Project Accounting Manager
Location: West London / Berkshire (2–3 days per week on-site)
Duration: ASAP start, c. 6 months
Rate: £450–£600/day (Dependent on Experience)
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.
