Responsibilities

• Ensure accurate and timely month-end close for all owned areas, including accruals, reconciliations, and flux analysis.
• Support external audit and lender reporting requirements.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed accounting team; set performance expectations and build bench strength for a growing organization.
• Develop, support, and maintain FAR-compliant indirect cost (overhead) rate schedules, including field, home-office, and combined rate calculations used for government and public-agency contracts.
• Apply FAR Part 31 cost principles to segregate allowable, unallowable, and directly-associated costs, and maintain documentation to withstand external and agency (e.g., DCAA-style / state DOT) audit scrutiny.
• Prepare and support annual incurred cost submissions and overhead rate audits, coordinating with external auditors and cognizant agencies.
• Partner with project accounting and pricing teams to ensure indirect rates are applied consistently across billing, forecasting, and proposal pricing.
• Own the end-to-end payables process across all entities: invoice intake, coding, three-way match, approval routing, payment runs, and month-end accruals.
• Establish and enforce AP policies, approval matrices, and segregation-of-duties controls appropriate to a public-company-ready control environment.
• Manage payment timing to optimize cash, capture early-pay discounts, and maintain vendor relationships.
• Oversee the 1099 process and coordinate with tax on withholding and reporting.
• Own vendor master data governance: onboarding, W-9 / TIN collection and matching, banking validation, and periodic cleansing to prevent duplicates and fraud exposure.
• Implement vendor onboarding controls, including sanctions / OFAC screening and beneficial-ownership documentation where applicable.
• Serve as the escalation point for vendor disputes, aging, and reconciliation issues.
• Administer the corporate credit card program end to end: issuance, limits, policy, spend monitoring, and monthly reconciliation.

• Document standard operating procedures and build the process infrastructure needed to support continued growth without proportional headcount increases.
• Integrate acquired entities into the payables, vendor, and card functions — mapping legacy vendors, aligning to the standardized chart of accounts, and migrating open payables and controls.
• Partner with the M&A and integration teams to stand up day-one and steady-state AP operations for newly acquired businesses.
• Support purchase-accounting and opening-balance-sheet work as it relates to payables and accrued liabilities.
