Project Accountant at Adi Developments – Burlington, Illinois

Imagine seeing a skyline and knowing you helped build it. At Adi Development Group, that’s not a metaphor — it’s your Monday morning. We’re one of Canada’s most innovative real estate developers with over $3 Billion in built value under development across the GTHA, and we’re looking for people who want their work to literally reshape communities. We move fast, we think like owners, and we don’t settle for “the way it’s always been done.”

Our culture is built on candour, curiosity and teamwork. Adians challenge each other’s thinking, experiment fearlessly, and show up for one another — whether you’re in your first week or your fifth year. When we make a decision, we commit and move forward together. One team, one mission: build better, for everyone.

This isn’t a back-office number-crunching role. As a Project Accountant at Adi, you’ll sit at the financial nerve centre of multi-million dollar development projects — partnering directly with Construction PMs, Sales & Marketing, and senior leadership to keep every dollar on track from groundbreaking to closing day.
