• Support project‑related journal entries and adjustments, understanding the impact of costs moving in and out of projects.
• Work closely with project administration and operational teams to resolve outstanding queries and improve reconciliation accuracy.
• Provide visibility of project financial performance and highlight any issues requiring further investigation.

• Previous experience in project accounting, project finance or financial reconciliations.
• A good understanding of core accounting principles, including journals, accruals and WIP.
• Experience reconciling third‑party expenditure against client billing.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to investigate discrepancies and work through detailed financial information.
• Someone organised, analytical and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.

The Opportunity
