Project Financial Reporting Manager

Health Services Advisory Group•Arizona, AZ

About The Position

The Project Financial Reporting Manager is the functional lead for Deltek Costpoint and the financial reporting produced from it. The role ensures project data is set up correctly, flows accurately into the general ledger, and supports reliable decision-making. It partners closely with the Controller to maintain Costpoint accuracy and alignment with contract requirements. Because HSAG largely works under cost-reimbursement government contracts, familiarity with indirect rates, funding, and cost allowability is advantageous. Reporting is central to the position. The manager builds and improves reports and dashboards in Costpoint and Cognos, works with project managers and leadership to maintain accurate budgets, actuals, and forecasts, and presents financial results to executives. The role also supports RFP and proposal development, including budgeting and pricing, often under tight timelines. The position manages the project financial lifecycle, including budgeting, forecasting, work plans, estimate-to-complete, and contract closeout. It supports accounting, billing, cash-flow reporting, month-end close, incurred cost submissions, and government audits, and performs additional financial analysis as needed. Occasional extended work hours may be required around project deadlines.
