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.

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.

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 NetSuite 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 NetSuite, 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 NetSuite project accounting, including revenue, billing, and budgeting
Ability to translate contract terms and project progress into accurate financial results in partnership with operations
