What will you do Own the accounting integrity of a 12-month Oracle Projects and Treasury G-Invoicing implementation at the Department of Education — ensuring that project and reimbursable transactions post correctly, reconcile to the General Ledger, and withstand audit scrutiny. You are the accounting authority on the delivery team: you validate the accounting design before configuration is locked, design the reconciliation controls between Oracle Projects, Receivables, the General Ledger, and Treasury G-Invoicing records, and sign off on the financial acceptance of the configured solution through period-close validation at cutover. This role suits a Federal financial management professional who can work concretely at the transaction and control level, not at the advisory level. Responsibilities: • Define and validate the accounting-event matrix for project cost collection, cost distribution, reimbursable agreements, billing, revenue recognition, and General Ledger posting. • Own the crosswalk between project, task, expenditure, agreement, and Treasury account attributes and the Department's account classification code structure; secure General Ledger stakeholder sign-off on accounting design before system integration testing. • Design reconciliation controls and control totals between Oracle Projects, Receivables, the General Ledger, and Treasury G-Invoicing records. • Design and validate period-end and close scenarios, including corrections, reversals, prior-period activity, and retroactive adjustments. • Lead the accounting validation of converted open agreements and orders, including control totals and conversion sign-off. • Define the financial evidence set supporting the major system change compliance process, including segregation-of-duties design in the configured application. • Support user acceptance testing as the accounting authority on transaction outcomes, and support end-user training on reimbursable and project accounting processes. Requirements: • U.S. citizenship (mandatory; no exceptions or waivers). • Bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. • Minimum eight (8) years of experience in federal financial management or accounting. • Minimum one (1) year of experience with Oracle E-Business Suite Federal Financials. • Demonstrated experience with Federal financial management, cost tracking, and applicable financial management requirements and compliance. • Reconciliation, close, or internal-control work you can describe concretely (agency, accounting area, and your own role), rather than general accounting support. • Application note: This is a federal Key Personnel position evaluated on a strict pass/fail basis.
