Payroll Accountant, Costpoint

• Compensation: USD 90,000 - USD 105,000 - yearly

We were early to the fight against Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance, and we’ve been pushing the edge ever since.

Our mission is to help government and enterprise organizations understand and manage commercial data risks, shape their digital signatures, and operate with confidence in an increasingly complex information landscape. We build and integrate advanced, tech-forward solutions to problems our customers often don’t know they have - until it matters most.

We move fast, think critically, and deliver where it counts.

What’s in it for you?

We work hard and do fun things.

You’ll work on high-impact, technically challenging problems alongside a team that values teamwork over competition. Veilant offers a solid work-life balance and flexible remote work options. At Veilant, you’ll work with the most talented software developers, systems engineers, and subject matter experts, building tools and systems that make a real difference.

Why this role exists

Veilant is growing, and our Finance team needs someone who can take real ownership of the accounting work that keeps the business moving.

One of the first things you will take over is payroll, transitioning that responsibility from our Controller. From there, you will become a key part of our monthly close, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and the continued evolution of our finance processes.

We are not looking for someone to simply inherit a checklist.

We want someone who understands Costpoint, knows government contracting accounting, and sees an inefficient process and naturally starts thinking about how to make it better.

The work

You will own and support work that directly affects the accuracy and reliability of our financial operation.

Your core areas of ownership will include:

• Payroll processing, reconciliation, and issue resolution
• General ledger accounting and journal entries in Deltek Costpoint
• Month end close and account reconciliations
• Subledger to general ledger reconciliation and discrepancy research
• Accounting records aligned with GAAP, FAR, CAS, and government contracting requirements
• Partnership with Accounting, FP&A, and other teams across the business
• Process documentation, improvement, and automation

This is a hands on accounting role, but we want you thinking beyond the transaction.

• If something takes ten steps and should take five, we want you to notice.
• If a process lives in someone's head, we want you to help document it.
• If Costpoint can be used more effectively, we want you asking how.

What success looks like

We want you to know what good looks like before you ever join us.

Within your first six months, you should be able to:

• Independently own our recurring payroll process with a high degree of accuracy
• Understand how Veilant's accounting processes fit together from payroll through close and financial reporting
• Navigate our Costpoint workflows confidently
• Own recurring reconciliations and investigate discrepancies through resolution
• Build strong working relationships across Accounting and FP&A
• Identify processes that can be simplified, documented, or automated
• Create repeatable workflows that make the Finance team more scalable
• Become someone the team trusts to take ownership and follow work through to completion

You will probably thrive here if

• You have at least 3 years of hands on Deltek Costpoint accounting experience.
• You have processed payroll yourself, not simply reviewed someone else's work.
• You understand general ledger accounting, journal entries, reconciliations, and month end close.
• You have working knowledge of GAAP, FAR, and CAS.
• You are comfortable investigating why numbers do not tie instead of passing the problem to someone else.
