Join us!

Description: ACT1 Federal is seeking an experienced Senior Financial Analyst to provide senior-level financial-management, budget-planning, budget-execution, resource-analysis, audit-readiness, and executive decision-support services to the Director of Operations, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for the Defense Industrial Base (DASN (DIB)). The analyst supports Department of the Navy (DON) financial-management requirements across the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process.

This position requires a principal-level subject matter expert with demonstrated experience in Department of War, DON, or comparable Federal financial management, budget formulation, budget execution, appropriations analysis, resource management, fiscal policy, and audit readiness. The analyst shall be capable of independently analyzing complex financial data; developing accurate budget and execution products; identifying funding, availability, obligation, and execution risks; and communicating financial realities, assumptions, and tradeoffs to senior civilian and military decision-makers.

Responsibilities:

Budget and Resource Analysis:

  • Provide financial-analysis, budget-planning, budget-execution, resource-management, audit-readiness, and executive decision-support services to DASN (DIB) Government resource-management officials.
  • Develop draft budget requirements, issue papers, budget exhibits, justification materials, Program Objective Memorandum inputs, program-review inputs, unfunded-requirements analyses, and other budget-submission products for Government review, approval, and presentation.
  • Develop draft spend plans, obligation plans, execution forecasts, funding plans, cash-flow analyses, execution-review materials, and variance analyses for Government approval and execution.
  • Analyze Government-provided financial data across designated appropriations, including operation and maintenance, research and development, procurement, and other applicable funding categories.
  • Monitor commitments, obligations, expenditures, obligation rates, execution forecasts, funding availability, obligation milestones, periods of availability, expiring funds, and financial variances using Government-provided financial systems and data sources.
  • Prepare financial risk summaries, execution-status reports, obligation and expenditure analyses, funding-availability assessments, and recommended follow-up actions for Government review.
  • Perform analytical reconciliation support using Government-provided data; identify discrepancies, anomalies, missing information, and potential data-quality issues for Government validation and resolution in official financial systems.
  • Prepare draft funding-document support packages, execution documentation, financial data-call responses, reprogramming analyses, coordination materials, and related financial-management products for Government review, approval, and submission.
  • Support development of midyear, end-of-year, monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc execution reviews; prepare status briefings, dashboards, issue papers, and executive decision materials.
  • Analyze the effect of funding availability, obligation rates, budget decisions, execution performance, schedule changes, acquisition milestones, and programmatic changes on DASN (DIB) priorities and industrial-base initiatives.
  • Support audit-readiness activities by organizing supporting documentation, conducting data analysis, reconciling information, documenting processes, identifying potential audit risks, and preparing draft responses to Government-directed audit-related taskers.
  • Develop technical memoranda, financial analyses, executive briefings, data visualizations, decision packages, and status reports for senior civilian, military, acquisition, financial-management, and interagency stakeholders.
  • Coordinate draft financial products and supporting information with DASN (DIB) directorates, ASN (RD&A) offices, DON acquisition organizations, comptroller organizations, Department of War stakeholders, and other Government-approved points of contact, as directed by the Government.
  • Support time-sensitive budget, execution, audit, financial data-call, executive, and industrial-base requirements.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in finance, statistics, mathematics, economics, operations research, accounting, computer science, business analytics, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • 10 years’ experience in Department of War, Department of the Navy, or comparable Federal financial management, budget formulation, PPBE, budget execution, appropriations analysis, audit readiness, resource management, comptroller operations, or related fields.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting senior-level Department of War, DON, military department, major command, program executive office, comptroller, or comparable Federal financial-management environments.
  • Demonstrated experience developing budget requirements, Program Objective Memorandum inputs, program-review materials, budget exhibits, justification books, unfunded-requirements analyses, spend plans, execution reviews, and senior-leader decision products.
  • Demonstrated experience analyzing operation and maintenance, research and development, procurement, or comparable appropriations; commitments; obligations; expenditures; execution forecasts; funding availability; periods of availability; and financial variances.
  • Demonstrated experience with Navy Enterprise Resource Planning, Program Budget Information System, or comparable Federal financial-management, accounting, budget-submission, or resource-management systems.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of appropriations law, fiscal policy, financial-control requirements, budget execution, audit-readiness practices, and Federal financial-management processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop accurate, concise, executive-level financial analyses and explain complex resource, budget, execution, and funding issues to senior civilian and military decision-makers.
  • The position may require support outside normal business hours to meet time-sensitive budget, execution, audit, financial data-call, executive, and industrial-base requirements.
  • Current Top Secret. Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility required.
