Responsibilities

• Own cost accounting for hardware production — material, labor, and overhead — as we scale manufacturing operations.
• Maintain and reconcile inventory, WIP, and COGS for manufactured products and consumable materials.

• Manage revenue recognition and cost tracking across construction projects using percentage-of-completion and milestone-based methods.

• Cook with project managers and segment leads to ensure financial data reflects operational reality.
• Own the monthly close for manufacturing and project accounting workstreams — journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis.
• Prepare supporting schedules for monthly and quarterly financial statements in compliance with GAAP.
• Contribute to audit readiness, supporting our external auditors with schedules, workpapers, and documentation.
• Supervise and develop direct reports; assign work, review output, and conduct performance evaluations.
• Partner with FP&A on segment-level forecasting inputs, particularly hardware unit economics and project-level margin assumptions.
• Serve as the accounting point of contact for Operations and business line leaders on cost and margin questions.
• Identify and implement improvements to manufacturing and project accounting workflows, controls, and reporting.
• Support ERP optimization as ICON builds toward a more automated, audit-ready financial infrastructure.
