📢 We’re hiring: Project Accountant | Blackburn
Are you a Project Accountant with strong IFRS 15 and project/contract accounting experience who wants real ownership rather than simply maintaining an existing process?
As Maintel continues its Finance transformation, we’re looking for a Project Accountant to join our Management Accounts function and help shape how project revenue is reported across our £93m AIM-listed telecoms group.
This is a genuinely hands-on role with end-to-end ownership of our non-recurring project accounting, covering project P&L, WIP, revenue recognition, deferred and accrued revenue and overall project profitability.
💼 What you’ll be doing:
- Owning project P&L, revenue, costs and WIP across non-recurring contracts
- Applying IFRS 15 percentage-of-completion principles and ensuring accurate revenue recognition
- Managing deferred and accrued revenue positions and project balance sheet reconciliations
- Producing monthly project and portfolio reporting, including clear commentary on revenue, margin, trends and variances
- Partnering closely with Project Managers to understand cost-to-complete, project performance and identify potential margin or delivery risks early
- Working with Billing and Credit Control to ensure invoicing aligns with contractual milestones
- Supporting forecasting, FP&A and wider project analysis
- Helping us strengthen and improve our project accounting processes, controls and reporting
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
🔎 What we’re looking for:
You’ll be part-qualified or qualified ACCA/CIMA (or equivalent) with at least 3 years’ project accounting experience, ideally gained within telecoms, technology, professional services or another project-led environment.
For this one, strong practical experience of IFRS 15, WIP, milestone billing and deferred/accrued revenue is really important.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll also be someone who can get beyond the numbers — confidently partnering with non-finance stakeholders, challenging where needed and translating detailed project data into clear, useful insight for senior stakeholders.
Advanced Excel and experience using an ERP/project accounting system are important, while Access Dimensions experience would be a bonus.
