Advisory to the Business:

  • Partner with Contracts/Supply Chain on flowdowns, subcontract allowability, and documentation supporting reasonableness/price analysis.

Controls, Reporting, & Training:

  • Build a risk-based testing program (labor charging, pool/base integrity, unallowable screening) and maintain dashboards (ICS timeliness, questioned costs, findings cycle time).
  • Develop and deliver training for finance, PMs, approvers, and timekeepers; author FAQs/job aids to embed compliance in day-to-day operations.

Accountable For:

  • Clear written guidance on allowability/allocability and consistent application across programs.
  • On-time, adequate ICS submissions; minimal questioned costs and timely closure of audit findings.
  • Effective collaboration and communication across Finance, Programs, Contracts, HR, and Supply Chain.
  • Confidentiality, professional judgment, and high standards of integrity in all audit and government interactions.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 8+ years US GovCon accounting/compliance experience with direct DCAA audit interface and ICS leadership (or equivalent auditing experience).
  • Expert knowledge of FAR Part 31, FAR 52.216-7, and working familiarity with DFARS and CAS concepts.
  • Experience with provisional/final indirect rate development and ACO negotiations.

Preferred:
