Marc Daniels is partnering with a growing and ambitious business to recruit a Senior Project Accountant to join its Finance team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role with responsibility for project accounting, revenue recognition, month-end reporting, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of project balances across the ledger.

This position will suit a technically strong accountant who enjoys working closely with both Finance and operational teams, and who can bring structure, control, and insight to a fast-growing business.

The role

You will own the accounting across all revenue-generating disciplines, ensuring project balances are accurate, complete, and fully explained. You will be responsible for revenue recognition on a percentage completion basis, WIP, accrued and deferred revenue, project cost accounting, and the reconciliation of contract asset and liability positions.

You will also lead a controlled month-end close across the project ledgers, prepare the monthly project summary report, and support the production of management accounts down to gross margin. Working closely with Commercial Finance and the wider business, you will help ensure accounting entries are supported, reconciled, and clearly understood.
