o Track approval status, monitor aging, and proactively identify actions to reduce DSO and support Summit’s cash flow objectives.
o Resolve billing discrepancies by collaborating with clients, vendors, and internal departments.
o Maintain organized and audit‑ready billing files to support internal audits, client audits, and monthly financial reviews.
Accounts Payable Support
o Partner with Site Office Managers and/or the Accounts Payable Manager to perform initial invoice reviews within the company’s ERP system.
o Verify accuracy of quantities, pricing, delivery confirmations, and purchase‑order compliance.
o Ensure prompt posting of project costs to maintain accurate job‑cost reporting and prevent delays in billing or forecasting.
General Accounting & Project Support
o Prepare detailed job-cost reports, cost-to-date reconciliations, and conduct comprehensive project financial analyses as required.
o Assist with month‑end close activities, including preparing reconciliations and supporting schedules.
o Coordinate project closeout financial activities, including reconciliations, cost validation, and documentation retrieval.
o Execute additional tasks related to projects as assigned by Project Management or Corporate Accounting.

o Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.
o Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to partner cross‑functionally.
