• Actively participate in project meetings, providing financial insight and risk analysis to Operations.
• Understand major business components and implications specific to accounting for construction companies.
• Ensure compliance with external contract terms and internal company policies and procedures.
• Run analytics and create ad hoc reports for projects and divisions to identify risks, concerns, and potential outcomes of decisions.
• Evaluate results and variances, identifying trends and areas for improvement while reconciling discrepancies by comparing and correcting data.
• Provide information to management by assembling and summarizing data, preparing reports, and presenting findings and analyses.
• Increase productivity by improving processes, eliminating duplicate efforts, and communicating changes effectively.
• Close out project financials and accounts upon project completion.
• Support senior analysts and managers in data analysis and risk reviews.
