THE ROLE The Senior Accountant is responsible for executing critical general ledger and financial close activities while serving as the accounting team’s functional expert for NetSuite and related financial systems. This role combines strong accounting fundamentals with the technical ability to improve system configuration, reporting, data integrity, controls, and workflows. Reporting to the Controller, the Senior Accountant performs detailed accounting work directly, owns assigned close and reconciliation areas, and partners with Technology/Systems and business teams to resolve issues at their source rather than relying on recurring manual workarounds. The right person for this role is both a hands-on accountant and a systems thinker who can move comfortably between journal entries and reconciliations, NetSuite configuration and troubleshooting, and cross-functional process improvement. WHAT YOU WILL OWN ● Financial reporting and the close — the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of assigned general ledger areas, journal entries, reconciliations, and close deliverables. ● NetSuite and accounting systems — serving as the finance-side NetSuite subject matter expert and improving the configuration, reporting, workflows, integrations, and controls that support accounting. ● Accounting data integrity — ensuring that subledgers, operational systems, imports, and transaction flows reconcile to the general ledger and produce reliable financial information. ● Internal controls, documentation, and audit support — maintaining well-documented processes and controls and producing accurate, timely support for audits, tax work, and financial reporting. ● Process improvement and automation — using NetSuite, Excel, AI, and other tools to reduce manual work, eliminate recurring errors, and improve accounting productivity and scalability. WHAT YOU WILL DO Financial Reporting & Close ● Execute assigned components of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes within the company’s close calendar ● Prepare and post accurate journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, inventory and cost-of-goods-sold entries, and other assigned areas ● Complete and review balance sheet reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and resolve reconciling items promptly ● Analyze account activity and period-over-period variances and prepare clear support for financial reporting and management review NetSuite & Accounting Systems ● Serve as the primary finance-side NetSuite subject matter expert for accounting processes and day-to-day system issue resolution ● Build and maintain saved searches, reports, dashboards, workflows, accounting preferences, master data, and role or permission requirements in coordination with Technology/Systems ● Troubleshoot posting, mapping, subledger, integration, import, and period-close issues; identify root causes and coordinate durable fixes with internal teams and outside partners ● Support NetSuite enhancements, configuration changes, user acceptance testing, data imports or conversions, release testing, and system documentation Accounting Operations, Controls & Audit ● Maintain assigned general ledger areas and reconcile accounting subledgers and operational systems to the general ledger, with particular attention to inventory and transaction data ● Ensure proper revenue recognition, expense classification, account mapping, and period cut-off in accordance with GAAP and company policies ● Perform and document internal controls, maintain accounting procedures, and identify control or data-quality gaps that require remediation ● Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for external audits, tax filings, and other accounting or compliance requirements Process Improvement & Cross-Functional Support ● Map, standardize, and improve accounting workflows across Finance, Operations, Technology/Systems, Payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable ● Partner with business and technical teams to improve upstream data capture and ensure that operational changes are reflected correctly in NetSuite and the financial statements ● Use NetSuite functionality, advanced Excel, AI, and other automation tools to reduce manual effort, accelerate the close, and improve accuracy ● Create clear documentation, train users on accounting-related system processes, and support the Controller on special projects and systems initiatives Team Contribution ● Operate as a highly accountable senior individual contributor who owns work from initial analysis through final resolution ● Provide accounting and NetSuite guidance to other team members and help strengthen the team’s systems capabilities ● Communicate issues, risks, dependencies, and proposed solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders ● Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, strong controls, documentation, and measurable productivity WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Required ● Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field ● 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful responsibility for general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and the financial close ● 3+ years of hands-on NetSuite experience in an accounting environment, including close activities, saved searches or reports, data imports, troubleshooting, and process configuration ● Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, and core accounting processes, together with advanced Excel skills ● Strong technical and systems aptitude, including the ability to understand accounting data flows and integrations, identify root causes, and translate business needs into durable system and process solutions Preferred ● CPA, CPA candidate, or public accounting experience ● Experience in retail, e-commerce, re-commerce, or another inventory-intensive business ● Experience with NetSuite implementations or major enhancements and tools such as SuiteAnalytics, SuiteFlow, Fixed Assets Management, SQL, SuiteScript, or API-based integrations ● Experience scaling accounting processes and controls in a growing company and using AI or automation to improve accounting productivity WHO YOU ARE You are an ambitious and hard-working accounting professional with strong judgment, technical curiosity, problem-solving skills, and exceptional attention to detail. You do not accept recurring manual workarounds when the underlying accounting or systems issue can be fixed. You meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment, document your work clearly, and communicate effectively with both accounting and technical teams. You are comfortable doing detailed work directly and take ownership until issues are fully resolved. You bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills and high attention to detail and accuracy. You meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment, communicate clearly, and lead effectively. You have meaningful experience utilizing AI to improve effectiveness and productivity, and you pair a strategic mindset with hands-on execution. