Government Finance Accounting Specialist

I manage a mid-sized state-level program and need an accounting professional who can bring the discipline of private-sector finance into a public-sector environment. A decade or more of hands-on experience guiding commercial organisations through accurate closes, clean audits, and data-driven decision making will translate perfectly to the challenges we face with statutory compliance and stakeholder transparency.

The work begins with a deep dive into our current books: verifying every entry, flagging risks, and mapping gaps against state and federal standards (GASB, GAAP). From there, you will prepare our next full reporting cycle, streamline month-end procedures, and design repeatable workflows so internal staff can maintain momentum after your engagement concludes.

Deliverables
• Diagnostic report outlining findings, risks, and a corrective action plan
• Complete, auditor-ready financial statements for the first reporting period you oversee
• Process documentation and a hand-off checklist that lets our in-house team keep everything on track

To be considered, highlight comparable public-sector or regulatory projects, your professional certification status (CPA or equivalent), and typical turnaround times for closing periods. If your track record shows you can blend commercial efficiency with government compliance, I’m ready to collaborate.
