General Ledger Accountant

CFS
Chantilly, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/3/2026
Title: General Ledger Accountant

Salary: $100,000 – $125,000 Bonus

Location: Northern VA

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work across multiple clients instead of being tied to one set of books
  • Get exposure to reporting, compliance, and process improvements, not just month-end close
  • Exposure to leadership and decision-makers, work closely with clients and senior team members
  • Career growth path, clear opportunity to expand into senior accounting, advisory, or leadership roles over time
  • Stability you don’t usually see in consulting, long-tenured team (many 10–20 years) and strong client retention
  • Variety in your work, no two clients are the same, which keeps things engaging and builds a stronger skill set
  • Competitive compensation package including:
    • Base salary performance bonus, 401(k) with company match, Health, dental, and PTO
Key Responsibilities

  • Manage month-end and year-end close across multiple client accounts
  • Prepare balance sheet and general ledger reconciliations
  • Produce financial statements (P&L, balance sheet)
  • Support audit processes (internal, external, regulatory)
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and FAR regulations
  • Maintain and improve internal controls and accounting processes
  • Work directly with clients in a consulting / outsourced accounting model

Qualifications

  • 5 years of general ledger / full-cycle accounting experience
  • Experience in a government contracting (GovCon) environment
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and FAR regulations
  • Experience with Deltek Costpoint or similar GovCon systems (Unanet, QuickBooks, etc.)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • S. Citizenship required due to government contracting requirements
  • Preferred (Nice-to-Have): Experience working in an outsourced accounting or multi-client environment
