Focused Fixed Asset Accountant at Focused Energy to build the fixed asset function, creating processes, controls, and documentation for accurate and audit-ready asset management. Partner with finance and operations teams across entities.
Responsibilities
As our Fixed Asset Accountant (f/m/d), you will build the fixed asset function from the ground up, creating the processes, controls, and documentation that keep our asset base accurate, audit-ready, and scalable. There is no single owner of fixed asset judgment across our entities today, so you will set the standards and become the go-to expert for the entire company.
Own the annual fixed asset inventory: Plan and run the year-end physical inventory and reconcile the results to the asset register.
Structure the asset register: Define clear data standards, and maintain an accurate, reconciled register across all entities.
Define the capitalization lifecycle: Set up a clear, documented process from construction in progress (CIP) to asset activation, including capitalization decisions, depreciation tables, impairment, and disposals.
Manage public funding bookings: Establish the booking logic for subsidized assets, including treatment of grants and the related depreciation and reporting requirements.
Automate the purchase-to-asset process: Work with Procurement to design a documented, automated flow from purchase order to capitalized asset in NetSuite and NetAssets.
Build procedures and enable the team: Document policies and work instructions, so the process runs reliably, and hand over clear procedures to the emerging team.
Partner across the business: Work with project, construction, and site teams to get timely, reliable information on assets under construction and assets placed into service.
Support audit readiness: Prepare reconciliations and supporting documentation, and act as the day-to-day contact for external auditors on fixed asset matters.
