Who We're Looking For

As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced Accounting Manager to help lead our accounting operations, strengthen our financial reporting and internal control environment, and support the unique requirements of operating as a government contractor in a publicly traded environment.

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Accounting Manager who is equally comfortable managing the details of the monthly close and tackling complex accounting and compliance matters.

The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP, meaningful experience within the government contracting industry, and experience working in or supporting a publicly traded company. This person will play a critical role in maintaining accurate financial reporting, strengthening internal controls, supporting SEC reporting requirements, and ensuring compliance with government contracting regulations.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants significant ownership and visibility within a fast-growing aerospace and defense organization.

• Review journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, estimates, and supporting schedules.
