This Opportunity

Komline is seeking a Senior D365 Project Accounting and Costing Implementation Lead with deep experience in engineer-to-order or make-to-order manufacturing to lead the design and implementation of project budgeting, forecasting, cost visibility, and percentage-of-completion (POC) processes within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.

This hands-on functional role will connect project management, manufacturing transactions, and financial reporting so project managers and controllers can understand and reconcile project performance. The role will partner with the ERP Platform Manager, D365 program leadership, solution architect, functional specialists, data engineer, and site subject matter experts as part of an internal implementation team targeting five to six deployments annually, including concurrent projects and acquisition integrations.

The initial focus will be implementations and post-go-live stabilization. D365 program leadership will coordinate delivery plans, while the ERP Platform Manager will own platform priorities and governance. An external service provider will manage ongoing production support and selected technical operations, and the data engineer will lead migration execution. Responsibilities may expand to platform improvements and ongoing support as the deployment portfolio evolves.

• Define reporting requirements for budgets, actuals, commitments, forecasts, variances, and POC. Partner with data and business intelligence resources to reconcile reports to source transactions and the general ledger
• Own functional migration mappings and validation criteria for open projects, budgets, forecasts, work in process (WIP), and related balances. xhyhwjd Coordinate migration execution with the data engineer and business owners
• Lead testing of project and manufacturing cost flows, forecast changes, billing, and period-end scenarios. Investigate variances and obtain business acceptance
• Train project managers and controllers, document recurring cost review and close procedures, and support cutover, initial project reporting, and handoff to ongoing support
• Establish repeatable POC and project-close processes that help users explain cost variances, reconcile detailed costs to financial totals, maintain approved forecasts, and reduce manual workarounds

Required

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, manufacturing, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 7+ years of Microsoft Dynamics AX or D365 Finance and Operations functional experience, with substantial hands-on responsibility for project accounting and manufacturing costing

• Demonstrated ability to trace and reconcile material, labor, overhead, WIP, and project costs across production orders and multilevel assemblies
• Experience translating approved POC and revenue recognition policies into system processes, testing, controls, and reporting
• Strong understanding of project budgets, actuals, commitments, forecasts, estimate to complete, and estimate at completion, including their distinct purposes
• Ability to work directly with controllers and project managers and clearly document where standard functionality, an ISV solution, or custom development is required

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Signup Software Axtension or comparable project control solutions for D365 Finance and Operations
• Manufacturing cost accounting or controllership experience
• Familiarity with Power BI and data models used for project reporting
