About this role
Senior Accountant, Government Contract Accounting
Build your GovCon expertise at a fast-growing, private equity-backed accounting and advisory company—with room to take on more complex work as the business grows.
Full-time | Fully remote | $95,000–$115,000 base + 5–10% target performance bonus
Own the technical delivery that keeps government contractors running: accurate books, dependable closes, and clear project reporting. You’ll work across client engagements alongside an Accounting Manager or Controller, building depth in government-contract accounting without carrying a client portfolio or staff-management mandate.
What you’ll do
- Deliver month-end close, balance-sheet reconciliations, journal entries, and close packages.
- Handle payroll, labor distribution, AP/AR, project setup, and day-to-day accounting.
- Prepare job-cost and management reports; explain results and answer clients’ technical questions.
- Apply GAAP and government-contract accounting requirements; support audit workpapers and special projects.
- Manage deadlines across engagements and help improve how the work gets done.
What you bring
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with government-contract exposure.
- Hands-on GAAP, FAR, DCAA, and CAS knowledge, including cost allowability and indirect cost allocation.
- Experience with Unanet, QuickBooks, Deltek Costpoint, or a comparable accounting system.
- A bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent related experience.
- U.S. citizenship, as required by client contracts.
Prior success delivering accounting services in a consulting environment is strongly preferred. Unanet plus QuickBooks is especially valuable. CPA preferred, not required.
Why this move
Build a stronger technical specialty through varied client work, exposure to experienced accounting leaders, and opportunities to expand your responsibilities as your expertise and the company grow.
