Position: Accounting Analyst (Senior)

Background Investigation: Active DoD Secret clearance

About the Role:

Navaide is seeking a qualified Senior Accounting Analyst to support DC P&R/B&E Division under a Financial Management Support Services contract. This is an on-site position based in the Pentagon area (Washington, DC / National Capital Region), and the candidate will occupy Government-provided workspaces at the Pentagon or at Navaide facilities outside the Pentagon. This role fulfills the PWS's Senior Level Financial Analysis key function, applied to USSGL, financial statement interface, Treasury reporting, and audit readiness support. Contractor personnel in this role assist the USMC in the formulation of financial plans, cost estimates, and analysis of financial requirements, with a thorough understanding of the interrelationships between financial management requirements and automated solutions.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

Core Functions

• Ensure transaction-level data is correctly mapped and transmitted per United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL) rules, applying the DoD USSGL Supplement and DAI Accounting Treatment Manual.

• Produce supporting schedules tying financial statement line items to USSGL balances; validate transaction-to-account mappings and identify abnormal postings.

• Resolve GTAS edit check failures and maintain awareness of the Defense Daily Expenditure File (DDEF) interface to ensure DAI-sourced transactions align with Treasury reporting artifacts.

• Assemble audit support packages — source detail, mapping rationale, reconciliation, and narratives — ready in advance of auditor requests.

Financial Management Support

• Support USSGL and financial statement interface work, tracing findings to root cause rather than correcting only at the reporting layer.

• Coordinate year-end close mock testing with DFAS and HQMC P&R stakeholders, interpreting results and providing corrective action feedback.

• Support current-year execution recon, Mid-Year Review preparation, and prior-year/current-year unliquidated obligation (ULO) analysis.

• Track audit findings and Notices of Findings and Recommendations (NFRs), supporting management response development and remediation tracking.

Collaboration & Communication

• Coordinate with the Functional Project Manager, Data Analyst, and DAI Functional Lead on execution reconciliation and audit readiness activities.

• Support DDRS progress reporting, including Quarterly Statements, the SF133 Report on Budget Execution, and the AR(M) 1002.

• Communicate USSGL and audit findings clearly to Government financial management stakeholders and leadership.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years supporting Federal Financial Management, including Department of War (DoW) and Marine Corps financial processes (roles, responsibilities, and processes of major players).

• In-depth functional knowledge and expertise of Oracle modules in Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI) business functions relevant to USSGL, financial statement, and Treasury reporting processes.

• Demonstrated expertise in USSGL compliance, financial statement preparation, or Treasury reporting (e.g., GTAS, DDEF).

• Proven ability to trace and resolve reconciliation issues to root cause and document corrective actions for audit purposes.

• Local candidates required — must reside in the Pentagon / National Capital Region (NCR) area and report on-site at the Pentagon.

• Ability to work independently, effectively manage time and priorities, and demonstrate strong organizational skills in completing assigned tasks.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate technical subject matter effectively and maintain professional telephone, email, and customer interactions.

• Demonstrated leadership and customer service skills, including the ability to direct Contractor personnel and interface professionally with Government representatives and customers, with training and experience appropriate to assigned responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with year-end mock testing, DFAS coordination, or GTAS edit check resolution.

• Experience supporting Marine Corps or DON financial statement audit readiness activities.

• Familiarity with FIAR compliance and IG/GAO audit support in a DoD financial management context.

Education

• Undergraduate degree required in Accounting or relevant major/concentration

• Relevant certification (e.g., CPA or CDFM) required
