Project Accountant Job - Newly Qualified Accountant Job - Big 4 - ACA - Dublin City

Your new company
A global real estate company with live multi-billion euro projects across the globe. Headquartered in the US, the project finance team in Dublin are looking for an enthusiastic big 4/top 10 trained newly qualified accountant coming from an audit role, who is seeking a varied first role in industry. While the headquarters are in the US, the Irish business still has that smaller feel where everyone knows everyone and this role offers the potential to get involved with many different teams outside of finance too.

The company has an excellent benefits package, a social and inclusive company culture and lots of opportunities for promotion and progression - this is a role where you will be given lots of autonomy and support in equal measures and where you will be able to progress as quickly as you are eager to.
The whole team come from a big 4 audit background and have progressed into leadership roles after starting in this same role themselves.

Your new role
You will be part of the project finance team of 8 people, reporting directly into and working very closely under the guidance and support the Project Controller who manages the asset and project you will be working on. Your duties will be varied and will be a mix of project, financial and management accounting, so it is a brilliant role for someone looking for a varied position in a globally recognised company.

Initially you will get started on tasks relating to contract and cashflow management, this could include checking payments against budget, POs and contract values,
preparing cashflow forecasts, managing working capital requirements and the flow of funds for equity draws and debt utilisation. Once you are up to speed with the core deliverables, there is no limit to how quickly you can progress if this is something that appeals to you.

You will also get started on reporting requirements from the get-go, this will involve quarterly management reporting, ensuring lender compliance requirements are being reporting correctly and on time, including financial covenant testing. You will also be preparing quarterly management accounts and assist with ad-hoc investor reporting.

Managing the annual audit will be tasked to you as well.

As you progress you will be given more responsibility to assist with ad-hoc projects, liaise directly with investors, assist in preparing information for the Board of Directors in the form of board packs and aditionally you will assist with things like tax compliance.

This is not a general ledger accounting role, you will get involved in the full breadth of a project - this means you could be sitting in on legal proceedings, assisting with contract negotiations with contractors and managing all cash in and out for projects. There is an open door policy and you can sit in on any and all meetings related to your projects from day one, so the exposure a role like this offers is uncapped.

What you'll need to succeed
  • You will be a newly or recently qualified accountant looking to make the first move to industry from practice, ideally big 4 or top 10 trained in Ireland however candidates from smaller practices are also encouraged to apply so long as your background is in audit. Strong excel experience is required.
  • A key trait for this role is someone who is eager to learn and not afraid to put their hands up for new challenges.
  • As you will engage with many different stakeholders, a confident communicator with strong relationship management skills is required for this role.
  • A positive attitude and a social nature will fit in really well with the team and company culture as they are an outgoing, personable bunch.

What you'll get in return
You will be rewarded with a highly competitive salary of €60,000 - €65,000. Benefits include performance-based bonus, healthcare and pension access, death in service, income protection policy and up to 27 days holidays starting. On top of that you will benefit from and an inclusive company culture that values Diversity & Inclusion, has a social committee with lots of fun events for staff and also makes an effort to contribute to charitable partners.
