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.