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS ● Assigned monthly close activities completed within the company’s five-to-seven-business-day close, with accurate entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules ● Balance sheet accounts and subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliations maintained accurately, with aged or unexplained differences resolved promptly ● NetSuite accounting issues and enhancement requests root-caused, documented, tested, and resolved with fewer repeat errors and manual workarounds ● Audit and tax support for owned areas delivered on time, with no material adjustments or significant control deficiencies attributable to those areas ● Measurable improvements in close speed, data integrity, reporting quality, and accounting productivity through NetSuite, automation, and standardized processes COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS KEH offers a competitive compensation package commensurate with the scope and seniority of this role. The total compensation framework includes base salary and a performance-based annual incentive. Benefits include a 401(k) plan, comprehensive health and dental coverage, short-term disability, paid time off, paid holidays, and flexible spending accounts. WHY KEH KEH is a consistently profitable and high-growth company, driving its scale, processes, systems, and overall sophistication at once, and doing so in a prudent, financially disciplined way — focused on building a long-term great company rather than growing for growth’s sake. It is majority-held by an investment firm whose core orientation is building companies into those which are long-term great and investing into a company rather than pulling funds from it. For a hard-working, technically capable Senior Accountant, this is a rare opportunity to play a meaningful role in improving the accounting and systems backbone — including NetSuite, controls, data quality, and reporting — that will support the company’s continued growth and provide significant opportunities for learning and advancement. LOCATION AND TRAVEL This role is based in Atlanta, Georgia (Smyrna) and is an on-site position. Travel requirements are minimal. KEH is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.

OVERVIEW: Our founding team is comprised of ex-big tech engineers, product managers, and startup operators currently working to develop a secure, specialized automation tool designed to eliminate the manual data entry headache of parsing client bank statements into court-ready Texas Inventory & Appraisal (I&A) forms and Financial Information Statements (FIS). We are specifically targeting our solution to solo/small family law firms and independent paralegals. We are seeking an experienced Texas family law paralegal or attorney—specifically someone with deep familiarity with the Local Rules, court preferences, and filing layouts in Texas counties — for a highly structured, paid strategy consultation video call. CRITICAL NOTE ON SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY: We are NOT looking for assistance with active cases, nor do I want to see or touch ANY live client PII. We will strictly discuss abstract operational workflows, standard court requirements, and completely anonymous, blank, or fictionalized template layouts. We will gladly execute a professional NDA prior to our call for your total peace of mind. WHAT WE WILL COVER ON THE CALL: - The Manual Processing Workflow: Walk me through the step-by-step reality of what happens when a client dumps 6–12 months of messy bank statement PDFs on your desk. How do you sort, map, and process them? - Local Nuances & Local Rules: How do requirements or spreadsheet expectations deviate between counties and surrounding areas? What layout mistakes cause a judge to reject a financial filing? - Logic & Edge Cases: How do you manually handle and categorize ambiguous line items (e.g., untagged Zelle transfers, ATM cash withdrawals, mixed personal/business expenses)? - UX/UI Validation: Review a high-level conceptual outline of our automated mapping tool and tell us exactly where the friction points are for a paralegal power-user. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: - Minimum 3+ years of direct experience working as a family law paralegal in the state of Texas, ideally with solo attorneys or small firm environments. - Deep tactical experience preparing and filing Texas I&A and FIS forms - A strong understanding of how law firms manage the administrative review process before an attorney signs off on financial disclosures. WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY: - Immediate Strategic Payoff: Share your operational expertise and directly help shape a tool built to eliminate the single most tedious part of your daily workload. - Long-Term Advisory Potential: While this starts as an initial strategy consultation, we are actively looking to extend this into an ongoing advisory contract for the right fit. As development progresses, our preferred consultant will be retained for paid, ongoing milestones to act as our primary Subject Matter Expert—conducting UX reviews, running quality-assurance checks on our automated categorization engine using dummy data, and ensuring our technical outputs perfectly align with Texas court expectations. Please include a brief note detailing which counties you have the most experience filing in when applying.

