What is the DCAA?

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for auditing Department of Defense (DoD) contracts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and according to regulations. The DCAA reviews financial records, cost proposals, and business systems of companies that do business with the DoD to check for fairness, accuracy, and compliance. Their audits help prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in defense contracting. By providing these services, the DCAA supports government decision-making and contract negotiations.

Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and job expectations in government contracting roles.

What challenges do professionals face in DCAA audit roles, and how can new hires prepare?

Professionals in DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) audit roles often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex government regulations, managing strict deadlines, and communicating findings to both contractors and government stakeholders. New hires can prepare by developing strong analytical skills, familiarizing themselves with FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), and honing their ability to clearly document and explain audit conclusions. Collaboration skills are also essential, as auditors frequently work in teams and interact with various departments to ensure contract compliance.

What skills and qualifications are needed to work as a DCAA auditor?

To thrive as a DCAA Auditor, you need a solid background in accounting or finance, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree and sometimes a CPA or related certification. Familiarity with government auditing standards, cost accounting standards (CAS), and proficiency in audit management software are important technical requirements. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help auditors interpret complex data and collaborate with contractors. These skills ensure compliance, safeguard public funds, and maintain accountability in government contracting.

Client Controller | Government Contracting (GovCon) | Outsourced Accounting

About the Role
We’re seeking a Client Controller to manage the full accounting lifecycle for a portfolio of clients, with a strong focus on Government Contracting (GovCon). This is a hands-on, client-facing role responsible for financial accuracy, reporting, and advisory support.
You’ll own client relationships end-to-end—delivering high-quality financials, ensuring compliance, and providing strategic insight. This role requires prior GovCon experience (FAR, DCAA, indirect rates) and is not designed for entry-level training in this area.
What You’ll Do
Client Leadership & Advisory
  • Serve as the primary accounting lead for multiple clients
  • Build strong relationships through proactive communication and reliable delivery
  • Lead regular meetings to review financials, trends, and planning needs
  • Advise on FAR compliance, indirect rates, and contract financials
  • Guide clients on DCAA expectations and audit readiness
Accounting Execution
  • Own and perform full-cycle accounting (AP/AR, payroll coordination, reconciliations, close)
  • Prepare accurate, timely financial statements and supporting schedules
  • Maintain clean, audit-ready books
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and FAR Part 31
  • Track allowable vs. unallowable costs
Reporting & Analysis
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning
  • Prepare and analyze indirect rate structures (overhead, G&A, fringe)
  • Assist with DCAA audits, incurred cost submissions, and rate reviews
  • Support contract-level reporting, funding tracking, and compliance reporting
Team Collaboration & Process Improvement
  • Collaborate with internal team members while owning final deliverables
  • Review work for accuracy and completeness
  • Contribute to process improvements and standardization
  • Strengthen GovCon-specific workflows aligned with compliance requirements
Deadline Management
  • Manage multiple client timelines and deliverables independently
  • Consistently meet deadlines across all accounts
  • Track and deliver on GovCon-specific deadlines (audits, rate submissions, reporting)

Qualifications
  • Proven experience in GovCon accounting (FAR, DCAA, indirect rates)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience (full cycle required)
  • Background in a client-facing or outsourced accounting environment preferred
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and cost accounting
  • Experience with systems such as PROCAS, Unanet, or similar tools is a plus
  • Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills
  • Ability to manage multiple clients with accuracy and professionalism

Why Join Us?
  • Direct client impact and ownership
  • Exposure to a diverse range of GovCon clients and complex challenges
  • Fully remote work environment
  • Opportunity to build trusted client relationships
  • Collaborative team culture focused on accountability, service, and professional growth

Compensation:
• $85,000 - $110,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. 
If you are a hands-on accounting professional with GovCon expertise who enjoys working directly with clients and taking ownership of results, we encourage you to apply.
