About this Role:

We are seeking a Senior Accounting Manager to join our growing organization as an integral component of the core accounting team. This is a builder's role; the right candidate will help shape our processes and workflows, consistently looking for efficiencies and scalability to improve the accuracy and timeliness of our financial results. The candidate should have experience developing FAR-compliant overhead rates, managing portions of the monthly financial statement close, reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations, and supervising staff with a mentorship mentality.

Key Responsibilities:

Close, reporting & leadership

• Ensure accurate and timely month-end close for all owned areas, including accruals, reconciliations, and flux analysis.
• Support external audit and lender reporting requirements.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed accounting team; set performance expectations and build bench strength for a growing organization.

FAR & indirect cost rates

• Develop, support, and maintain FAR-compliant indirect cost (overhead) rate schedules, including field, home-office, and combined rate calculations used for government and public-agency contracts.
• Apply FAR Part 31 cost principles to segregate allowable, unallowable, and directly-associated costs, and maintain documentation to withstand external and agency (e.g., DCAA-style / state DOT) audit scrutiny.
• Prepare and support annual incurred cost submissions and overhead rate audits, coordinating with external auditors and cognizant agencies.
• Partner with project accounting and pricing teams to ensure indirect rates are applied consistently across billing, forecasting, and proposal pricing.

Accounts payable

• Own the end-to-end payables process across all entities: invoice intake, coding, three-way match, approval routing, payment runs, and month-end accruals.
• Establish and enforce AP policies, approval matrices, and segregation-of-duties controls appropriate to a public-company-ready control environment.
• Manage payment timing to optimize cash, capture early-pay discounts, and maintain vendor relationships.
• Oversee the 1099 process and coordinate with tax on withholding and reporting.

Vendor management

• Own vendor master data governance: onboarding, W-9 / TIN collection and matching, banking validation, and periodic cleansing to prevent duplicates and fraud exposure.
• Implement vendor onboarding controls, including sanctions / OFAC screening and beneficial-ownership documentation where applicable.
• Serve as the escalation point for vendor disputes, aging, and reconciliation issues.

Corporate card & T&E

• Administer the corporate credit card program end to end: issuance, limits, policy, spend monitoring, and monthly reconciliation.
• Own the travel and expense (T&E) policy and platform, driving compliance, timely substantiation, and clean GL coding.
• Identify and remediate policy leakage, unusual spend patterns, and control gaps.

Process improvement & systems

• Assess current accounting processes and workflows, identify inefficiencies and control weaknesses, and design and implement scalable, automated solutions.
• Drive automation and standardization within the ERP (Deltek Vantagepoint or comparable), including AP automation, OCR / invoice capture, and approval-workflow configuration.
• Document standard operating procedures and build the process infrastructure needed to support continued growth without proportional headcount increases.

M&A integration

• Integrate acquired entities into the payables, vendor, and card functions — mapping legacy vendors, aligning to the standardized chart of accounts, and migrating open payables and controls.
• Partner with the M&A and integration teams to stand up day-one and steady-state AP operations for newly acquired businesses.
• Support purchase-accounting and opening-balance-sheet work as it relates to payables and accrued liabilities.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including team leadership, preferably in the AEC or professional services industry.
• Demonstrated FAR overhead / indirect cost rate experience, including FAR Part 31 allowability analysis and audit support.
• Proven ownership of the full-cycle accounts payable, vendor management, and corporate card / T&E functions.
• Track record of designing and implementing process and workflow improvements that scaled with business growth.
• Excellent internal-control judgment and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-change environment.
• Strong ERP proficiency and advanced Excel skills. Preference for multi-entity, multi-currency, and global consolidation exposure within ERP system.
• Familiarity with AP automation tooling and expense-management platforms, preferred
• Experience with Deltek Vantagepoint strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; CPA or equivalent certification preferred.
• Bilingual — English and Spanish, preferred
• Proficiency in Primavera P6, Schedule Analyzer Pro, or Acumen

What’s In It For You:

• Comprehensive core benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Company-paid life and disability insurance.
• A wide range of voluntary benefits, including pet insurance, pre-paid legal, hospitalization, critical illness, and accident insurance.
• 401(k) with day-one eligibility, featuring a 3% safe harbor contribution plus company match.
• Generous time off: 10 paid holidays and a PTO plan.
• Full access to Consertus Academy, our corporate university with 3,000+ on-demand courses, and eligibility for our cohort-based Leadership Program.
• A technology-first culture that empowers remote and hybrid work without compromising connection or performance.
