Senior Accountant

A growing government-contractor is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its finance team. This role offers a high level of visibility, autonomy, and flexibility while supporting a sophisticated accounting environment that includes project accounting, indirect rate management, financial reporting, audit support, and government contract compliance. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys owning the month-end close process, maintaining strong internal controls, and partnering with operations to support business growth. Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Primarily remote work environment with occasional local meetings
• Strong quality of life and flexibility
• Opportunity to work directly with finance leadership
• Broad exposure to operational accounting, reporting, and compliance
• Growing organization with a collaborative culture
• Opportunity to influence process improvements and automation initiatives

Key Responsibilities

• Own assigned month-end close activities, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and account reconciliations
• Maintain the general ledger and support accurate financial reporting
• Prepare and reconcile balance sheet accounts, including cash, receivables, payables, payroll, and fixed assets
• Support financial statement preparation and management reporting
• Assist with indirect cost accounting and related financial analyses
• Support audits, compliance reviews, and tax-related reporting requirements
• Maintain and strengthen internal controls and accounting procedures
• Build and improve reporting models, reconciliations, and accounting workflows
