Project Financial Analyst
Role Overview
The Project Finance Analyst represents the FP&A department at the project level, serving as the financial link between the Project Management Office (PMO), Software, and Accounting. This role owns the financial structure of active projects — monitoring budgets, tracking spend, reconciling billing, and forecasting project performance — while ensuring project financial data flows accurately and on time between teams.

Partner with Project Managers to ensure timely, accurate flow of project financial data into company systems and reporting.
Advise the PMO on the optimum structure and classification of projects and project documentation within the ERP system.

Consult with Accounting and PMO to identify and resolve project finance-related issues.
Assess project risk and analyze program variances against budget.
Forecasting data and project budgets
Stay current on the financial status, major concerns, and general progress of all major projects; report fluently on these topics to management.
Attend PMO meetings and interact regularly with Project Managers and management on project financial matters.
Conduct project closeout reviews to analyze and report on project performance and confirm data accuracy.
Monitor project milestones and Accounts Receivable to verify timely, accurate invoicing.
Track and evaluate project spend against budget, including ROI and debt-to-income ratio analysis.
