  • Participate in project setup to support appropriate accounting treatment, revenue recognition, billing, and reporting.
  • Investigate and resolve unreconciled items, unusual balances, and inconsistencies in general ledger and subsidiary records.
  • Reconcile general ledger and project-ledger activity and coordinate corrections with responsible stakeholders.
  • Perform unbilled-receivable analysis and recommend actions that support cash flow and contract closeout.
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, schedules, and management reports.
  • Research complex accounting matters and document conclusions in accordance with U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies.
  • Maintain and improve accounting procedures and internal controls that support the integrity, completeness, and reliability of financial data and processes.
  • Prepare audit schedules and supporting documentation and respond to authorized audit requests.
  • Evaluate and support implementation of applicable accounting pronouncements.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve accounting efficiency, data quality, and process effectiveness.
