About the Role:

The Accountant, Revenue & Projects at Hadrian is a key contributor to building a strong, scalable financial foundation within a high-growth manufacturing environment. This role owns defined areas of the balance sheet and income statement with a focus on project-based revenue and cost accounting, drives accurate and timely month-end close, and partners cross-functionally to support reporting to leadership, investors, and auditors.

Success in this role requires strong technical accounting expertise, particularly in ASC 606 for project-based contracts, internally developed software, and manufacturing cost accounting, along with a high level of detail orientation and intellectual curiosity. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-scaling environment, takes ownership of their work, and is motivated to understand the “why” behind project financial performance and revenue outcomes while improving processes along the way.

In this role you will:

• Own defined areas of the Company’s financials with a specific focus on project-based revenue and cost accounting, while maintaining broad exposure to the balance sheet and income statement

• Own the end-to-end project accounting lifecycle in Net Suite, including project setup, cost structures, budgeting, and ongoing financial oversight

• Establish and maintain project cost budgets, including initial setup, quarterly reforecasts, and variance analysis against actuals

• Manage and analyze project costs, including labor costing and time entry integrity, ensuring accurate cost accumulation aligned with project progress

• Lead revenue recognition for project-based contracts in accordance with ASC 606, including standalone analysis, documentation, and execution

• Own the contract-to-cash process for projects, including billing schedules, invoicing, and alignment between contractual terms and financial execution

• Perform and review revenue vs. billing reconciliations (unbilled AR, deferred revenue), ensuring completeness and accuracy of revenue and balance sheet accounts

• Partner cross-functionally with operations, program management, supply chain, and finance to ensure project financials accurately reflect operational reality

• Assist in ensuring a timely and accurate month-end close, owning reconciliations and project-related accounting processes

• Drive continuous improvement of project accounting processes, controls, and Net Suite configurations to support scalability and audit readiness

• Support ad-hoc technical accounting projects and operational accounting needs as they arise

What We're Looking For:

• Strong understanding of core accounting concepts for manufacturing and project-based businesses

• Subject matter expertise in ASC 606, particularly for project-based or contract-driven revenue models

• Experience leading project accounting, including budgeting, forecasting, cost tracking, and revenue recognition

• Proven ability to prepare and defend technical accounting memos, including revenue recognition and internally developed software

• Understanding of manufacturing cost accounting and activity-based costing, including labor and overhead drivers

• Experience with revenue vs. billing reconciliations (unbilled AR, deferred revenue) and contract-to-cash workflows

• High attention to detail with a strong desire to understand the “why” behind financial results

• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-scaling environment and adapt processes as the business evolves

• Public Accounting experience (Hadrian is open to hiring directly out of Public Accounting)

• Experience working with Net Suite, particularly project accounting modules (strongly preferred)

• Ability to work from our Los Angeles Factory (Torrance)

• Must hold U.S. citizenship or meet ITAR compliance requirements

What Will Set You Apart:

• Worked for a public manufacturing company

• Experience with project-based revenue recognition and cost accounting in a manufacturing or capital‑intensive environment

• Strong hands-on experience with Net Suite project accounting, including revenue, billing, and budgeting

• Ability to translate contract terms and project progress into accurate financial results in partnership with operations
