Project Accounting Manager (Services & Value Stack)

Location: Maidenhead (2-3 days per week on-site)
Duration: ASAP start, c. 6 months
Rate: £450-£600/day (Dependent on Experience)

A rapidly growing engineering and infrastructure business is investing heavily in its Commercial Finance capability and is seeking an Interim Project Accounting Manager to lead a critical remediation and process improvement project within its Services and Value Stack operations.

This newly created role sits at the heart of a finance transformation programme designed to improve reporting accuracy, strengthen financial controls and create consistency across operational and financial processes.

Working closely with Finance, Operational Leadership and Systems teams, youll help establish robust processes and reporting frameworks within a business area that has historically received less focus but is becoming increasingly important to future growth.

The Role
This position offers a unique blend of project accounting, process improvement and business partnering responsibilities.

Youll be working within a fast-moving environment where multiple systems, reporting sources and operational processes are evolving simultaneously. Success will come from your ability to understand complex data, identify weaknesses and implement practical solutions.

Initially, youll spend time investigating current processes, reviewing reporting outputs and building relationships with key stakeholders before driving improvements and delivering recommendations.

Key Responsibilities
* Review existing financial reporting, revenue recognition and operational processes.
* Improve consistency across reporting frameworks and financial controls.
* Support the ongoing development of NetSuite-based reporting and processes.
* Work closely with system implementation teams to ensure reporting requirements are effectively incorporated.
* Analyse high-volume data sets and identify reporting inconsistencies.
* Develop financial models, dashboards and management reporting tools.
* Drive improvements in governance, processes and data quality.
* Support accurate revenue recognition in a high-volume, lower-value transaction environment.
* Collaborate with operational leaders to improve commercial visibility and financial performance.
* Deliver findings, recommendations and practical solutions to senior stakeholders.

About You

Youll be a technically strong finance professional with a passion for process improvement and operational partnering.

You will ideally have:
* You must possess a strong working knowledge of IFRS 15 and IFRS 102, with proven experience applying these standards on a day-to-day basis in depth across large-scale, multi-disciplinary organisations.
* Experience in project accounting, commercial finance or management accounting roles.
* Experience working within engineering, technical services, infrastructure, manufacturing or similar project-led environments.
* Advanced financial modelling skills.
* Experience improving financial processes, controls and reporting structures.
* Strong ERP experience, ideally involving NetSuite.
* The ability to work with large, imperfect data sets and create clear, actionable outputs.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
* A proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to thrive in changing environments.

Why Join?
* Be part of a newly established Commercial Finance function.
* Play a key role in shaping financial processes and reporting standards.
* Partner directly with senior operational and finance leaders.
* Influence systems, reporting and governance improvements.
* Opportunity to leave a lasting impact within a growing and evolving business.
