Overview
We’re searching for an experienced accounting consultant to support a fixed asset and construction-in-progress (CIP) cleanup project for one of our high-growth, private equity–backed clients. The organization has experienced rapid growth through acquisitions and is preparing an auditable opening balance sheet under a tight deadline.
This is a critical, short-term engagement ideal for a hands-on accountant who can quickly assess detailed expense data, apply capitalization judgment, and work independently with minimal ramp-up.
Project Scope
The consultant will assist with the cleanup of approximately $4 million of remaining CIP and expense activity (from an original $10 million review) covering a three-year period. The work involves reviewing invoices, identifying individual assets, and preparing data for final review by leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and analyze construction-in-progress (CIP) and expense transactions spanning multiple years
- Pull and review detailed invoices and supporting documentation
- Identify and group costs into appropriate fixed asset units for capitalization
- Apply sound accounting judgment to determine capitalizable vs. non-capitalizable costs
- Organize and present findings in a clear, reviewable format for leadership
- Partner with the client’s accounting leadership to meet tight audit deadlines
- Ensure work is accurate, well-documented, and audit-ready
Deliverables
- Clean, organized fixed asset schedules
- Clearly identified asset groupings tied to supporting invoices
- Data prepared to a “review-ready” stage for final approval
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Strong hands-on accounting background (Senior Accountant level or above preferred)
- Proven experience with fixed assets, CIP, and capitalization analysis
- Experience supporting audits or preparing audit-ready schedules
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
- Highly detail-oriented with the ability to follow instructions and apply judgment
- Prior experience in project-based or consulting roles is a strong plus
Preferred Experience
- Fixed asset cleanups or post-acquisition accounting projects
- Multi-entity or acquisition-heavy environments
- Public accounting or advisory background (Big Four or national firm a plus, not required)
Timeline & Expectations
- Start: ASAP
- Duration: Approximately 3 weeks (full-speed engagement)
- Conversion: This is a project-only role with no expectation of full-time conversion
Why This Project
- High-impact, clearly defined scope
- Short-term engagement with meaningful responsibility
Opportunity to leverage deep accounting expertise without a long-term commitment
