We’re looking for an Assistant Project Accountant to join our Finance team.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for preparing the accounting behind every project. It covers revenue recognition across all delivery models, from short-cycle services work through to multi-year contracts and made-to-order manufacturing, maintaining the schedules that support percentage completion, WIP, accrued and deferred revenue, together with project cost accounting. It prepares the reconciliations and month-end journals that underpin the project position, raises client invoicing on instruction from Commercial, and produces the reporting that shows how time and cost have been captured across the portfolio.