We are a small non profit with big plans and a great story. We rely on a tech/data driven approach to fight food insecurity and hunger. You can learn more about us at www.SimpleGesture.org. We need a grant writer that can find the grants, apply for them, and get us the funding we need to continue growth. At first glance, it’s very simple. That’s why we call it “A Simple Gesture”. We register donors to leave a bag of food on their doorstep, and volunteer drivers take that food to an area food bank or pantry. Simple. But what’s behind it is hardly simple. We’ve written a Web App that automates everything. These programs have been around since 2010, and between ‘A Simple Gesture’, ‘Porch Communities’ and “Neighborhood Food Project’ they have brought in over 4.5 million pounds. There are about 115 of them. The problem is they take 40+ hours to organize a single months event. We call this a ‘barrier of entry’. It stops new chapters from giving it a try. Our App reduces the time to about an hour. By removing the barrier we hope to start 950 chapters and raise over 400 million pounds of food per year. We’ve already started 18 chapters, and 2 existing chapters are using our app. Since just last October we have brought in over 120,000 lbs. of food. Here is the core to our grant ask; We now know it costs us about $16 to on-board and support a donor for 5 years (5 years is the average time a donor stays in the program). And that average donor will provide $1100 of food. That’s a 1:68 ratio of $1 to $68 in real food value. The way we describe it to donors is; if you give a pantry $10, they can probably buy $25 of food at wholesale. If you give us that same $10 we build a food machine that keeps on giving. We can turn your $10 into $680. We need funding to expand. For now, we need funding to grow the program in Northern California, but by mid ‘27 we want to be expanding throughout the entire country.

Full-Stack Developer Needed — Agricultural SaaS / Grain Management Web App MVP Project Overview I am looking for an experienced full-stack developer to build the first working browser-based MVP of GrainTrack, a grain inventory, contract, and delivery management application for farmers. The long-term goal is to give farmers one place to track: Grain inventory Grain contracts across multiple elevators/buyers Bushels sold Bushels delivered Remaining contract obligations Bushels still available to sell Weighted average selling price Physical grain by storage location Contract documents Scale tickets Future phases will include AI-powered contract and scale-ticket scanning. For this project, I am ONLY looking to build Phase 1. A starter project package and detailed product specifications are already available. Phase 1 Goal Build a secure, responsive web application that allows a farmer to: Create an account Create a farm Select a crop year Select commodities Enter estimated production Create buyers/elevators Create delivery/storage locations Enter grain contracts manually View contract details Automatically calculate the farm's grain position View that information on a professional dashboard The application should work well on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. Core Dashboard The dashboard should display grain information by commodity. Example: 2026 Corn Expected Production: 180,000 bu Physical Inventory: 127,750 bu Contracted: 110,000 bu Delivered: 32,500 bu Remaining on Contracts: 77,500 bu Estimated Available to Sell: 70,000 bu Physical Grain Not Committed: 50,250 bu Percent Sold: 61.1% Weighted Average Final Price: $4.82/bu The dashboard should use clean cards, tables, progress indicators, and alerts similar to a modern SaaS dashboard. UI mockups will be provided. Important Grain Calculations Critical calculations must be performed on the backend rather than independently in the browser. Estimated Available to Sell Expected Production - Total Active Contracted Bushels Example: 180,000 - 110,000 = 70,000 bu Percent Sold Total Contracted ÷ Expected Production × 100 Example: 110,000 ÷ 180,000 = 61.1% Remaining Contract Quantity Adjusted Contract Quantity - Confirmed Delivered Quantity Physical Grain Not Committed Current Physical Inventory - Remaining Contract Obligations Weighted Average Contract Price Sum of: Contract Quantity × Final Cash Price divided by: Total Final-Priced Bushels A simple average of contract prices must NOT be used. Detailed calculation specifications will be provided. Commodities The application must NOT be hard-coded only for corn, soybeans, and wheat. Default commodities should include: Corn Soybeans Wheat Barley Oats Grain Sorghum / Milo Canola Sunflowers Rice The system must also support: + Add Another Commodity Custom commodities should support: Commodity name Default unit Optional standard pounds per bushel Notes All contracts, inventory, deliveries, reports, and calculations should reference a commodity ID. Crop Years Records must be separated by crop year. Examples: 2025 Corn 2026 Corn 2027 Corn The system must NOT assume crop year based on delivery date. This is important because farmers may carry older grain into a new calendar year. Buyers / Elevators Farmers need to create and manage multiple grain buyers. Examples: ABC Elevator XYZ Grain Local Co-Op A buyer may have multiple delivery locations. Locations Locations may include: Farm