Federal Financial Management System Analyst

Savantage Solutions • Washington, DC

25d • $75,000 - $110,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Savantage Solutions is seeking a Federal Financial Management System Analyst to join our onsite federal support team. This is a growth-track role built for an early-career accounting professional ready to move beyond traditional financial operations into AI-assisted research, self-service data analysis, and citizen development. You will operate at the intersection of federal financial accounting and modern low-code/AI tooling, independently building reports and queries, validating financial data, and supporting agency stakeholders without routing every request through senior technical staff.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of federal accounting or federal financial management experience
• Demonstrated understanding of federal appropriations accounting: budget authority, obligations, expenditures, and USSGL account structures
• Working knowledge of Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) guidance and federal financial reconciliation practices
• Ability to interpret financial data and identify discrepancies without requiring technical staff support
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting findings directly to government stakeholders
• Intellectual curiosity and demonstrated willingness to learn new tools—AI, low-code platforms, and data analysis environments
• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a federal security clearance (Public Trust minimum)

Nice To Haves

• Direct exposure to IPAC (Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection), GTAS, or CARS/GWA transaction processing
• Familiarity with G-Invoicing reimbursable agreement lifecycle (GT&C → Order → Performance → Settlement)
• Knowledge of OMB Circular A-123 internal controls or A-136 financial reporting requirements
• Experience with payroll, bankcard, or reimbursable activity accounting in a federal agency environment
• CPA, CGFM (Certified Government Financial Manager), or CDFM (Certified Defense Financial Manager) certification or active pursuit.
• Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar) to assist with data analysis, query generation, or research tasks
• Exposure to Oracle APEX, Oracle ERP, or similar enterprise financial platforms
• Basic familiarity with SQL concepts — ability to read a query and understand what it is retrieving
• Experience writing business requirements, functional specs, or structured user stories in a federal IT context
• Familiarity with CMMI or ISO 9001 quality management processes and structured SDLC workflows

Responsibilities

• Interpret query results against federal accounting logic — USSGL account structures, appropriations lifecycle, fund balance with the Treasury
• Identify when an AI-generated report answer is financially incorrect, incomplete, or misaligned with agency business rules
• Reconcile financial data across general ledger, sub-ledger, and Treasury reporting systems
• Support IPAC, GTAS, and CARS/GWA transaction validation and exception research
• Communicate findings clearly to federal agency stakeholders without senior staff intermediation
• Use AI-assisted query tools to independently build ad-hoc financial reports against the agency ERP database
• Compose and refine natural language prompts to retrieve accurate financial data; validate outputs before delivery
• Package and present AI-generated findings in formats suitable for agency financial managers and auditors
• Identify data anomalies, reconciliation gaps, and trend deviations through self-service analysis
• Maintain a personal library of validated, reusable prompt templates for common financial research scenarios
• Document research methodology to support audit trail and repeatability requirements
• Configure and modify basic Oracle APEX reports and dashboards using low-code tools and AI assistance
• Write and validate simple SQL queries with AI-assisted generation; understand output well enough to catch errors
• Participate in SIT and UAT cycles with sufficient technical literacy to write reproducible defect reports
• Support requirements documentation and SCR intake for system enhancements
• Execute basic configuration changes under developer review and approval workflow

Benefits

• Growth-track role
• Competitive compensation
• Diversity is an asset
• Innovation is nurtured in an environment that embraces creativity and open minds
• Thrive on the ideas and perspectives generated by a diverse workforce
