We are looking for people that bring excitement and energy to our organization, are curious and eager to learn, and want to help drive our programs forward.
As Financial Controller, you will own the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of Scout Space's accounting function.

Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and revenue recognition across both government and commercial contracts, ensuring strong, well-controlled processes for every dollar in and out of the business.
Oversee payroll processing and payroll accounting, ensuring accurate and timely pay, tax filings, and benefits administration in coordination with the company's payroll provider.
Coordinate corporate tax compliance, including sales and use tax, state registrations, annual tax filings, 1099 reporting, and other regulatory filings in partnership with external tax advisors.
Prepare accurate financial reporting and supporting schedules for executive leadership, investors, lenders, auditors, the Board, as well as program-related reporting required by government and commercial customers.
Support the annual audit process and coordinate with external auditors, tax preparers, and legal counsel as needed.
Partner with the CFO and finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and financial reporting, ensuring that financial information is clean, reconciled, and reliable.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
5-10 years of progressive accounting experience, including experience owning the close process and financial statement preparation for a growth-stage company.
Experience with government contract accounting, including DCAA compliance and FAR/DFARS cost accounting standards.
Strong knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and audit processes.
Experience managing or transitioning outsourced accounting/bookkeeping functions, with the ability to build and lead an in-house team.

Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Eligible to hold a security clearance.

Experience in aerospace, defense, or other government-contracting technology industries.