Bin Grain Bag Flat Storage Elevator Processor Terminal Other Example: ABC Elevator could have: Newark Utica Johnstown as separate delivery locations. Contracts Farmers must be able to manually create grain contracts. Required fields should include: Farm Crop year Commodity Buyer Delivery location Contract number Contract date Contract quantity Contract type Cash price Futures price Basis Futures month Delivery start date Delivery end date Notes Status Contract types should include: Fixed Price Basis HTA Average Price Minimum Price Other Contract Detail Screen Each contract should display: Buyer Location Commodity Crop year Contract number Contract quantity Pricing information Delivery period Delivered bushels Remaining bushels Percent delivered Estimated contract value Status Notes Later phases will attach scanned documents and scale tickets. Pricing Rules Contracts without a finalized cash price must NOT incorrectly affect the final weighted average cash price. Example: 20,000 bu basis contract Basis = +$0.10 Futures = Open This contract counts toward: Total Contracted Bushels but does NOT count toward: Weighted Average Final Cash Price until the cash price is finalized. The architecture should allow pricing components to be expanded later. Database Preferred database: PostgreSQL The database should be relational and designed to support future expansion. Core entities include: Users Farms Farm Users Crop Years Commodities Farm Crops Buyers Locations Contracts Contract Pricing Inventory Transactions Deliveries Delivery Allocations Documents Alerts Audit Records A database architecture specification will be provided. Preferred Technology Preferred stack: Frontend React / Next.js Backend Next.js API or Node.js Database PostgreSQL Authentication A secure managed authentication solution is acceptable. Hosting Modern managed cloud hosting. I am open to recommendations if you believe another stack would be materially better, but please explain why. Architecture Requirements The application should maintain clear separation between: Frontend UI and user interaction Backend/API Business logic and permissions Database Source records Calculation Engine Derived grain-position calculations Critical financial/inventory calculations should NOT be scattered throughout frontend components. Phase 1 Deliverables The developer should deliver: Working browser-based GrainTrack application Responsive desktop/tablet/mobile interface Authentication Farm setup Crop-year management Standard and custom commodities Buyer management Location management Estimated production entry Manual contract entry Contract list Contract detail screen Working calculation engine Grain-position dashboard PostgreSQL database Database migrations Sample/demo farm data Automated tests for important calculations Deployment to a private test environment Source code in my GitHub repository Setup/deployment documentation Demo Data The application should include a demo farm so functionality can be tested immediately. Example: Farm: Greenfield Farms Crop Year: 2026 Corn Expected Production: 180,000 bu Contracts: Multiple contracts totaling 110,000 bu Expected dashboard result: Contracted: 110,000 bu Percent Sold: 61.1% Estimated Available to Sell: 70,000 bu The developer should create automated tests verifying these calculations. Acceptance Tests The project will be considered successful when the following scenarios work correctly. Test 1 — Production Farmer enters: 180,000 bu expected 2026 corn production. Dashboard displays: 180,000 bu expected production. Test 2 — Contracts Farmer enters contracts totaling: 110,000 bu. Dashboard displays: 110,000 bu contracted. Test 3 — Available to Sell System calculates: 180,000 - 110,000 = 70,000 bu Estimated Available to Sell. Test 4 — Percent Sold System calculates: 110,000 ÷ 180,000 = 61.1% Sold. Test 5 — Weighted Average Price Multiple contracts with different quantities and prices produce the correct bushel-weighted average. Test 6 — Basis Contract A basis contract with open futures: counts toward contracted bushels does NOT count toward final cash-price average Test 7 — Cancelled Contract A cancelled contract does not count toward active contracted bushels. Test 8 — Custom Commodity Farmer can select: + Add Another Commodity create a custom commodity, and use it throughout the application. NOT Included in Phase 1 Please do NOT include the following in your Phase 1 quote unless clearly identified as an optional add-on: AI contract scanning AI scale-ticket scanning Native iPhone app Native Android app Live futures prices Grain marketing recommendations Crop insurance Farm accounting Field management Equipment management Weather Settlement processing Payment processing These are potential future phases. Future Phase 2 Phase 2 is expected to add: Physical inventory Farm bins/storage locations Deliveries Scale tickets Contract allocations Remaining contract balances Physical Grain Not Committed calculation Inventory coverage Alerts Strong performance on Phase 1 could lead directly to Phase 2. Future Phase 3 — AI Document Scanning A major future feature will allow farmers to photograph grain contracts and scale tickets. Contract Scan Farmer takes photo. AI extracts: Buyer Location Contract number Commodity Crop year Quantity Price Basis Futures Delivery period Farmer reviews and confirms