk through your actual process, including who you involve and what documentation you produce.
Negotiate around project cycle, not just base pay
Development accountants often absorb heavy workloads during active construction phases. When evaluating an offer, ask about the current project count, expected close-out timelines, and whether overtime is compensated or expected as part of the role.
Development Accountant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most development accountants?
The companies hiring the most development accountants right now include Hines, Amazon, and State Street, with the largest share of openings in Florida, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to track active construction pipelines, so hiring volume shifts as new projects break ground.
How many development accountant jobs are remote?
About 50% of development accountant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies by firm size and project phase. Financial reporting, reconciliation, and budget analysis work is more commonly done remotely than roles requiring on-site coordination with project managers or lenders during active construction.
How do you become a development accountant?
Start with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, then gain foundational experience in general accounting or audit to build your understanding of GAAP. Move into real estate or construction accounting as early as possible, learning job cost tracking, draw management, and capitalization rules. Earning a CPA strengthens your candidacy significantly, and hands-on experience with property accounting software makes you competitive for development-specific roles.
Can I get hired as a development accountant with little experience?
Yes, entry-level development accountant roles exist, particularly at larger development firms or publicly traded real estate investment trusts that hire staff accountants to support senior team members. Demonstrating familiarity with construction loan mechanics, even through coursework or internships, sets you apart. Roles titled staff accountant or project accountant at development companies are a practical entry point before moving into a dedicated development accounting title.
What does the development accountant interview process look like?
Most interviews include an initial screening call focused on your accounting background and software experience, followed by a technical round where you walk through how you handle draw requests, budget variances, or month-end close for a project. Some firms include a written exercise involving a simplified project budget or loan reconciliation. Final rounds typically involve meeting the CFO or development directors who assess your ability to communicate financial data to non-accounting stakeholders.
Where can I find and apply to development accountant jobs?
You can find and apply to development accountant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and location preferences, then apply directly to each one that fits.
