About the Role

Reporting to the Controller, the Senior Project Accountant & Financial Systems Analyst is a dual-mandate role responsible for both the financial management of projects and the integrity, accuracy, and performance of BOS’s financial data systems.

You will work closely with project managers, operations leadership, and the Controller to provide real-time financial visibility, support forecasting, and lead efforts to ensure that the data driving business decisions is clean, consistent, and reliable. This role also embraces the use of AI tools to enhance productivity, accelerate analysis, and surface insights. The ideal candidate combines strong project accounting experience with hands-on fluency in ERP systems, business intelligence tools, and data management in a project-based manufacturing or engineering environment.
