Financial Compliance and Reporting Consultant

Are you a high-level accounting expert with a deep understanding of the complexities of public sector finance? Our client is seeking a Financial Compliance and Reporting Consultant to serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and advisor to executive leadership.

This is not a traditional "back-office" role. You will act in a consultative capacity, providing the high-level expertise necessary to ensure financial integrity, risk mitigation, and absolute compliance with governmental standards. Working in a consultative capacity under direction from the DES Deputy Accounting Administrator, this position provides high-level financial and governmental accounting expertise to the Department and programmatic management, the General Accounting Office (GAO), and the Auditor General's Office (AGO). The primary focus of this consultant-type role is to review multiple bank accounts, advise on proper reconciliation procedures and oversight, and establish robust checks and balances for Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) reporting. The role requires deep knowledge of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, standard government accounting manual policies, risk mitigation, and continuous process improvement.
