    Client Controller | Government Contracting (GovCon) | Outsourced Accounting

    About the Role

    We’re seeking a Client Controller to manage the full accounting lifecycle for a portfolio of clients, with a strong focus on Government Contracting (GovCon). This is a hands-on, client-facing role responsible for financial accuracy, reporting, and advisory support.

    You’ll own client relationships end-to-end—delivering high-quality financials, ensuring compliance, and providing strategic insight. This role requires prior GovCon experience (FAR, DCAA, indirect rates) and is not designed for entry-level training in this area.

    What You’ll Do

    Client Leadership & Advisory

    Serve as the primary accounting lead for multiple clients

    Build strong relationships through proactive communication and reliable delivery

    Lead regular meetings to review financials, trends, and planning needs

    Advise on FAR compliance, indirect rates, and contract financials

    Guide clients on DCAA expectations and audit readiness

    Accounting Execution

    Own and perform full-cycle accounting (AP/AR, payroll coordination, reconciliations, close)

    Prepare accurate, timely financial statements and supporting schedules

    Maintain clean, audit-ready books

    Ensure compliance with GAAP and FAR Part 31

    Track allowable vs. unallowable costs

    Reporting & Analysis

    Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning

    Prepare and analyze indirect rate structures (overhead, G&A, fringe)

    Assist with DCAA audits, incurred cost submissions, and rate reviews

    Support contract-level reporting, funding tracking, and compliance reporting

    Team Collaboration & Process Improvement

    Collaborate with internal team members while owning final deliverables

    Review work for accuracy and completeness

    Contribute to process improvements and standardization

    Strengthen GovCon-specific workflows aligned with compliance requirements

    Deadline Management

    Manage multiple client timelines and deliverables independently

    Consistently meet deadlines across all accounts

    Track and deliver on GovCon-specific deadlines (audits, rate submissions, reporting)

    Qualifications

    Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

    4–7+ years of progressive accounting experience (full-cycle required)

    Proven experience in GovCon accounting (FAR, DCAA, indirect rates)

    Background in a client-facing or outsourced accounting environment preferred

    Strong knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and cost accounting

    Experience with systems such as PROCAS, Unanet, or similar tools is a plus

    Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills

    Ability to manage multiple clients with accuracy and professionalism

    Why Join Us?

    Direct client impact and ownership

    Exposure to a diverse range of GovCon clients and complex challenges

    Fully remote work environment

    Opportunity to build trusted client relationships

    Collaborative team culture focused on accountability, service, and professional growth

    Compensation: • $85,000 - $110,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications.

    If you are a hands-on accounting professional with GovCon expertise who enjoys working directly with clients and taking ownership of results, we encourage you to apply.

    This is a remote position.
