Reporting to the CFO, you'll own core accounting operations including month-end close, general ledger management, accounts payable/receivable, cash reconciliations, and fixed assets. The role involves strengthening internal controls, improving financial reporting quality, and supporting manufacturing and government-contract accounting processes as Seasats grows its operations globally.
Key responsibilities include preparing and reviewing journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statements; overseeing accounting operations and audit support; developing accounting procedures appropriate for a rapidly scaling organization; supporting inventory and cost accounting for production operations; managing government-contract compliance requirements; and participating in ERP implementation and system improvements.

Ideal candidates have experience in defense, aerospace, government contracting, or related industries; have worked in organizations subject to external audits; and have owned or significantly contributed to month-end close processes. You're detail-oriented, can operate effectively in evolving environments, work independently to solve unfamiliar accounting issues, and communicate clearly with executives and cross-functional teams.
Bonus qualifications include CPA certification or candidacy, public accounting background, ERP implementation experience, manufacturing/inventory/cost-accounting expertise, venture-backed or high-growth company experience, and familiarity with FAR, DFARS, DCAA, or government contract accounting compliance.
