Project Financial Analyst
About The Position
The Financial Analyst is a hands-on partner to Project Managers and the finance team, supporting the financial management of active projects while contributing to a maturing corporate finance function. This is not a task-only accounting seat, it is an opportunity to influence project performance, review margins, support billing, and vendor activity, and help build better insights, structure, and decision support. The role balances detail-oriented execution with broader financial thinking and will evolve as the finance function matures. This role manages multiple concurrent projects with varying contract types and complexity and operates with a high degree of autonomy while remaining closely aligned with project and finance leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or related field
- Approximately 2–3 years of experience in financial analysis, project-based finance, accounting support, or a related business partnering role
- Exposure to project environments where billing, margin review, invoicing, or vendor payment coordination are part of the workflow
- Solid understanding of core finance and accounting concepts, including how operational activity flows through billing, payables, and project profitability
- Strong Excel skills and the ability to organize information, take ownership of follow-through, and communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
- Sound financial judgment, high integrity, and professionalism
