Project Financial Reporting Manager

The Project Financial Reporting Manager serves as the functional lead for Deltek Costpoint and the financial reporting that comes out of it. This role makes sure project data is set up correctly, flows accurately into the general ledger, and becomes reliable reporting that leadership can use to make decisions. The position partners closely with the Controller to keep Costpoint accurate and aligned with contract requirements. HSAG works largely under cost-reimbursement government contracts, so familiarity with indirect rates, funding, and cost allowability is a strong advantage.

Reporting is central to the role. The position builds and improves reports and dashboards in Costpoint and Cognos, works with project managers and leadership to keep budgets, actuals, and forecasts accurate, and presents financial results clearly in executive settings. It also supports RFP and proposal development, including budgeting and pricing, often under tight timelines.
