Job Description

The CoOp – PM for Financial Analysis supports the operational leader responsible for driving financial discipline and execution rigor across the project lifecycle, with a primary focus on reducing unbilled revenue, improving unbilled aging visibility, standardizing accrual processes, and minimizing Accounts Receivable (AR) across the Project Management portfolio.

This role supports analysis and action at the intersection of Project Management, Finance, Billing, and Operations and is accountable for translating project execution into timely, accurate revenue recognition and cash collection.

In this role the successful CoOp will learn under a Director of Project management how to establish governance, metrics, and operating cadences – with the working level, Executive Leadership, and mid-management – to ensure projects are billed accurately, accruals are consistent, and financial exposure is proactively managed.

Key Responsibilities in conjunction with Finance and the Project Management Team

1. Define, Disseminate, and Train on Uniform Accrual Processes

  • Design and document standard accrual methodologies aligned with accounting policy and revenue recognition standards.
  • Partner with Finance to ensure accruals are accurate, timely, auditable, and consistently applied.
  • Lead the rollout of accrual standards across project teams, including tools, job aids, and SOPs.
  • Deliver training to Project Managers, Operations leaders, and Finance partners on accrual expectations and controls.
  • Monitor compliance and continuously improve accrual accuracy through audits and feedback loops.

2. Understand and Manage Unbilled Aging

  • Develop and maintain unbilled aging dashboards segmented by project, customer, region, and aging bucket.
  • Define thresholds and triggers for management review and executive escalation.
  • Lead regular cross-functional reviews focused on aged unbilled items and corrective actions.
  • Ensure clear ownership and timelines for resolution of aged unbilled balances.

3. Drive Down Unbilled Revenue

  • Own enterprise-wide visibility and accountability for unbilled project revenue across all active and closed projects.
  • Partner with Project Managers, Finance, and Billing to identify root causes of unbilled balances (scope changes, documentation gaps, milestone delays, disputes).
  • Establish targets, action plans, and escalation paths to systematically reduce unbilled balances.
  • Implement standardized project closeout and billing readiness checkpoints.

4. Minimize Accounts Receivable (AR)

  • Collaborate with Billing, Finance, and Sales to ensure clean handoffs from project execution to invoicing.
  • Drive process improvements that reduce billing errors, rework, and customer disputes.
  • Support proactive dispute resolution and documentation readiness to accelerate collections.
  • Track and report AR drivers linked to project execution issues and lead corrective actions.

Key Metrics & Outcomes

  • Definition and dissemination of SOPs on Accruals, Unbilled, AR, and collections
  • Reduction in total unbilled revenue and aged unbilled balances
  • Improved accrual accuracy and reduced post-close adjustments
  • Faster billing cycle times and reduced AR days outstanding
  • Increased forecast accuracy and financial transparency
  • Institutional and functional adherence to SOPs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Engineering, or related field (MBA or CPA preferred).
  • Pursuing graduate degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, MIB or MBA.
  • Experience in managing project financial controls, billing, accruals, and AR in a complex environment.
  • Strong understanding of revenue recognition principles and project accounting.
  • Advanced analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience leading cross-functional process transformation initiatives.

Why This Role Matters
