The Opportunity

The Senior Project Accountant is responsible for the financial management and accounting of complex nuclear development projects. This role ensures projects remain financially controlled, accurately reported, and compliant with applicable accounting standards and regulatory requirements. Acting as a critical bridge between project teams and finance, you will provide insight into project performance, supports informed decision-making, and helps ensure disciplined execution in a regulated environment.

Financial Management

• Oversee the financial aspects of assigned projects, including budget development, forecasting, and routine financial reporting.

• Ensure accurate revenue recognition in accordance with contract terms and applicable accounting standards.

• Partner with accounting and FP&A to align project reporting with corporate reporting requirements and monthly close timelines.

Reporting

• Prepare and present recurring project financial reports, including budget updates, forecasts, cash flow analyses, and variance commentary for senior management and stakeholders.

• Develop and distribute project status reporting that highlights cost trends, schedule and cash impacts, and items requiring management attention.

Audit Support

• Assist with internal and external audits by compiling supporting documentation, responding to inquiries, and ensuring records are accurate, complete, and audit-ready.
• Maintain organized backup for project transactions, billings, and cost substantiation to support compliance requirements, including DOE-financial assisted awards, or government-regulated accounting environments where applicable.

Accountabilities

• Ensure project records are maintained in accordance with GAAP and company policies, with consistent documentation standards.
• Support monthly close activities by preparing and reviewing accruals and reconciliation support; meet all deadlines related to close and reporting cycles.

What We're Looking For and Who You Are!

We’re explicitly looking for experienced project accountants who have worked in highly regulated, capital-intensive environments. This is not a generic staff accounting role, this position supports nuclear project development, where financial accuracy, discipline, and compliance are critical to project credibility and execution.

• You bring 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3+ years in project accounting or project cost accounting, preferably supporting large infrastructure, energy, construction, or engineering projects.
• You have direct experience managing project budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, and variance analysis, and you understand how project financial performance ties to schedule, scope, and execution risk.
• You have supported monthly close activities for project-based organizations, including accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting, and you are comfortable operating in a GAAP-driven environment with tight deadlines.
• You have hands-on experience with billing and revenue recognition, including reviewing billings, supporting accurate revenue recognition under contract terms, and coordinating with project teams to resolve billing or cost issues.
• You are comfortable working across project management, engineering, and finance, acting as a financial partner who can translate project activity into clear, decision-ready financial information.
• You bring experience working under internal controls and audit requirements, and you understand the importance of documentation, traceability, and audit readiness in regulated environments.
• You are detail-oriented, organized, and accountable, and you can manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously without losing accuracy or judgment.
• You are a clear communicator who can explain project financial performance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Export Control: Must be able to comply with U.S. export control regulations, including DOE 10 CFR 810 and applicable NRC requirements.
• It Would Be Great If

• You have experience supporting projects in nuclear, energy, infrastructure, construction, or other highly regulated industries.
• You’ve worked with ERP or project accounting systems such as NetSuite, Deltek Costpoint, SAP, or similar.
• You have exposure to DOE-financial assisted awards, or government-regulated accounting environments.
• You’ve supported external audits and are comfortable responding to auditor requests and inquiries.

This isn’t a back-office accounting role. If you want to be embedded with project teams, drive financial clarity, and hold the line on controls and compliance in a nuclear development environment, let's talk!
