About The Position

This position is a hands-on, one-person accounting function designed to bridge the gap between transactional data and executive decision-making. The primary objective is to transform the existing accounting foundation into a source of reliable financial intelligence. This individual will personally manage the full spectrum of accounting & financial operations, from ensuring the accuracy of initial coding to delivering high-level strategic projections. You’ll be the cornerstone of our back office - working directly in QuickBooks, Paylocity, and Beebole to process transactions, close the books, manage cash, and ensure compliance with government contracting requirements. You’ll also maintain our profiles in government systems (SAM.gov, IPP, etc.), manage insurance programs, and keep our records audit-ready.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
5-10 years of hands-on accounting experience, including a proven track record of owning the accounting function for a small business
Strong reporting skills with the ability to build complex reconciliations and custom reports outside of standard accounting software.
Advanced proficiency in MS Excel, QuickBooks, and Paylocity; experience with integrated timekeeping systems is required.
Comfortable working in a small, entrepreneurial business where you will own the work, not just manage it.

Nice To Haves

CPA, CMA, or comparable professional certification/license is strongly preferred.
Significant experience in government contracting (familiarity with DCAA, FAR/DFARS, indirect rate, and billing) is a major plus.

Responsibilities

Own all day-to-day accounting functions, ensuring precision in a lean, small-business environment.
Standardize the month-end close and re-engineer accounting process architectures to ensure data integrity and scalable workflows.
Engineer advanced management reporting packages, including granular cost visibility, task order, and customer P&Ls, cash flow forecasting, and annual budgeting.
Manage full-lifecycle GovCon accounting, specifically complex task-order setups, compliant billing cycles, and DCAA reporting.
Manage company profiles in SAM.gov, IPP, and other government systems.
Keep all financial, insurance, and compliance records organized, backed up, and audit-ready.
Maintain compliance with DCAA, FAR/DFARS, indirect rates, and contract billing.
Oversee insurance renewals and risk management.
