Financial Planning and Project Accounting Manager

Turn project data into better business decisions. Fehr Graham is looking for a Financial Planning and Project Accounting Manager who can see beyond the numbers. You’ll lead our project accounting and financial analysis team, strengthen how we plan and forecast, and help project managers and operational leaders understand what the numbers mean for their work.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys digging into project performance, improving how information is reported and giving people the financial insight they need to make better decisions.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll have the opportunity to shape how financial information supports a growing professional services firm. You won’t be sitting on the sidelines producing reports – you’ll work directly with project managers, operational leaders and the Chief Financial Officer to improve project profitability, forecasting and business performance.

You’ll also lead and develop a team, improve processes, and help build financial tools and reporting that people can actually use.

This position is based in our Rochelle, Illinois, office. At Fehr Graham, relationships matter – with our clients and with each other. We work hard, support one another and make room for some fun along the way. “Have Fun” is one of our Core Values, and you’ll see that in everything from team celebrations to office outings.
