Senior Project Accountant (Process Documentation & Treasury)
The Opportunity: Tatum Consulting is seeking a high-caliber Senior Accountant or Senior Internal Auditor for a high-impact, dual-track role. You will be tasked with stabilizing a critical accounting process that has historically suffered from lack of documentation and systemic complexity.
This is a unique "Builder" role. You will perform the daily and monthly cash settlement tasks while simultaneously mapping the process to create sustainable Work Instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
location: Houston, Texas
job type: Contract
salary: $50 - 65 per hour
work hours: 8 to 5
education: Bachelor's degree
experience: 5 Years
responsibilities:
- Process Reconstruction: Act as a "detective" to reverse-engineer current cash collection and fund allocation workflows. Identify the "why" behind every step and document it clearly within the workpapers.
- Treasury & Cash Operations: Manage complex cash movements for solar assets. This involves downloading reports from Intellix (banking system), reconciling them against manual Excel reports from Treasury, and identifying payments, fees, and transfers.
- Fund Allocation: Analyze high volumes of automated cash collections to determine which specific fund accounts they belong to. Propose Journal Entries to move cash from the main account to individual fund accounts.
- System Bridge-Building: Navigate disparate systems that do not communicate with each other. You will be responsible for the manual data-bridge between Intellix and Excel to ensure accuracy and prevent batch duplication.
- Optimization: Evaluate the current process for inefficiencies. Instead of just following the old way, you will recommend and implement better ways to organize workpapers and flow data.
- Training & Mentorship: Once the process is stabilized and documented, you will serve as the subject matter expert to train incoming full-time staff.
qualifications:
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in Senior Accounting or Senior Internal Audit.

- Autonomy: High degree of self-sufficiency. You should be comfortable figuring things out with minimal supervision from leadership.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. CPA or CIA track preferred.
