financial reporting
- Improve working capital: establish invoice cadence, milestone acceptance criteria, dispute resolution, DSO targets, and cash forecasting aligned to business rhythms.
- Govern revenue recognition (over-time progress measures such as cost-to-cost or labor hours), with consistent treatment for change orders, incentives/penalties, variable consideration, and contract modifications.
- Coordinate monthly close for supported businesses: revenue accruals, WIP true-ups, reserves, and variance narratives; partner with accounting on audit readiness and process discipline.
- Lead monthly WIP reviews to identify over/under-billing, margin erosion, scope creep, and aging unbilled, drive billing hygiene, milestone acceptance, and timely cash conversion.
- Build market-level P&L and cash models tailored to high-growth sectors (e.g., semiconductor fabs, tool install programs, advanced technology ramp-ups) with associated sensitivity modeling (base/upside/downside).
- Serve as the primary finance partner to Advanced Technology (Semiconductor, Tool Install equipment design, cleanroom facilities, etc.) and India leadership; run the monthly financial reporting with variance-to-action accountability.
- Quantify and manage commercial risk (e.g., LDs, payment terms, rework); to optimize as-sold margin
- Lead and develop a team of business-specific financial analysts (including matrix collaboration with India teams); set standards for quality, timeliness, and stakeholder communication.
- Partner with Legal and Operations to codify commercial guardrails and risk-adjusted margin expectations for the business.
- Build executive-ready Power BI dashboards for market and project leadership: backlog waterfall, forecast bridges, margin walks, WIP aging, change orders, and EVM indicators.
- Coach Project Managers and discipline leads on project economics, forecast ownership, and billing priorities; develop playbooks and training content for repeatable excellence.
- Strengthen internal controls over revenue, contract costs, and intercompany arrangements; ensure documentation and approvals meet SSOE policy and auditor expectations.
- Strengthen Earned Value Management (where appropriate) to track EAC/ETC, and early warning indicators on complex programs.
- Convert strategy and pipeline into driver-based budgets, forecasts, and rolling outlooks (bookings, backlog conversion, utilization, pricing/mix, labor leverage, pass-throughs, FX where applicable).
- Leverage Microsoft Copilot as a core daily tool to accelerate analysis, narrative reporting, meeting synthesis, and knowledge capture; apply AI and internal agents where appropriate.
- Establish project financial baselines (fee burn curves, contingency, staffing/leverage, margin targets) and drive monthly reforecast discipline across the portfolio.
- Integrate finance plans with SSOE’s in-house resource planning tool to align capacity, skills, and ramp timing with pipeline and backlog, including coordination with India operations.
- Advise on pricing strategy (rates, fee structures, staffing models) and support bid / no-bid, proposal, and negotiation of MSAs, SOWs, and change orders.
- Deliver utilization and realization analytics at the discipline / market / client level; highlight mixed effects and productivity trends; drive resource and pricing decisions that lift margin and predictability.
- Lead finance transformation initiatives (BI modernization, ERP enhancements, process standardization) with clear ROI and adoption metrics.
