    • WIP schedules

  • Review and approve balance sheet reconciliations and ensure overall financial accuracy

  • Partner closely with project managers and operational leaders to analyze:

  • Assist with audit support, including preparation of schedules and responding to auditor requests

  • Mentor and develop accounting staff, fostering a collaborative team environment



Qualifications

    • Job costing and project financials
