Interim Controller

We are currently seeking candidates for an Interim Controller opportunity with a highly successful, innovative technology company located in New York, NY. The Interim Controller will be “hands-on” in managing accounting operations, including AP/AR, GL, month-end close, labor posting, billing and invoicing, and financial reporting responsibilities. Previous experience working in a government contractor environment and using Deltek Costpoint is required. 

This is a 3-6+ month contract opportunity, paying between $70-$85/hour (depending on experience). Qualified candidates will be considered for 100% REMOTE flexibility (must be located in EST). 

Responsibilities:
  • Own accounting operations, month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, labor & timekeeping, and project accounting responsibilities while ensuring compliance. 
  • Manage the monthly close cycle. Prepare, review, and post journal entries (accruals, prepaids, allocations, reclasses, and reversals); maintain the close checklist; and perform trial balance review and account analysis to ensure general ledger accuracy.
  • Prepare and maintain monthly balance sheet reconciliations across cash, AP/AR, payroll liabilities, and accrued expenses; investigate and resolve variances.
  • Manage timekeeping workflows, including timesheet cycles, approvals, and corrections; post labor transactions and support labor distribution; troubleshoot posting errors and partner with project stakeholders to resolve time-charging discrepancies.
  • Support project accounting, including charge structure validation and project setup; track and reconcile unbilled/contract assets; generate customer invoices; assist with AR aging and cash application.
  • Own end-to-end AP processing — coding, approvals, and posting — along with vendor maintenance and documentation controls.
  • Produce and validate recurring reports covering project performance, billing, and unbilled status, and AR/AP aging; document report logic and drive improvements in reliability for leadership use.
  • Identify control gaps, workflow bottlenecks, and process improvement opportunities.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience with substantial hands-on Deltek Costpoint experience.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently execute and manage a full month-end close in Deltek Costpoint.
  • Experience administering Deltek Time & Expense timekeeping workflows.
  • Experience in a government contracting environment with working knowledge of FAR and DCAA requirements.
  • Billing experience on fixed-price contracts, including milestone invoicing and unbilled asset management.
  • Proficiency with Deltek Business Intelligence (BI) reporting.
  • Advanced Excel proficiency (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation and variance analysis).
  • Excellent communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
