Responsibilities
- Ensure accurate and timely month-end close for all owned areas, including accruals, reconciliations, and flux analysis
- Support external audit and lender reporting requirements
- Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed accounting team; set performance expectations and build bench strength for a growing organization
- Develop, support, and maintain FAR-compliant indirect cost (overhead) rate schedules, including field, home-office, and combined rate calculations used for government and public-agency contracts
- Apply FAR Part 31 cost principles to segregate allowable, unallowable, and directly-associated costs, and maintain documentation to withstand external and agency (e.g., DCAA-style / state DOT) audit scrutiny
- Prepare and support annual incurred cost submissions and overhead rate audits, coordinating with external auditors and cognizant agencies
- Partner with project accounting and pricing teams to ensure indirect rates are applied consistently across billing, forecasting, and proposal pricing
- Own the end-to-end payables process across all entities: invoice intake, coding, three-way match, approval routing, payment runs, and month-end accruals
- Establish and enforce AP policies, approval matrices, and segregation-of-duties controls appropriate to a public-company-ready control environment
- Manage payment timing to optimize cash, capture early-pay discounts, and maintain vendor relationships
- Oversee the 1099 process and coordinate with tax on withholding and reporting
- Own vendor master data governance: onboarding, W-9 / TIN collection and matching, banking validation, and periodic cleansing to prevent duplicates and fraud exposure
- Implement vendor onboarding controls, including sanctions / OFAC screening and beneficial-ownership documentation where applicable
- Serve as the escalation point for vendor disputes, aging, and reconciliation issues
- Administer the corporate credit card program end to end: issuance, limits, policy, spend monitoring, and monthly reconciliation
- Own the travel and expense (T&E) policy and platform, driving compliance, timely substantiation, and clean GL coding
- Identify and remediate policy leakage, unusual spend patterns, and control gaps
- Assess current accounting processes and workflows, identify inefficiencies and control weaknesses, and design and implement scalable, automated solutions
- Drive automation and standardization within the ERP (Deltek Vantagepoint or comparable), including AP automation, OCR / invoice capture, and approval-workflow configuration
- Document standard operating procedures and build the process infrastructure needed to support continued growth without proportional headcount increases
- Integrate acquired entities into the payables, vendor, and card functions — mapping legacy vendors, aligning to the standardized chart of accounts, and migrating open payables and controls
- Partner with the M&A and integration teams to stand up day-one and steady-state AP operations for newly acquired businesses
- Support purchase-accounting and opening-balance-sheet work as it relates to payables and accrued liabilities
