Job Description
My client is a large private equity backed government contractor in search of an accomplished accounting operations/shared services leader to oversee core transactional teams and strengthen performance across payroll, payables, and receivables. This position is suited for someone who combines strong people leadership with a practical approach to improving workflows, reporting, and internal controls. The ideal candidate brings experience supporting government-related customers, navigating integrated finance platforms, and partnering across departments to enhance accuracy, speed, and accountability.
Responsibilities:
- Direct and coach teams responsible for payroll, accounts payable, billing, collections, and cash application, while setting clear goals and reinforcing high standards of execution.
- Monitor day-to-day performance across accounting operations by establishing meaningful metrics, analyzing trends, and preparing reporting that supports leadership decisions.
- Safeguard the quality and timeliness of invoicing, payment processing, and receivables activity through disciplined oversight and adherence to established controls.
- Identify inefficiencies in transaction workflows and implement process enhancements that decrease manual work, shorten turnaround times, and improve consistency.
- Work closely with sales, order operations, and other business partners to strengthen billing inputs, reduce discrepancies, and limit issues that delay collections.
- Support the monthly close process by ensuring subledger activity is complete, exceptions are addressed promptly, and operational records are ready for reconciliation.
- Maintain a strong compliance environment by upholding documentation standards, reinforcing policy alignment, and assisting with audit-related requests.
- Collaborate with accounting, HR, IT, FP&A, and other stakeholders to improve coordination across interconnected processes and drive broader operational effectiveness.
- Take on additional projects and operational priorities as business needs evolve.
