We are supporting a confidential, high-growth organisation with the appointment of a Project Accounting Manager. This is a hands-on role focused on understanding current processes, improving data quality, strengthening controls and developing more reliable reporting within a complex project-led environment.The successful candidate will be joining an area where processes are less established, so this role will initially require investigation, analysis and problem-solving before moving into process improvement and implementation.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Investigating existing project finance processes to understand how work is captured, costed, transferred and reported.
- Reviewing data quality, manual processes and system-related issues that affect reporting accuracy.
- Improving job costing, completeness, cut-off and revenue recognition processes.
- Identifying gaps in controls, reporting and reconciliations.
- Working with information from multiple systems and manual sources to create clearer, more reliable reporting.
- Supporting the development of practical processes and controls where current arrangements are limited or inconsistent.
- Reviewing intercompany issues across project-led activities and supporting more accurate reporting.
- Partnering with Finance, Commercial and operational stakeholders to implement sustainable improvements.
The successful candidate will bring:
- Experience in commercial finance, project accounting, operational finance or a similar process-led finance role.
- Strong technical accounting awareness, including revenue recognition, cut-off and completeness.
- Experience improving finance processes, controls, reconciliations and reporting.
- Strong data analysis and Excel skills, with the ability to work through incomplete or inconsistent information.
- Experience working with ERP or operational systems, with NetSuite experience considered advantageous.
- A practical and investigative approach, with the ability to work out what is happening before designing a solution.
- Confidence working with operational and commercial stakeholders to challenge, explain and implement improvements.
- Comfort operating in an environment where processes are still being defined, corrected or built.
This role would suit a solution-focused finance professional who enjoys getting into the detail, understanding how processes operate and helping create more reliable controls and reporting from the ground up.
