  • Identify data quality issues and provide corrective actions to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.

  • Serve as the point of coordination between technical teams and program offices to ensure data standards, business rules, and reporting needs are met.

  • Prepare and validate submissions of financial assistance award data and transactional reports for federal transparency platforms such as USAspending.gov.

  • Conduct internal quality assurance, reconciliation, and comparative analysis to align financial system data with external reporting databases.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Information Systems, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).

  • Minimum 5 years of experience working with federal financial systems and/or grant reporting.

  • Strong understanding of GAAP, OMB circulars (e.g., A-123, A-133), and DATA Act requirements.

  • Proven experience with federal financial data tools such as TAGGS, FABS, and DABS.

  • Familiarity with federal financial assistance lifecycle management and grant closeout processes.

  • Excellent analytical skills with attention to data integrity, reporting accuracy, and system compliance.

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of working with cross-functional teams and government clients.
