    Job Description

    Our client is a fast-growing aerospace and defense manufacturer that has scaled rapidly through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. This is an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment where the accounting function is actively being built out to match the company's growth.

    The company is seeking a Senior Controller / VP of Accounting to own consolidated GAAP accounting across multiple entities and bring deep government accounting expertise to a growing, multi-entity organization. This is a strategic, build-it-out role for someone who wants to shape an accounting function, not simply maintain one.

    What You'll Do

    • Own consolidated GAAP financial reporting across multiple ERP systems, with more entities expected to be added as the company continues to grow through acquisition
    • Apply deep expertise in government cost accounting, including FAR, CAS, and earned value management
    • Oversee preparation of monthly financial statements, including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, along with the monthly banking package
    • Manage general ledger reconciliations and trial balance roll-ups across business units
    • Lead a centralized, shared-services accounting team covering accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and labor accounting
    • Partner with FP&A and pricing leadership to support broader finance operations
    • Help design and scale the accounting organization's structure as the company continues to grow
    • Build and mentor a growing accounting team, including senior accountants and a fixed-asset accountant

    What You Bring

    • 15+ years of aerospace and defense accounting experience
    •  5+ years leading complex accounting teams
    • Deep, hands-on experience with FAR, CAS, and earned value management
    • Experience with multi-entity, multi-ERP consolidation, ideally within a company that has grown through acquisition
    • A track record of building and scaling accounting processes and teams, not just operating within an existing structure
    • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, ambiguous environment
    • Strong GAAP technical knowledge and financial statement preparation experience
