Project Financial Analyst

Description

What you will lead:

• Partner with PMs to develop and maintain supported Estimates to Complete (ETC) and Estimate at Completion (EAC) forecasts based on remaining scope, staffing, labor mix, commitments, schedule, and delivery risks. PMs remain accountable for remaining scope estimates and timely forecasts; the analyst validates assumptions, challenges inconsistencies, and flags stale or unsupported forecasts
• Facilitate recurring project financial reviews and analyze budget burn, percent complete, margin trends, unbilled balances, receivables, backlog, and forecast variances
• Provide validated project information to FP&A and business-unit leadership while supporting consistent processes, dashboards, and PM financial training
• Translate project financial reports into clear insights and actions, prepare prioritized financial review materials for Business Unit and operational leaders, and track agreed follow-up through resolution or escalation
• Manage monthly revenue-recognition inputs and review project labor, expenses, subconsultant costs, commitments, and transfers for accuracy and compliance
• Coordinate with PMs and Project Billers to address invoice readiness, unbilled items, collection risks, funding constraints, and potential write-offs
• Identify and quantify staffing, labor-mix, utilization, and schedule risks affecting forecast project performance
• Set up and maintain projects in Deltek Vantagepoint, including contract structure, phases, budgets, billing terms, revenue methods, and required financial attributes
• Review contracts, amendments, additional services, and extra work authorizations for financial terms, limits, milestones, and project risks 

What you bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Engineering or a related field; equivalent project-finance experience may be considered
• 3 or more years of experience in project accounting, project controls, project financial management, operational finance, or professional services accounting
• Working knowledge of WIP, ETC/EAC forecasting, revenue recognition, project billing, accounts receivable, project margin, and contract administration
• Proficiency with Excel and project-based ERP systems; Deltek Vantagepoint and Power BI experience is preferred
• Ability to communicate financial concepts clearly, ask informed questions, manage multiple priorities, and build productive partnerships with PMs
• Experience in engineering, construction, survey, architecture, or another project-based professional services environment is strongly preferred
