How much do contracting accounting jobs pay per year?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Contracting Accountant, and why are they important?
What is the difference between Contracting Accounting vs Bookkeeping?
| Aspect | Contracting Accounting | Bookkeeping |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Accounting certifications (e.g., CPA, CMA) | Basic accounting or bookkeeping training |
| Work Environment | Freelance or contract basis, often with multiple clients | In-house or small business, routine data entry |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Accounting firms, consulting, freelance | Small businesses, retail, service industries |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Financial reporting, tax prep, consulting | Transaction recording, payroll, invoicing |
Contracting Accounting involves providing specialized financial services on a temporary or freelance basis, often requiring advanced certifications. Bookkeeping focuses on recording daily financial transactions and is typically a more routine role within small businesses. While both roles handle financial data, contracting accountants offer broader financial analysis and compliance services, whereas bookkeepers maintain accurate records for operational purposes.

Within CorpOS lies a suite of digital software solutions aimed at solving the problems for our growth, finance, people teams that interplays heavily with our ArsenalOS solutions that enable Anduril's engineering, production and sustainment departments.
ABOUT THE JOB:
We are seeking a highly skilled technical Cost and Receipt Accounting Systems Analyst with deep Oracle Cloud Fusion supply chain cost accounting experience to join the team. If you are passionate about the many cross-functional integrated processes that are necessary for defense tech to operate at scale and deliver the advantage to our war fighters, then this may be the opportunity for you. In this role, you will be the primary technical architect and administrator for the financial "engine" of our supply chain. You will ensure that every physical movement in our factories translates into accurate financial data. You will own the configuration, troubleshooting, and optimization of Oracle's Cost Management and Receipt Accounting modules, ensuring our digital ledgers reflect real-time operational and financial reality.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- System Configuration & Ownership: Act as the Lead Functional Analyst for Oracle Fusion Cost Management and Receipt Accounting, managing cost books, valuation methods (Actual, Standard, or FIFO), and accounting rules.

- Data Integrity & Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve stuck transactions, costing errors, and interface failures between CorpOS (ERP) and ArsenalOS (Manufacturing/Execution systems/WMS).
- Cost Accounting Optimization: Define and maintain cost elements, overhead allocation rules, and cost components to ensure accurate "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS) reporting and inventory valuation.
- Compliance & Audit Support: Configure systems to meet DCAA and GAAP requirements, ensuring that cost-plus and fixed-price contract accounting is handled with 100% auditability.
- Release Management: Evaluate quarterly Oracle Fusion updates specifically for impact on costing flows, performing regression testing on automated accounting entries before they hit production.
- Process Engineering: Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to ensure that physical receiving workflows trigger the correct technical accounting events in the ERP.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of experience in designing, developing, and implementing Oracle Cloud Fusion solutions at manufacturing companies (Aerospace & Defense industry preferred). DCAA & CPFF contracting experience a plus.
- Manufacturing Financials: Deep understanding of Transactional Accounting, including Receipt Accruals, Landed Cost Management (LCM), and Work-in-Process (WIP) costing. Strong understanding the interplay of sales, supply chain, manufacturing and finance processes between CRM, MES, WMS and ERP, with hands on experience leading development of capabilities in Oracle or SAP
- Technical Proficiency: Ability to write SQL queries to extract data for reconciliation and experience using OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence) for financial reporting.
- A&D Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with government contracting accounting (CAS, FAR, DCAA) and how these requirements translate into ERP system settings.
- Systems Thinker: Ability to map a complex physical supply chain into a digital accounting structure without losing data granularity.
- Communication Skills: Excellent business and technical communication skills, both written and oral, and the ability to convey messages in a persuasive manner and at the appropriate level of detail.
- U.S. Citizen or Greencard Holder status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.
