- Support project managers with budget-to-actual reporting and commitment tracking throughout the project lifecycle
- Participate in procurement approval workflows, ensuring purchases align with project scope and authorized spend levels
- Maintain meticulous records in support of regulatory, lender, or third-party audits
- Other duties as assigned
- 2–4 years of accounting or project controls experience, ideally in construction, energy, defense, aerospace, or another heavily regulated capital project environment
- Exposure to Ramp or similar spend management platforms

- Strong attention to detail
- Process-oriented mindset
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with non-accounting teams in a fast-moving startup environment
- Proficient in Excel; able to manage and reconcile budget tracking independently
