Project Accountant
This role is ideally suited to professionals who bring strong capital project accounting experience within complex organisations, combined with confident business partnering and, ideally, experience with Oracle. Alternatively, the role would also be suited to finance professionals with extensive Oracle implementation experience and only sporadic capital project accounting experience.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Acting as a subject matter expert for project and capital accounting, ensuring projects are accurately reflected within new systems and processes
- Leading or supporting the configuration and optimisation of Oracle Fusion Projects (PPM), including project costing, capitalisation and financial controls
- Partnering closely with finance, estates, IT and wider professional services teams to translate accounting requirements into practical system solutions
- Reviewing and challenging existing processes to ensure alignment with best‑practice project and capital accounting standards
- Supporting business process design, data mapping, testing (SIT/UAT) and reporting requirements
- Ensuring robust audit controls, seamless sub‑ledger integration and clear project financial reporting
- Championing new ways of working and helping stakeholders confidently navigate change
What you'll need to succeed
- Proven project or capital accounting experience within a large, complex organisation
- Strong experience in business partnering, with the ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly to non‑finance stakeholders
- Oracle Projects / PPM implementation experience or demonstrable experience working on finance system change projects
- A solid understanding of budgeting, cost control and capital lifecycle accounting
- The confidence to challenge assumptions, work through ambiguity and juggle competing priorities
- Excellent communication skills and a resilient, pragmatic mindset
What you'll get in return
Day rate of up to £400, dependent on experience
Hybrid working – typically 3 days per week in the office (Tuesday–Thursday), with flexibility where needed
32 days annual leave plus 9 public holidays
Central Glasgow City Centre location with excellent transport links
