GaN Corporation, dba Geeks and Nerds, is a technology company built around national security. Since 2004, our teams have designed, built and supported systems for defense customers in software, artificial intelligence, electronic warfare, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and test and evaluation.

About the Role

GaN is hiring a Controller to lead accounting for our federal contracting business. You'll own the close, indirect rates, billing and compliance in Deltek Costpoint, and you'll give leadership the financial picture it needs to price work, manage cash and plan ahead.

The role starts part-time and is planned to grow into a full-time position. It's a strong fit for a hands-on controller who knows government contract accounting well and wants to shape how the function runs, from controls and documentation to the reporting leadership relies on.

What You'll Do

• Close the books each month in Deltek Costpoint, including reconciliations, the general ledger and financial statements.
• Develop and maintain indirect rates, set provisional billing rates and track actual rates throughout the year.
• Prepare the annual incurred cost submission and lead GaN's response to DCAA and DCMA audits.
• Keep accounting, timekeeping and labor-charging practices compliant with DCAA standards and DFARS business system requirements.
• Manage billing on cost-type, time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts, along with receivables and collections.
• Provide pricing support for proposals and task orders, including GSA schedule pricing and reporting.
• Build budgets, cash projections and forecasts that help leadership make decisions.
• Document key accounting processes and controls so they are consistent and audit-ready.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of accounting experience with a federal government contractor, including work as a controller, assistant controller or senior accountant.
• Hands-on experience with Deltek Costpoint.
• Experience developing indirect rates, preparing incurred cost submissions and supporting DCAA audits.
• Working knowledge of FAR Part 31, Cost Accounting Standards and DFARS accounting system requirements.
• Experience billing cost-type, time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts.
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading the accounting function at a federal contractor.
• Experience with GSA schedule pricing and sales reporting.
• Experience supporting a DCAA accounting system review.
• Experience using AI or automation tools to streamline the close and reporting.
• Active CPA license.
