Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant | Government Contracts | High-Growth Technology Business

What if you could join a company where the finance function is still being built, your ideas genuinely shape the business, and your career can grow alongside a company targeting 50-100x growth over the next five years?

We're partnering with an innovative, engineering‑led technology company supporting highly complex government programs. Following significant growth, they're looking for a hands‑on Senior Accountant to become the first dedicated finance hire and build the accounting function alongside leadership.

This is not a traditional corporate accounting role.

You’ll work directly with executive leadership, own the day‑to‑day accounting operation, help establish scalable financial processes, and play a key role in preparing the business for its next phase of growth.

• Own full‑cycle accounting operations
• Manage AP, AR, invoicing, billing and cash receipts
• Maintain the general ledger and monthly close activities
• Support budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning
• Track project and contract profitability
• Manage government contract accounting requirements
• Ensure FAR Part 31 compliance
• Support DCAA audits and accounting system reviews
• Maintain compliant timekeeping and labor distribution controls
• Prepare financial reporting for executive leadership
• Identify and implement process improvements and efficiencies
• Help build a scalable finance infrastructure as the company grows

In the short term, you’ll be the go‑to accounting expert for the business.

Over the next 6-12 months, you’ll have the opportunity to redesign processes, improve reporting, and help establish best-in-class financial operations.

Longer term, you’ll have the chance to lead the selection and implementation of a future ERP platform as the company scales.

This is a rare opportunity to join early and help build something rather than inherit it.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 5+ years of Government Contract Accounting experience
• Strong knowledge of FAR Part 31 and DCAA requirements
• Experience supporting DCAA accounting system and indirect rate audits
• Experience managing accounting activities within a government contracting environment
• Comfortable operating in a hands‑on, high‑autonomy environment
• Someone who enjoys solving problems, creating structure, and building processes from the ground up

• Incurred Cost Submission experience
• Experience helping a small business scale rapidly

• Direct access to executive leadership
• Opportunity to build and own a finance function
• Genuine career progression as the company scales
• High-growth environment with no ceiling on development
• Team-oriented culture where ideas are encouraged and acted upon
• 100% employer-paid medical coverage
• Dependent healthcare contribution
• 401(k) with company match
• Flexible PTO
• Company shutdown between Christmas and New Year (fully paid)
• Short-term and long-term disability coverage
• Life insurance
• Strong work-life and family-focused culture

If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond transactional accounting and become a strategic part of a company’s growth journey, we’d love to speak with you.
