This is an on-site position based in the Pentagon area (Washington, DC / National Capital Region), and the candidate will occupy Government-provided workspaces at the Pentagon or at Navaide facilities outside the Pentagon. This role fulfills the PWS's Senior Level Financial Analysis key function, applied to USSGL, financial statement interface, Treasury reporting, and audit readiness support.

Core Functions

Ensure transaction-level data is correctly mapped and transmitted per United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL) rules, applying the DoD USSGL Supplement and DAI Accounting Treatment Manual.

Resolve GTAS edit check failures and maintain awareness of the Defense Daily Expenditure File (DDEF) interface to ensure DAI-sourced transactions align with Treasury reporting artifacts.

Assemble audit support packages - source detail, mapping rationale, reconciliation, and narratives - ready in advance of auditor requests.

Financial Management Support

Support DDRS progress reporting, including Quarterly Statements, the SF133 Report on Budget Execution, and the AR(M) 1002.

Communicate USSGL and audit findings clearly to Government financial management stakeholders and leadership.

Required Qualifications

10+ years supporting Federal Financial Management, including Department of War (DoW) and Marine Corps financial processes (roles, responsibilities, and processes of major players).

In-depth functional knowledge and expertise of Oracle modules in Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI) business functions relevant to USSGL, financial statement, and Treasury reporting processes.

Demonstrated expertise in USSGL compliance, financial statement preparation, or Treasury reporting (e.g., GTAS, DDEF).

Proven ability to trace and resolve reconciliation issues to root cause and document corrective actions for audit purposes.

Local candidates required - must reside in the Pentagon / National Capital Region (NCR) area and report on-site at the Pentagon.

Ability to work independently, effectively manage time and priorities, and demonstrate strong organizational skills in completing assigned tasks.

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate technical subject matter effectively and maintain professional telephone, email, and customer interactions.

Demonstrated leadership and customer service skills, including the ability to direct Contractor personnel and interface professionally with Government representatives and customers, with training and experience appropriate to assigned responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with year-end mock testing, DFAS coordination, or GTAS edit check resolution.

Experience supporting Marine Corps or DON financial statement audit readiness activities.

Familiarity with FIAR compliance and IG/GAO audit support in a DoD financial management context.