before a contract is created. Scale Ticket Scan Farmer photographs scale ticket. AI extracts: Buyer Location Ticket number Date Commodity Weights Bushels Contract number The system suggests the appropriate contract. Farmer confirms before inventory or contract balances change. Experience with OCR, document AI, computer vision, or LLM/vision APIs is therefore a significant plus. Security The application will eventually contain important farm business information. Required practices include: HTTPS Secure password/authentication handling Farm-level authorization Secure environment variables Database backups Secure document architecture No cross-farm data exposure Auditability for important changes Source Code & Ownership This is important. All source code produced for this project will be owned by me upon payment. The developer must work in a GitHub repository controlled by me. I must have administrative access to: GitHub Hosting Database Authentication service Storage Domain/DNS when applicable Any third-party services created specifically for GrainTrack The project must not depend on developer-owned accounts that I cannot access. Any third-party/open-source libraries must be properly licensed for commercial use. Documentation At completion, provide documentation covering: Local development setup Environment variables Database setup Database migrations Deployment Authentication configuration How to add commodities How calculations work How to run automated tests Another competent developer should be able to take over the project using this documentation. Developer Qualifications Please apply if you have strong experience with: React Next.js TypeScript PostgreSQL Relational database design SaaS applications Authentication Responsive web applications API development Automated testing Cloud deployment Strong bonus experience: Agricultural software Inventory systems Commodity/grain systems Financial applications OCR Document processing AI/vision APIs Agricultural experience is helpful but NOT required. I can provide the grain-industry/business logic. Budget & Contract Structure I prefer a: Fixed-price Phase 1 project with milestone payments. Target budget: $3,000–$8,000 Please do not simply bid the maximum budget. Provide your proposed fixed price based on the specifications above. If you believe the scope requires more or less, explain why. Suggested Milestones Milestone 1 — Foundation Project setup Authentication PostgreSQL Farm setup Crop years Commodities Milestone 2 — Grain Data Buyers Locations Production estimates Contract entry Contract management Milestone 3 — Calculation Engine Contract totals Available to sell Percent sold Weighted average price Pricing-status rules Automated tests Milestone 4 — Dashboard Dashboard UI Responsive layout Contract detail Filters Demo farm Milestone 5 — Deployment & Handoff Private production-like deployment Testing Bug fixes Documentation Full repository/account handoff Payments should correspond to accepted working milestones rather than elapsed time. What I Will Provide I will provide: Product vision Dashboard mockups Contract screen mockups Inventory mockups Reports mockups Database architecture Business rules Calculation-engine specification API/backend specification Starter project package Example grain contracts/data Grain-industry guidance The developer is not starting from only an idea. Much of the product and business logic has already been defined. Application Instructions Please begin your proposal with: GRAINTRACK This confirms you read the complete posting. Then answer these questions: 1. Show me 2–3 SaaS applications you have personally built or substantially contributed to. Explain exactly what you built on each project. 2. Describe your experience with: Next.js + TypeScript + PostgreSQL 3. How would you structure the calculation engine so critical grain calculations are not duplicated throughout the frontend? 4. How would you handle a basis contract where the basis is established but the futures price is still open? I am not necessarily looking for grain-industry terminology. I want to see how you think about partially complete pricing data. 5. How would you design the database so one farmer can have: Multiple farms Multiple crop years Multiple commodities Multiple buyers Multiple delivery locations without mixing data between farms? 6. How would you prevent one customer's farm data from ever being visible to another customer? 7. What automated tests would you write for the calculation engine? 8. What would your proposed technology stack be? If different from the preferred stack, explain why. 9. What is your fixed-price quote for Phase 1? 10. What timeline would you propose? 11. Are you personally doing the work, or will any portion be subcontracted? If subcontracted, explain which parts. 12. Have you worked with OCR, document AI, or vision/LLM APIs? This is not required for Phase 1 but will matter for future phases. Important I am looking for someone who could potentially continue through Phases 2 and 3 if Phase 1 goes well. I value: Clean architecture Accurate calculations Communication Documentation Maintainable code more than adding unnecessary features quickly. The goal of Phase 1 is to create a solid foundation for a commercial agricultural SaaS product—not to build every possible GrainTrack feature at once.

