Company Overview

Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.

Role Summary

The Accounting Manager leads day-to-day accounting operations at Blue Energy, reporting directly to the Controller. This role owns the full record-to-report cycle — from general ledger accuracy and financial statement preparation through to AP oversight, cash flow forecasting, debt covenant compliance, and equity tracking — while directly managing and developing a small team of accounting professionals.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Statements & Month-End Close

Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) in accordance with US GAAP

Lead the month-end close cycle — own the checklist, resolve blockers, and escalate to the Controller as required

Review, approve, and post all material journal entries including accruals, depreciation, ARO accretion, and intercompany eliminations

Maintain a journal entry log with full audit traceability from source transaction to financial statement

Prepare the monthly management accounts pack with variance analysis for the Controller

Co-ordinate year-end statutory accounts preparation and external audit support

Accounts Payable Oversight

Provide managerial review of the AP function — ensure three-way matching (PO, receipt, invoice) before payment approval

Review and approve payment runs above the AP Lead’s delegated authority threshold

Monitor the aged creditor report; resolve escalated holds and exceptions

Enforce segregation of duties between invoice entry, approval, and payment release

Cash Flow Forecasting

Own and maintain the 13-week rolling cash flow forecast, consolidating AP, AR, payroll, and capex inputs

Monitor actual cash against forecast; update assumptions on a rolling basis

Identify liquidity constraints and recommend corrective actions to the Controller

Prepare cash flow reporting for lenders, investors, and the board

Debt Compliance & Equity Tracking

Calculate all debt covenant ratios monthly (DSRC, LTV, interest coverage) and flag breaches immediately

Prepare quarterly and annual lender compliance certificates within agreed deadlines

Maintain the debt covenant tracker across all active credit facilities

Own and reconcile the equity roll-forward monthly — share capital, retained earnings, paid-in capital, distributions

Ensure all equity transactions are recorded with appropriate authorization documentation

Maintain the fixed asset register and CIP schedule for all capital projects

Team Leadership & Controls

Directly manage the Accounting Supervisor, AP Lead, and Accounting Analysts — regular one-to-ones, clear objectives, and active development support

Maintain and strengthen internal controls across all accounting processes; lead preparation for internal and external audits

Ensure compliance with US GAAP (ASC 360, 410, 606, 815, 842), company accounting policies, and applicable regulatory requirements

Qualifications

Preferred 6–10 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a management or senior supervisory role

Demonstrated hands-on experience preparing and reviewing US GAAP financial statements and managing a full month-end close cycle

Strong technical knowledge of journal entry preparation, balance sheet reconciliations, depreciation, ARO, and intercompany eliminations

Experience overseeing an AP function with direct knowledge of three-way matching and payment controls

Practical experience with cash flow forecasting and debt covenant monitoring in a capital-intensive environment

Familiarity with equity roll-forward schedules, CIP accounting, and fixed asset register management

CPA required; energy, utilities, or infrastructure sector experience is a strong plus

Proficiency with Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a comparable ERP platform

We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.
