FIN - PPM/Projects Functional Consultant Additional Information:
  • For Project Financial Management with Capitalization as the major use case, the essential skills fall into four areas: accounting judgment, project controls, systems/process execution, and governance.
1. Capitalization accounting knowledge.
  • The most critical skill is knowing what qualifies for capitalization versus expense recognition.
  • You need to understand: For capitalization-heavy project finance, this is the core capability: knowing which costs can become assets, when capitalization starts, when it stops, and what evidence is required.
2. Project cost control.
  • Capitalization depends on clean cost tracking.
  • Strong project financial managers need to control costs at the right level of detail.
  • Essential skills include: A strong practitioner should be able to say: what has been spent, what portion is capitalizable, what remains, and what will hit depreciation later.
3. Financial systems and data skills.
  • Capitalization is usually system-driven.
  • Manual judgment matters, but execution happens through ERP, PPM, procurement, time tracking, and fixed asset systems.
  • Important skills include: The key skill here is traceability: every capitalized dollar should be traceable from source transaction to project, asset, accounting entry, and supporting documentation.
4. Month-end close and controls.
  • Capitalization is highly audit-sensitive, so close discipline and controls are essential.
  • Critical skills include: A mature capitalization process requires strong evidence around project approval, business purpose, eligible activities, cost detail, placed-in-service date, and asset classification.
5. Project governance and stakeholder management.
  • Capitalization is not just a finance task. It requires coordination across project managers, engineering, procurement, accounting, tax, legal, and operations.
  • Key skills include: The practical skill is being able to translate accounting rules into instructions project teams can actually follow.
6. Capitalization-specific technical skills.
  • For a capitalization-focused project finance role, these are especially valuable:
  • Most important skill set - For this use case, the strongest profile is someone who combines: Project accounting + capitalization policy expertise + ERP/PPM execution + close controls + stakeholder management.
  • In practical terms, they should be able to manage the full chain: business case → project setup → cost collection → eligibility review → capitalization approval → CIP tracking → asset creation → depreciation start → audit support.
