About This RoleWe are seeking a Senior Accounting Manager to join our growing organization as an integral component of the core accounting team. This is a builder's role; the right candidate will help shape our processes and workflows, consistently looking for efficiencies and scalability to improve the accuracy and timeliness of our financial results. The candidate should have experience developing FAR-compliant overhead rates, managing portions of the monthly financial statement close, reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations, and supervising staff with a mentorship mentality.
Key ResponsibilitiesClose, reporting & leadership
- 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.
FAR & indirect cost rates
- 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 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.
Accounts payable
- 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.
Vendor management
- 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.
Corporate card & T&E
- Administer the corporate credit card program end to end: issuance, limits, policy, spend monitoring, and monthly reconciliation.
- Own the travel and expense (T&E) policy and platform, driving compliance, timely substantiation, and clean GL coding.
- Identify and remediate policy leakage, unusual spend patterns, and control gaps.
Process improvement & systems
- Assess current accounting processes and workflows, identify inefficiencies and control weaknesses, and design and implement scalable, automated solutions.
- Drive automation and standardization within the ERP (Deltek Vantagepoint or comparable), including AP automation, OCR / invoice capture, and approval-workflow configuration.
- Document standard operating procedures and build the process infrastructure needed to support continued growth without proportional headcount increases.
M&A integration
- 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.
- 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including team leadership, preferably in the AEC or…
