About The Position

Build your GovCon accounting career while helping a rapidly growing, private equity-backed company expand its consulting practice. Your work will directly support government-contractor clients—and help establish the reliable delivery that growth depends on. Own the technical delivery that keeps government contractors running: accurate books, dependable closes, and clear project reporting. You’ll work across client engagements alongside an Accounting Manager or Controller, building depth in government-contract accounting without carrying a client portfolio or staff-management mandate.

Experience with Unanet, QuickBooks, Deltek Costpoint, or a comparable accounting system.
A bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent related experience.
U.S. citizenship, as required by client contracts.
