  • Mission-oriented work that makes a meaningful impact.
  • A collaborative, in-office team environment (4 days/week on-site).

Controller Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (Accounting preferred); CPA strongly preferred.
  • 8+ years of accounting experience, including 3+ years in a leadership or supervisory role.
  • Strong understanding of financial compliance, reporting, and audit practices –public accounting experience is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with UNANET is required.
  • Background in small to mid-sized government contracting (GovCon) environments is highly desirable.
  • Comfortable presenting financials and insights directly to ownership or executive teams.

Controller Responsibilities

  • Lead core accounting functions, including oversight of AP and AR, while mentoring a small internal team.
  • Partner with HR to support payroll processes (currently outsourced).
  • Ensure financial compliance with government contract requirements – SCA experience is a strong plus.
