Accounting Manager

We are a management consulting and engineering advisory firm with a focus on R&D, software development, and technology integration.

About the Role

You are an experienced accounting professional who understands the financial operations of a staffing, consulting, or professional services organization. You thrive in project-based businesses where revenue depends on consultants, customer purchase orders, timesheets, payroll, invoicing, collections, and cash flow. You enjoy owning the accounting function, improving financial processes, and helping leadership make sound business decisions. You are comfortable actively managing the full accounts receivable cycle, including tracking customer Purchase Orders, confirming available PO funding, issuing timely and accurate invoices, following up when POs are exhausted or need to be increased, and pursuing delinquent customer payments. You understand the accounting expectations of government contractors and government-adjacent vendors, including familiarity with FAR requirements and/or DCAA-compliant accounting practices. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment where priorities change quickly and attention to detail is critical.
