Financial Analyst
Gridcoinc • Birmingham, AL • Full Time
Posted on Tue, Sep 15, 2026
Position Summary:
Gridco is seeking an experienced Financial Analyst to support our service line teams with job costing, financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. This role builds the analytical layer between Viewpoint Vista accounting outputs and service-line P&L management — analyzing job-level revenue, cost, and margin performance; setting and maintaining equipment job costing rates; and providing guidance on proper accounting treatment for capital, expense, direct, and indirect costs. The ideal candidate is analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable translating complex financial data into clear, actionable insight for directors, project managers, and other non-finance stakeholders. This is a hybrid position, with a mix between being in office and working remotely.
What We Offer:
- Competitive pay starting Day 1
- Comprehensive Benefits Package:
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with Company Match
- Voluntary Life & AD&D Insurance
- Accident & Cancer Insurance
- Employer Paid Short- and Long-Term Disability
- Paid Vacation & Holidays
What You'll Do:
- Prepare financial reporting for Operations — job revenues, costs, and margin.
- Conduct job cost analysis, including variance commentary and trend identification, to support weekly and monthly reviews with service line directors.
- Perform data analysis to set and maintain appropriate equipment job costing rates.
- Provide guidance on accounting treatment for expenditures, including capital vs. expense and direct vs. indirect cost classification.
- Process job cost transfers and prepare related journal entries.
- Support budget creation and prepare actual-to-budget and variance reporting, helping translate corporate budget targets into service-line operating plans directors can execute against.
- Collaborate with operations leaders to gather data for rolling forecasts, and perform historical data analysis to develop revenue and cost forecasts so finance and operations are looking at the same picture on the same time horizon.
- Serve as a go-to resource for the Operations team — including directors, project managers, general foremen, and superintendents — researching, explaining, and interpreting financial data and accounting concepts.
- Build and help maintain reports that put job cost and production data in the hands of field leaders in a format they can act on.
- Support consistency in how job costs and production are measured across service lines so cross-line comparisons are meaningful.
- Assist with month-end and year-end close processes, including account reconciliations and accruals related to job costing.
- Develop and maintain financial models, reports, and dashboards to support management decision-making.
- Identify and recommend process improvements to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of job costing and financial reporting.
- Ensure compliance with internal controls, company policies, and GAAP in all financial analysis and reporting.
- Support internal and external audit requests related to job costing and financial reporting, as needed.
- Perform ad hoc financial analysis and special projects as assigned.
What You'll Bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field required.
- 5+ years of finance experience in job/project cost accounting, budgeting, or FP&A, ideally including time at a utility, utility contractor, or construction/field services environment.
- Strong analytical fluency in P&L mechanics, job costing methodologies, variance analysis, and rolling forecasting.
- Solid understanding of capital vs. expense determinations and direct vs. indirect cost allocation.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and experience with ERP and job costing systems required.
- Demonstrated ability to analyze large data sets and translate findings into clear recommendations for non-financial audiences.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with operations leaders.
- High degree of accuracy, attention to detail, and sound judgment when working with financial data.
- Self-starter who can manage multiple priorities and deadlines with minimal supervision.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Viewpoint Vista or a comparable construction/contractor ERP.
- Familiarity with field production data systems and units-based productivity measurement (crew utilization, equipment deployment, labor productivity).
- Experience supporting budgeting and forecasting processes in a capital-intensive, operations-driven organization.
- Familiarity with utility, construction, or equipment-intensive job costing environments.
- Exposure to a PE-backed environment and sponsor reporting cadence.
Working Conditions:
- Office-based position with frequent coordination with operations and field teams
- May require extended hours during storm events or peak billing cycles
