  • Drive project costing activities: budget vs actuals, cost accruals, variance analysis, forecasting, and margin analysis.
  • Take full ownership of month-end for project-related ledgers: accruals, prepayments, reclasses, revenue recognition (where applicable), and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Prepare and analyse monthly project reports, highlighting key movements in cost, margin, and cash flow to support management accounts.
  • Partner closely with Commercial Finance, Project Managers, and Operations to challenge assumptions, explain variances, and influence commercial decisions.
  • Support internal and external audit requirements, including provision of schedules, reconciliations, and commentary on project accounting treatments.
  • Identify and implement process improvements in project accounting, CAPEX controls, and reporting as the business continues to scale.
Experience & Skills

  • Proven experience as a Project Accountant or in a similar role with clear exposure to CAPEX and project costing.
  • Strong month-end background: comfortable owning accruals, prepayments, reclasses, and reconciliations in a tight deadline environment.

  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, complex formulas)
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and presentation skills.
  • High attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
  • Experience in telecommunications, utilities, construction, or a similar field is beneficial
