JTG, Inc. is seeking a seasoned Part-Time Controller to provide strategic financial oversight for our 100% employee-owned (ESOP) federal contracting firm. This is a high-level role for a financial professional with deep Deltek Costpoint expertise who thrives on technical accuracy and government-contract compliance. You will oversee the accounting function, manage our indirect rate structure, and keep our accounting practices DCAA-adequate — all on a flexible, part-time schedule.
Key Responsibilities:
Deltek Costpoint Integrity:
Maintain the integrity of our Deltek Costpoint system, including high-level configuration of projects and cost pools.
Budgeting & Cash Forecasting:
Lead creation, maintenance, and management of the company-wide annual budget, and integrate it with our 13-week cash flow forecast to align corporate goals with real-time liquidity.
ICS Ownership:
Personally manage the annual Incurred Cost Submission. Using existing templates, extract data, populate the ICE model, and defend the submission in the event of audit.
Indirect Rate Management:
Perform monthly true-ups of Fringe, Overhead, and G&A against budgeted targets and provisional billing rates, and provide the CEO with actionable insights on rate variances and profitability.
Oversight & Review:
Supervise a full-time Accounting Manager who handles daily AP/AR and payroll. Perform final month-end review and sign off on financial statements.
Compliance Lead:
Maintain DCAA-adequate accounting practices and serve as point of contact for government audit activity, ESOP valuation support, and banking compliance. Specific Duties
- Review and approve monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements.
- Architect and update the 13-week cash flow forecast, reconciling it with company-wide budget targets.
- Audit labor distributions to ensure proper classification (avoiding mischarges in holiday, PTO, or G&A).
- Analyze project-level gross margins (PSR reports) and alert leadership to underperforming contracts.
- Provide technical pricing support for federal cost proposals (RFP/RFQ) on an as-needed, separately scoped basis.
Qualifications:
Deltek Mastery:
Expert-level Deltek Costpoint proficiency is mandatory — pools, allocations, and budgeting structures, with minimal ramp.
Pricing & Cost Volumes:
Hands-on experience developing cost/price volumes for federal proposals (RFP/RFQ) — direct labor build-ups, basis-of-estimate (BOE) documentation, indirect and wrap-rate application, and price-to-win analysis — while maintaining cost realism and compliance with solicitation pricing instructions (Section L/M).
Experience:
10+ years in GovCon accounting, with proven experience submitting the ICS, managing indirect rates, and building corporate budgets integrated with short-term cash forecasting.
Education:
Bachelor's Degree in Accounting/Finance required; CPA or MBA strongly preferred.
Efficiency:
A results-driven "doer" who can translate data into strategy quickly within a limited-hour format.
