• Lead, coach, and performance-manage a ~16-person team of Gov Con accounting professionals
• Serve as senior escalation point for complex client issues and executive-level client discussions
• Oversee and review DCAA-related work, including business systems audits and compliance remediation
• Review, approve, and defend incurred cost submissions and supporting schedules
• Ensure accurate job cost accounting, indirect rate structures, and allowable cost treatment
• Drive improvements across billing, revenue recognition, and delivery processes
• Partner with firm leadership on growth strategy, capacity planning, and service model evolution

• Hands-on ownership of DCAA business systems audits, not limited to preparation or support roles
• Direct responsibility for reviewing, approving, or defending incurred cost submissions
• Working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, and CAS as applied to real client or contractor environments
• Experience with job cost accounting, indirect rate development, and compliant billing practices
• Leadership experience managing teams of 10+ professionals
• Experience operating in professional services or outsourced accounting models, not purely internal corporate accounting

• Experience with Unanet, Deltek Costpoint, or similar Gov Con accounting systems
• Background at Gov Con-focused firms or practices supporting multiple federal contractors simultaneously
• Experience advising clients through audit findings, corrective action plans, or compliance remediation

• Full-time, salaried role
