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. The role is structured around three capability tiers that define both your day-one responsibilities and your 18-month growth trajectory. High performers will advance into senior functional analyst and program support roles.

Requirements

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

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
