Are you a Project Accountant with strong IFRS 15 and project/contract accounting experience who wants real ownership rather than simply maintaining an existing process?
As Maintel continues its Finance transformation, we’re looking for a Project Accountant to join our Management Accounts function and help shape how project revenue is reported across our £93m AIM-listed telecoms group.
This is a genuinely hands-on role with end-to-end ownership of our non-recurring project accounting, covering project P&L, WIP, revenue recognition, deferred and accrued revenue and overall project profitability.
What you’ll be doing:
- Owning project P&L, revenue, costs and WIP across non-recurring contracts
- Applying IFRS 15 percentage-of-completion principles and ensuring accurate revenue recognition
- Managing deferred and accrued revenue positions and project balance sheet reconciliations
- Producing monthly project and portfolio reporting, including clear commentary on revenue, margin, trends and variances
- Partnering closely with Project Managers to understand cost-to-complete, project performance and identify potential margin or delivery risks early
- Working with Billing and Credit Control to ensure invoicing aligns with contractual milestones
- Supporting forecasting, FP&A and wider project analysis
- Helping us strengthen and improve our project accounting processes, controls and reporting
What we’re looking for:
You’ll be part-qualified or qualified ACCA/CIMA (or equivalent) with at least 3 years’ project accounting experience, ideally gained within telecoms, technology, professional services or another project-led environment.
For this one, strong practical experience of IFRS 15, WIP, milestone billing and deferred/accrued revenue is really important.
You’ll also be someone who can get beyond the numbers — confidently partnering with non-finance stakeholders, challenging where needed and translating detailed project data into clear, useful insight for senior stakeholders.
Advanced Excel and experience using an ERP/project accounting system are important, while Access Dimensions experience would be a bonus.
