Project Accountant
Description:
What I am really looking for is a self starter accountant who can also help in the project management of process improvement projects.
Weekly Duties:
-
When invoices are received, review them against the SOW to verify amounts, terms, and deliverables. This includes tracking reimbursable expenses against related fees to determine if the expense is within contracted terms and reviewing for duplicate payments.
-
AP invoices should be submitted directly from the vendor to AP with a copy going to this mail box. Review all invoices received in this box to ensure it was submitted correctly. Those invoices not submitted should be pulled along with backup, reviewed for completeness, combined into one PDF if required, routing information added using Acrobat Standard, and Submitted to AP.
-
Review items on invoice tracker where more than two weeks have passed since submission date and it still shows as unpaid. If the items has not posted through the 505 report, research status to see if it is in one of the AP customer service queues. If not, contact AP-Customer for status.
Monthly Duties:
-
Work with Data Analyst to update the SOW Tracker for actual results and variance versus most recent forecast. Update SOW Tracker for new SOWs and changes in assumptions on existing tracked items.
-
In preparation of the Flash call, work with FP&A counterparts to explain variances between forecast and actual. The groundwork for this explanation is part of the analysis done at the time the monthly accrual is created.
-
Work with Data Analyst to finalize consolidation workbook for business and IT forecasts. Compile Financial review PowerPoint presentation and update all headers. Adjust formatting as required.
-
Present financial review deck to the finance team and solicit feedback. Focus team on open issues or unusual transactions and trends. Revise presentation with feedback from team and forward for use in Controller's page turn.

Attend page turn meeting with Controller to better understand the types of questions being raised and to have first hand knowledge/notes of the changes to be made.
-
Process recharge entries for selected agreements
-
Prepare Accruals related to ClickStaff timing, retention accruals, severance accruals, and spot bonus accruals as needed.
-
Prepare accruals for costs incurred but not vouchered by AP. This will include meetings, purchases, and consulting work conducted without a SOW. The latter element, while it still requires an accrual, is out of compliance and needs to be raised to the Controller immediately.
