What is part time outsourced accounting?

Part time outsourced accounting is when a business hires an external accounting professional or firm to handle some or all of their accounting tasks on a part-time basis. This arrangement allows companies to access expert financial services without the cost of employing a full-time accountant. Tasks may include bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and financial reporting. Outsourcing can help businesses save money, improve accuracy, and focus on core activities, especially if they do not have enough work or resources to justify a full-time accounting staff.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time outsourced accountant?

To thrive as a Part Time Outsourced Accountant, you need a solid understanding of accounting principles, bookkeeping, and financial reporting, typically supported by a degree in accounting or finance and relevant experience. Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage, and sometimes certifications like CPA or CMA, is highly valuable. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and clear communication are essential soft skills for managing multiple clients and deadlines. These abilities ensure accurate financial management, compliance, and effective client service in a flexible, remote work setting.

How do part time outsourced accounting professionals typically collaborate with client teams and internal colleagues?

Part-time outsourced accountants frequently interact with client teams through scheduled meetings, regular email updates, and shared digital platforms to ensure seamless communication. They often coordinate with internal colleagues, such as account managers or other accountants, to clarify client needs and maintain accuracy in deliverables. While the role offers flexibility, it also requires strong organization skills to manage multiple clients and deadlines. Proactive communication and the use of collaborative tools like cloud-based accounting software help ensure that everyone stays informed and aligned on project goals.

Part Time Outsourced Accounting involves providing comprehensive financial services, including financial statements and tax prep, often remotely and for multiple clients. Bookkeepers focus on recording daily transactions and maintaining accurate ledgers. While both roles support business finances, outsourced accounting offers a broader scope and strategic insights, whereas bookkeeping is more transactional and routine.

Job description

About The Role
We are seeking an experienced GovCon accounting professional who enjoys owning client relationships, solving complex accounting challenges, and working directly with government contractors. This is a hands-on role responsible for managing the full accounting cycle while serving as a trusted accounting advisor to assigned clients.
 
This position requires prior hands-on Government Contracting (GovCon) accounting experience, including indirect rate structures, cost accounting, and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) requirements. Because of the complexity of our client work, this role is not designed as an entry point for candidates new to GovCon accounting.
 
This is a remote, part-time position. Work schedules are flexible but must support client service needs, deadlines, and participation in scheduled client and internal meetings.
 
The ideal candidate enjoys building long-term client relationships, takes ownership of their work, communicates proactively, and is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to complete day-to-day accounting while discussing financial results and advising clients.
 
 
Key Responsibilities
 
Client Ownership & Communication
  • Serve as the primary accounting lead for assigned clients, owning all deliverables, timelines, and communication.
  • Build trusted relationships through responsiveness, accuracy, and proactive support.
  • Lead recurring client meetings to review financials, trends, and upcoming needs.
  • Anticipate issues and provide practical, forward-looking solutions aligned with client goals.
  • Advise GovCon clients on compliance, indirect rate impacts, and contract-driven financial considerations.
  • Communicate clearly on DCAA expectations, contractor responsibilities, and FAR-based accounting implications.
Hands-On Accounting Execution
  • Perform full-cycle accounting, including AP/AR, payroll coordination, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close.
  • Prepare timely, accurate financial statements and supporting schedules.
  • Maintain clean, organized, audit-ready books.
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and FAR, including FAR Part 31 cost principles.
  • Track and report allowable vs. unallowable costs in accordance with FAR.
Reporting, Analysis & Strategic Support
  • Analyze financial results and deliver clear, actionable insights.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning.
  • Assist with audits, requests, and ad hoc reporting.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen controls and improve processes.
  • Prepare and analyze indirect rate structures (overhead, G&A, fringe) and assess impact on profitability.
  • Support DCAA audits, incurred cost submissions, and rate discussions.
  • Assist with contract-level reporting, funding tracking, and compliance-driven analysis.
Internal Collaboration & Workflow Management
  • Coordinate with internal team members while retaining ownership of final deliverables.
  • Review work for accuracy and complete corrections as needed.
  • Contribute to standardized processes, templates, and best practices.
  • Help refine GovCon-specific processes aligned with FAR, DCAA, and contractor expectations.
Deadline & Priority Management
  • Manage assigned client calendars and deliverables, consistently meeting deadlines without prompting.
  • Maintain strong organization and follow-through across all accounts.
  • Track and meet GovCon-specific deadlines, including audits, rate submissions, and contract reporting.
 
Qualifications
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with GovCon accounting, including indirect rate structures, incurred cost submissions (ICS), DCAA audits, and FAR compliance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field.
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle accounting and GovCon accounting responsibilities.
  • Experience in a client-facing, outsourced, or multi-entity environment strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, internal controls, and FAR-based cost accounting.
  • Proficiency with accounting software and cloud-based systems; PROCAS and/or Unanet a plus.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills.
  • Ability to manage assigned clients and competing priorities within a part-time schedule while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness, and professionalism; prior experience managing multiple clients in an outsourced accounting or consulting environment strongly preferred.

This is a remote position.
