Job description

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a AlphaGov) delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, financial and grants-management services, compliance and audit support, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with travel as required for client and field sites. We build ready teams for live pursuits - not speculative staffing banks.

This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.

AlphaGov is seeking a Lead Auditor (GAGAS/Compliance) to lead audit engagements under a multi-year public-sector work-order vehicle supporting a state transportation compliance bureau - including external audits, desk reviews, and investigations, with supervision of staff auditors.

What you'll do:

• Lead GAGAS/GAAS-compliant audit engagements assigned via work orders (external audits, desk reviews, investigations)
• Supervise staff auditors and ensure workpaper and report quality
• Produce GAGAS-compliant audit reports and workpapers to client standards
• Support training and knowledge transfer for client compliance staff
• Contribute lead-auditor qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned

Required:

• Degree in an accounting-related field with a minimum of 27 semester hours in accounting (transcripts/diplomas required)
• Hands-on GAGAS and/or GAAS audit experience
• Familiarity with FAR Part 31, 2 CFR 200, and related grant / overhead audit frameworks (AASHTO Audit Guide and/or 23 CFR 172 a plus)
• Comfortable as a 1099 / project-based collaborator with substantial travel (about 25%+ expected) to Springfield, IL and statewide client facilities

Nice to have:

• CPA
• Transportation-agency or grant-funded-program audit experience
• Prior state DOT / Bureau of Investigations & Compliance-adjacent work
• 2-3 prior GAGAS or compliance-audit engagements you can cite (scope, dates, role)