I am an Owner’s Representative managing a large, active commercial renovation project and am looking for an experienced construction project documentation specialist to help me develop a comprehensive, chronological project tracker documenting issues that have occurred throughout the project. This is not simply a data-entry assignment. I need someone who understands construction administration, project controls, general contractor responsibilities, sequencing, schedule impacts, RFIs, change management, punch lists, and contemporaneous project documentation. Scope of Work I have extensive supporting documentation that I can provide, including emails, meeting minutes, notices, field reports, photographs, schedules, pay applications/change orders, correspondence, and other project records. The selected freelancer will review this information and help build a detailed, organized tracker capturing items such as: Construction issues and deficiencies Owner and Owner’s Representative notices to the GC Project phasing and changes to phasing Punch-list items and repeated/incomplete corrective work Schedule delays and potential causes Work that has remained incomplete beyond anticipated dates Owner accommodations and workarounds required to keep the occupied building operational Tenant impacts and disruptions GC project management and superintendent/personnel turnover Instances where the project/site was left unsecured Repeated notices regarding site security or safety concerns Coordination and communication issues Failure to timely request information or clarification when field conditions/questions arose Improper construction sequencing Additional damage or rework potentially resulting from sequencing or coordination issues Delayed decisions, procurement, or subcontractor coordination RFIs and unresolved design/field questions Change orders/PCOs and associated circumstances Subcontractor coordination issues Commitments made during meetings and subsequent status Owner-directed corrective actions or interventions Other significant events affecting cost, schedule, quality, building operations, or project completion Tracker Requirements I envision a detailed Excel-based tracker that can ultimately be sorted and filtered by items such as: Date | Issue/Event | Category | Floor/Location | Description | GC Notified | GC Response | Responsible Party | Required Action | Status | Schedule Impact | Cost Impact | Tenant/Owner Impact | Related RFI/PCO/CO | Supporting Documentation | Follow-Up/Resolution I am open to recommendations for improving the structure once the freelancer has reviewed the available documentation. Accuracy and objectivity are extremely important. The tracker should distinguish documented facts from observations, conclusions, or items requiring further verification. Every significant entry should be traceable back to supporting documentation whenever possible. Ideal Candidate I am looking for someone with experience in one or more of the following: Construction project management Owner’s Representative / construction administration Project controls Construction claims or delay documentation General contracting Construction scheduling Change order/RFI management Document control Forensic project documentation Commercial renovation projects Experience reviewing large volumes of construction correspondence and turning that information into a clear chronology is highly preferred. What I Will Provide I have substantial documentation already organized and can provide the selected freelancer with the source material necessary to develop the tracker. I can also provide context regarding the project, parties involved, phasing, major events, and known areas that need particular attention. I am actively managing the project while also handling the Owner’s Representative responsibilities, so I need someone who can take ownership of the documentation process, identify patterns and missing information, and come back to me with targeted questions rather than requiring extensive day-to-day direction. Potential Additional Work This initial assignment is to create the comprehensive project tracker. However, for the right person, there may be additional work involving: Developing a master project chronology Organizing supporting exhibits/documentation Schedule and delay tracking Change order tracking Punch-list tracking Reviewing meeting minutes against outstanding commitments Creating executive summaries for ownership/Board review Identifying documentation gaps Maintaining the tracker as the project continues When Applying Please briefly describe your experience with construction project controls, claims documentation, Owner’s Rep work, or construction administration. If you have previously created a construction issue log, claims chronology, delay tracker, or similar project record, please describe the type of project and your role. Please also include: Your experience reviewing and organizing large volumes of project documentation. Your proficiency with Excel. Whether you have experience identifying schedule, sequencing, coordination, or change-management issues from project records. Your hourly rate and general availability. Any construction/project management software you are familiar with. I am looking for someone who is detail-oriented, analytical, construction-knowledgeable, and comfortable digging into a complicated project history to help me turn a large amount of documentation into a clear, defensible, and useful project record.
