Cost Accounting Manager- Aurora

3 weeks ago

Aurora, United States Michael Page Full time

I'm partnered on a retained search with the CFO at a rapidly growing, PE backed organization located near Lisle, IL. The PE sponsor has invested large amounts of capital into our client's business and the company is also receiving large grants from the government to continue the immense growth. We placed two individuals last year due to this growth, and as one of those individuals already received a promotion, they are now looking to bring on a Project Costing Accounting Manager.

As the Project Costing Accounting Manager, you will oversee the construction project accounting, asset capitalization processes, and provide analytical insights to support strategic business decision-making. You will also work collaboratively with cross-discipline departments (engineers, project managers, finance, etc) to ensure accuracy in each project's completion. They are wanting this person to come in and hit the ground running to capitalize on the growth the company is experiencing and to quickly progress their career forward.
