Part-Time Financial Controller

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain the integrity of our Deltek Costpoint system, including high-level configuration of projects and cost pools.
• Lead creation, maintenance, and management of the company-wide annual budget, and integrate it with our 13-week cash flow forecast to align corporate goals with real-time liquidity.
• Personally manage the annual Incurred Cost Submission. Using existing templates, extract data, populate the ICE model, and defend the submission in the event of audit.
• Perform monthly true-ups of Fringe, Overhead, and G&A against budgeted targets and provisional billing rates, and provide the CEO with actionable insights on rate variances and profitability.
• Supervise a full-time Accounting Manager who handles daily AP/AR and payroll. Perform final month-end review and sign off on financial statements.
• Maintain DCAA-adequate accounting practices and serve as point of contact for government audit activity, ESOP valuation support, and banking compliance.

Specific Duties

• Review and approve monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements.
• Audit labor distributions to ensure proper classification (avoiding mischarges in holiday, PTO, or G&A).
• Architect and update the 13-week cash flow forecast, reconciling it with company-wide budget targets.
• Analyze project-level gross margins (PSR reports) and alert leadership to underperforming contracts.
• Provide technical pricing support for federal cost proposals (RFP/RFQ) on an as-needed, separately scoped basis.

Qualifications

• Deltek Mastery: Expert-level Deltek Costpoint proficiency is mandatory — pools, allocations, and budgeting structures, with minimal ramp.
• Pricing & Cost Volumes: Hands-on experience developing cost/price volumes for federal proposals (RFP/RFQ) — direct labor build-ups, basis-of-estimate (BOE) documentation, indirect and wrap-rate application, and price-to-win analysis — while maintaining cost realism and compliance with solicitation pricing instructions (Section L/M).
• Experience: 10+ years in GovCon accounting, with proven experience submitting the ICS, managing indirect rates, and building corporate budgets integrated with short-term cash forecasting.
• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Accounting/Finance required; CPA or MBA strongly preferred.
• Efficiency: A results-driven “doer” who can translate data into strategy quickly within a limited-hour format.
