Revisor II

At Alliant Energy, our purpose is to serve customers and build stronger communities. We are passionate about powering beyond the market challenges of today, while powering what's next in energy. When our employees say "I am energy", it means they take pride in the work we do when disaster strikes, as well as all the days in between. We want you to be safe, happy and healthy. That's why we prioritize safety, offer volunteer opportunities and provide competitive pay, comprehensive health and retirement benefits, tuition reimbursement and paid time off.

Take your accounting expertise to the next level by driving financial accuracy and insight across high-impact strategic energy projects-including new and traditional technologies - to support reliable and resilient energy production. Unprecedented growth in energy demand and emerging technologies is driving additional needs for staffing to support a growing asset portfolio which currently exceeds $20B.

In this role, you'll go beyond traditional accounting by influencing how capital investments are structured, leveraging strong Excel and emerging technologies (like AI) to enhance reporting, and playing a key role in regulatory filings and audits. If you're a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic close cycle environment, enjoys solving complex financial challenges, and is eager to learn new ERP tools and Asset Accounting software, this is a unique opportunity to make a measurable impact while continuing to grow your technical and analytical skillset.

This is a hybrid role reporting out of our Madison, WI office.
