Conduct monthly financial reviews with Project Managers to analyze variances between actual costs and budgeted forecasts.
Revenue Recognition:
Ensure revenue is recognized accurately in accordance with accounting standards (e.g., ASC 606 / percentage-of-completion method).
Project Closeout:
Reconcile project accounts upon completion, release retainage, and archive financial records.
Audit Support:
Provide documentation and tracking for internal and external project-related audits.
Qualifications & Requirements Education:
