Job Title: Director of Accounting
Location: Hybrid (3 days/week in office – Arlington, VA)
Reports To: Executive Leadership
Job Type: Full-Time
A2 Labs, LLC is seeking a highly capable Director of Accounting to lead and evolve our
accounting function within a government contracting (GovCon) environment that is increasingly
supporting early-stage commercial product development and commercialization. This role is
ideal for an experienced accounting leader who is strategic yet hands-on, brings strong judgment
and critical thinking, and thrives in a fast-moving, growing organization.
The Director of Accounting will oversee day-to-day accounting operations while also playing a
central role in financial forecasting, planning, and forward-looking analysis across both
government-funded programs and emerging commercial activities. This position is not a CFO
role, but it is a senior leadership role that requires ownership, initiative, and the ability to
translate financial data into meaningful insights that support executive decision-making—
particularly as products transition from R&D into early revenue-generating offerings.
The ideal candidate has deep experience with Deltek Costpoint, strong GovCon knowledge, and
the ability to operate effectively where financial structures, commercial models, and processes
are still evolving.
Key Responsibilities:
Accounting Leadership & Operations
• Lead and oversee the company’s accounting operations, including general ledger,
AP/AR, project accounting, payroll coordination, and month-end and year-end close
• Ensure timely, accurate, and compliant financial reporting in accordance with U.S.
GAAP and FAR/DFARS requirements
• Maintain ownership of balance sheet integrity, including reconciliations, accruals,
intercompany accounts, and indirect rate structures
• Establish, document, and continuously improve accounting policies, procedures, and
internal controls as the organization scales
• Provide mentorship and oversight to accounting staff and external accounting support as
applicable

,Forecasting, Planning & Analysis (Critical Focus Area)
• Develop and maintain rolling financial forecasts, cash flow projections, and scenario
models reflecting both government program activity and evolving commercial revenue
streams
• Partner with executive leadership to translate program execution plans, hiring projections,
and business development pipelines into actionable financial forecasts
• Perform variance analysis against forecasts and budgets, identify trends, and proactively
surface risks and opportunities
• Apply strong critical thinking and judgment in ambiguous or fast-changing situations,
recommending solutions rather than simply reporting issues
Commercial & Product-Focused Financial Support
• Support financial modeling and forecasting for early-stage commercial products,
including pricing assumptions, unit economics, cost structures, and scalability
considerations
• Partner with leadership to evaluate financial implications of commercialization decisions,
such as pilots, phased launches, and hybrid government/commercial revenue models
• Help define appropriate accounting treatment, financial tracking, and reporting as
products move from R&D into early commercialization
• Bring structure and clarity to commercial financial processes that are still forming,
balancing practicality, compliance, and long-term scalability
GovCon & Compliance
• Oversee government contracting accounting compliance, including indirect rate
management, allowable and unallowable cost tracking, and timekeeping compliance
• Support audits, reviews, and government inquiries, ensuring audit-ready documentation
and clear financial narratives
• Assist with incurred cost submissions, provisional billing rates, and project-level
financial reporting as needed

,Cross-Functional Leadership
• Serve as a financial partner to contracts, operations, HR, engineering, and business
development teams
• Communicate complex financial concepts clearly and effectively to non-financial
stakeholders
• Support leadership with thoughtful, data-driven insights that inform operational and
strategic decisions
Required Qualifications:

clearance (Secret or higher).

responsibility
• Significant experience in government contracting (GovCon) accounting
• Strong, hands-on experience with Deltek Costpoint (required)
• Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP, FAR/DFARS, indirect rates, and project-based
accounting
• Demonstrated experience with financial forecasting, cash flow planning, and analytical
modeling
• Experience supporting or analyzing commercial business models, including early product
revenue, pilots, pricing analysis, or mixed government/commercial environments
• Proven ability to think critically, exercise sound judgment, and operate effectively in a
dynamic, evolving environment
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (financial models, pivot tables, complex
formulas)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
