We are supporting a confidential, high-growth organisation with the appointment of experienced Project Accounting / Commercial Finance specialists.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing project accounting processes, including percentage completion, revenue recognition triggers and project margin reporting.
  • Applying technical accounting principles, including IFRS 15 and FRS 102, to a complex project-led environment.
  • Reconciling project information to Finance and the general ledger.
  • Improving estimates to complete, cost-to-complete reporting and project margin visibility.
  • Working with large, inconsistent datasets to identify discrepancies and improve reporting accuracy.
  • Building practical processes, controls and tools that support consistent project reporting.
  • Partnering with commercial, project management and delivery teams to support adoption of improved processes.
  • Challenging existing assumptions and simplifying complex accounting matters for non-finance stakeholders.

The successful candidate will bring:

  • Strong hands-on experience of IFRS 15 and revenue recognition in practice.
  • Experience working with complex, long-term or multi-disciplinary contracts.
  • Project accounting experience, including percentage completion, WIP, EAC, ETC and project margin analysis.
  • A background in complex project-led environments, long-term contracts, major capital projects or similar settings.
  • Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills, with the ability to work with large and inconsistent datasets.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to challenge constructively and build credibility with commercial and operational teams.
  • A practical, investigative and solution-focused approach.
  • Confidence working in a changing environment where processes are still being developed or improved.

This role would suit a technically strong accountant who is comfortable working in a complex project-led environment, simplifying technical accounting issues and helping a business move towards more consistent, reliable and commercially useful reporting.
