• Prepare monthly financial reports, reconcile balance sheet accounts, and assemble detailed schedules that support reported results.
• Contribute to month-end and year-end close by recording entries, validating account balances, and helping meet reporting deadlines.
• Review cost distributions across projects, identify unusual variances, and research the underlying causes to resolve discrepancies.
• Partner with project and operations leaders to provide financial insights, performance updates, and forecasting support for ongoing work.
• Maintain work-in-progress schedules, fixed asset records, and depreciation activity while supporting audit and tax documentation requests.
• Use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to process accounting transactions, analyze project data, and improve reporting efficiency and internal controls.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in a project-driven business environment.

• Demonstrated background in project accounting and job costing, including analysis of project profitability.

• Experience producing financial statements and supporting full month-end close activities.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP and core accounting processes such as general ledger management, journal entries, and reconciliations.

• Advanced Excel capabilities, including the ability to work with pivot tables, lookup functions, and financial data analysis.

• Effective communication and organizational skills, with the ability to collaborate across accounting and operations teams.

• Experience in offshore oil and gas, industrial services, marine repair, construction, international accounting, or multi-entity accounting is preferred.
