  • Support Controller review process

Nonprofit & Government Contractor Accounting

  • Support DCAA-compliant accounting practices where applicable
  • Ensure proper cost allocation and expense tracking
    Nonprofit & Government Contractor Accounting
    • Work directly with clients via email and virtual meetings
    • Respond to client communications in a timely and professional manner
    • Request documentation and follow up as needed
    • Maintain strong client relationships

    Workload Expectations

    • Strong understanding of payroll posting and account mapping

    • Deep understanding of accrual versus cash basis accounting

    • Experience generating and understanding financial statements

    • Experience working with nonprofits and/or government contractors

    • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple clients independently

    • Must be available to work during standard business hours

    Schedule & Availability
