  • Ensure all committed and incurred costs are captured before job closeout
  • Validate that job costing aligns with contract scope, change orders, and approved work

  • Upon Sales approval, confirm readiness for Accounting to invoice, bill, and close out the project
  • Support continuous improvement of job costing processes and documentation accuracy
