BizFirst is assisting our client
with recruiting a skilled and experienced Financial Analyst / Specialist
(Mid-Level). This position supports the following program: U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), Office of the Secretary (OST), Working Capital Fund
(WCF), Office of Financial Management (OFM) — WCF IT Financial Management, Cost
Model Development, and Systems Integration Support.

Our client is a boutique
consulting firm that employs consultants and professionals with unique skill
sets to support the federal government with strategic execution, financial
process enablement, IT systems, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software
implementation.

What will you do

Run the monthly financial
heartbeat of a federal Working Capital Fund's IT shared-services operation:
billing execution, reconciliation, customer advance management, and
transparency reporting for 11 customer organizations. This is an execution role
with hard monthly deadlines and formal quality standards — billing files by the
3rd business day, advance/drawdown reporting by the 5th, reconciliations by the
10th, G-Invoicing compliance tracking by the 15th — where accuracy is inspected
at 100% and errors mean unbillable rework. The right candidate finds
satisfaction in clean closes, tight reconciliations, and bills that customers
can actually understand.

·         Execute monthly billing: generate billing files
matching system upload specifications with zero formatting exceptions, by the
3rd business day of each month.

·         Reconcile billing outputs to source financial
data (general ledger, obligations, invoices) and service consumption data;
identify, explain, and disposition every variance.

·         Monitor customer advance balances: process
drawdowns, track remaining balances by customer and service category, project
burn, and produce exception reporting for over/under-utilization by the 5th
business day.

·         Support Treasury G-Invoicing compliance:
agreement (GT&C/Order) tracking, transaction monitoring, and monthly
compliance tracking outputs by the 15th.

·         Produce financial impact analyses within five
business days of Government request, with clear, transparent, actionable
financial logic. Respond to customer billing questions and disputes with
accurate financial evidence within three business days.

·         Support month-end close, monthly financial
reconciliation outputs, budgetary-to-proprietary tie-points, and audit support
packages (transaction-level lineage) within three business days of auditor
request. Contribute to billing transparency reports that let customers
decompose charges to services, drivers, quantities, and rates.

·         Security Clearance: Public Trust or the ability
to obtain one; or a higher Security clearance.

·         Candidates whose experience is limited to
advisory, strategic, or conceptual consulting will not meet this program's bar.
The client explicitly requires demonstrated, hands-on implementation experience
— deployed cost models, executed billing cycles, delivered automations, and
operational financial products.

·         Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting,
Business, or a related field.

·         4+ years of experience in federal proprietary
and/or budgetary accounting, billing execution, or G-Invoicing compliance
tracking.

·         Working command of federal financial mechanics:
obligations, expenditures, accruals, advances, receivables, and
reimbursable/intragovernmental transactions.

·         Strong Excel skills and disciplined,
deadline-driven work habits; high accuracy under 100%-inspection quality
standards.

·         Hands-on Delphi (Oracle Federal Financials)
experience, or comparable federal ERP (momentum toward DOT's environment is a
strong plus).

·         Direct G-Invoicing experience (GT&Cs,
Orders, Performance transactions, settlement).

·         Working Capital Fund, revolving fund, or
franchise/shared-services fund experience.

·         Power Query/Power BI familiarity; CGFM or CDFM a
plus.

Benefits:

·         Family Health Care (54% cost covered for the
