About This Role:
Reporting to the Sr. Director of Operations Accounting, the Senior Operations Accountant will play a critical role in supporting the accounting operations of Crusoe’s real estate development and AI infrastructure portfolio. This is a hands-on individual contributor role responsible for the day-to-day accounting, reporting, and analysis tied to data center development projects and operating sites. We are looking for a detail-oriented accountant who can navigate complex, capital-intensive development activity and partner closely with operations, project management, and FP&A.
This position will own the accounting cycle for assigned development projects and operating data centers — including construction-in-progress (CIP) tracking, fixed asset capitalization, lease and vendor accounting, and site-level operating expense reporting — while providing finance leadership and operations partners with the accurate, timely information needed to manage a rapidly scaling portfolio.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Project & CIP Accounting: Maintain construction-in-progress schedules for AI data center development projects, ensuring accurate cost capitalization, allocation, and timely placed-in-service transfers to fixed assets.
Month-End Close: Own assigned close activities for development and operating entities — journal entries, accruals, inter-company allocations, and balance sheet reconciliations — meeting close deadlines with supporting documentation.
Operations Partnership: Partner with development, construction, and site operations teams to review vendor invoices, change orders, and project budgets; investigate variances and ensure costs are coded to the correct project, phase, and GL account.
Lease & Real Estate Accounting: Apply ASC 842 to ground leases, power agreements, and other real estate contracts; maintain lease schedules and ensure correct classification, measurement, and disclosure.
Reporting & Analysis: Prepare monthly project-level and site-level financial reporting packages, including spend vs. budget, capitalized cost rollforwards, and key operating metrics for AI infrastructure assets.
Controls & Compliance: Execute SOX-relevant controls over CIP, fixed assets, and operating expenses; maintain documentation and support internal and external audit requests.
Key internal contacts: Accounting, FP&A, Tax, AP, Real Estate Development, Construction Management, Site Operations, and Project Controls
Key external contacts: General Contractors, Construction Vendors, Landlords, External Auditors, and JV Partner Accounting Teams
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required; a Master's degree is a plus.
Certification: CPA (Certified Public Accountant) designation is highly preferred.
Experience: 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to real estate development, construction, infrastructure, or data center operations; public/private mix preferred. Strong working knowledge of CIP accounting, fixed assets, and ASC 842.
Bonus Points:
Proven ability to own a work stream end-to-end with limited supervision in a fast-moving environment.
Strong communication skills, capable of explaining accounting treatment and variances to development, construction, and operations partners.
Strong systems and process orientation — comfort with large ERP environments (NetSuite, Oracle, or similar), advanced Excel, and project-cost tracking tools.
