Accounting Manager

@Orchard is an SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business with a reputation for delivering exceptional project solutions and staffing services to government agencies. We’re a small but growing government contractor and staffing and recruiting firm. We support federal clients and commercial customers while building a lean, entrepreneurial business. We’re looking for a hands‑on Controller to own our accounting, finance, and compliance functions.

This is not a review‑and‑delegate role. You’ll be the cornerstone of our back office — working directly in Quick Books, Paylocity, and Beebole to process transactions, close the books, manage cash, and ensure compliance with government contracting requirements. You’ll also maintain our profiles in government systems (SAM.gov, IPP, etc.), manage insurance programs, and keep our records audit‑ready.

• Run AP, AR, payroll, and treasury functions directly.
• Own the GL, chart of accounts, and month‑end close.
• Build budgets, forecasts, and indirect rate models.
• Serve as business owner for Quick Books, Paylocity, and Beebole.
• Maintain compliance with DCAA, FAR/DFARS, indirect rates, and contract billing.
• Manage company profiles in SAM.gov, IPP, and other government systems.
• Oversee insurance renewals and risk management.
• Keep all financial, insurance, and compliance records organized, backed up, and audit‑ready.

• Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA/CMA a plus).
• 5‑10 years of hands‑on accounting experience.
• Proficiency in Quick Books, Paylocity, Excel, and a time‑keeping system (Beebole or similar).
• Strong Excel skills – able to build reconciliations and reports outside of Quick Books.
• Comfortable working in a small, entrepreneurial business – you’ll own the work, not just manage it.
• Strong preference: government contracting experience (DCAA, FAR/DFARS, indirect rates, billing).

@Orchard is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
