Job Description:

ASTOUND is hiring elite Operational Financial Controllers to help run the business at the project level with clarity, control, and speed. These individuals are not traditional accountants — they are embedded business operators who understand how to manage margin, time, spend, risk, and reporting in a creative, fast-moving environment. They will partner with Project Managers, Account Managers, and the Finance team to ensure real-time accuracy of job costing, cash flow forecasting, invoicing, and P&L performance per project. You are the financial pilot in the seat next to the delivery lead.

Job Responsibility:

Project Setup & Governance: Create project financial structures (WBS, cost codes, budgets) in the ERP
validate estimates and margin targets before kickoff
Establish change-order, PO, and approval workflows aligned to budget caps and client SOW
Job Costing & WIP: Track labor, materials, freight, and 3rd-party services daily
reconcile timecards and receiving to POs
Prepare monthly WIP/percent-complete schedules, cost-to-complete forecasts, and margin walk explanations
Billing & Cash: Monitor deposits, progress, and milestone invoices
manage retention and close-out billing
resolve deductions promptly
Partner with AR to minimize DSO and escalate collection risks early
Variance & Performance: Lead weekly project financial reviews: budget vs. actuals, risk/opportunity register, and recovery plans
Analyze drivers of variance (scope creep, rush fees, rework) and recommend corrective actions
Controls & Compliance: Enforce purchasing and spend policies
verify 3-bid or preferred-vendor compliance where required
Support revenue recognition (ASC 606), audit requests, and month-end close (journals, accruals, reconciliations)
Cross-Functional Enablement: Advise PMs on pricing add-ons, change orders, and schedule impacts
quantify trade-offs for client approvals
Contribute to continuous improvement of ERP, dashboards, and close processes

Requirements:

5–8+ years in project accounting/controlling within job-based environments (exhibits, events, custom fabrication, construction, or manufacturing)
Strong command of job costing, WIP, percent-complete, and cost-to-complete forecasting
ERP proficiency (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, MS Dynamics) and Excel modeling (lookups, pivots, index/match)
Familiarity with procurement controls, 3rd-party vendor management, and freight/logistics cost capture
Clear communicator who can brief executives and coach PMs
high ownership and urgency under tight show timelines

What we offer:

Excellent Medical Insurance
Excellent Dental Insurance
Excellent Vision Insurance
Paid Time Off, Holiday Pay
401K matching program after 90 days of employment
100% Company Life and Long-Term Disability Coverage
Employee Referral Program
