You will manage Percentage of Completion (POC) schedule, maintain and analyze Work-In-Progress revenue, WIP aging, and ensure compliance with IFRS 15.


* Contract Review: Partner with the Controller to review new Statements of Work (SOWs) and Amendments.

You will help identify non-standard terms (termination clauses, acceptance criteria) that impact revenue timing.

* Excel Proficiency: You are comfortable with complex datasets, lookups, and pivot tables to manage large files.


* Proactive Investigative Mindset: You have the instinct to dig into the data, identify the root cause of discrepancies, and propose solutions before escalating issues.

You don't just flag a variance; you find out why it happened.


* Soft Skills: Experience building and managing relationships with stakeholders.

You can explain complex accounting concepts to non-finance managers.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT


* Project Accounting: Experience managing POC revenue and analyzing project profitability.


* Audit Experience: Experience working at an accounting firm or handling external audits.
