Full Job Description
This Opportunity
The Senior D365 Project Accounting & Costing Implementation Lead will lead the design and implementation of project accounting and manufacturing costing processes within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations across Komline. This hands-on role will partner with controllers, project managers, engineering, and manufacturing teams to establish consistent budgeting, forecasting, cost reporting, and percentage-of-completion (POC) processes in engineer-to-order and make-to-order manufacturing environments. As part of Komline's internal implementation team, this individual will connect manufacturing transactions with financial reporting, support ERP deployments and acquisition integrations, and help teams understand project performance through accurate costs, reliable forecasts, and repeatable project-close procedures.
Responsibilities
Lead requirements gathering and process design with controllers, project managers, engineering, and manufacturing teams; translate Finance-approved accounting policies into system requirements and controls
Configure project structures, categories, budgets, forecasts, billing, and posting rules; establish consistent project review and change-control processes
Partner with Finance to define POC and revenue-recognition requirements, including eligible costs, calculation methods, budget and forecast versions, adjustments, and reconciliation rules
Design estimate-to-complete and estimate-at-completion processes, incorporating approved forecast revisions and visibility into purchasing and production commitments without double counting
Trace material, labor, overhead, and work-in-process (WIP) costs through production orders and multilevel assemblies into project financials; identify gaps in cost detail, timing, and transaction traceability
Evaluate standard D365 capabilities, third-party solutions, and proposed extensions with the solution architect; document limitations and validate designs using realistic project scenarios
Define reporting requirements for budgets, actuals, commitments, forecasts, variances, and POC; partner with data and business intelligence resources to reconcile reports to source transactions and the general ledger
Own functional mapping and validation for open projects, budgets, forecasts, WIP, and related balances; coordinate migration execution with the data engineer and business owners
Lead testing of project and manufacturing cost flows, forecast changes, billing, and period-end scenarios; investigate variances and secure business acceptance
Train project managers and controllers on recurring cost-review, forecasting, POC, and project-close procedures
Support cutover, initial project reporting, post-go-live stabilization, and transition to ongoing support across Komline's implementation portfolio
