Government contracting finance runs on indirect rates, DCAA outcomes, and FAR/CAS depth that generalist finance leaders simply don’t have. We place GovCon CFOs and controllers who have owned all three.
Based in the DC metro, Gratus sits in the middle of the government-contracting talent market. We run finance leadership searches for contractors from $25M single-agency shops to $1B+ multi-IDIQ platforms — screening for the things that actually differentiate: wrap-rate ownership, audit history, Costpoint/Unanet fluency, clearance posture, and recompete experience.
Benchmark this market with the comp tool or the 2026 salary guide before you calibrate the offer.
Every profile here is a vetted, anonymized executive we have interviewed and referenced ourselves. Identities stay confidential — introductions happen through a conversation with our team, on the candidate's terms.
"We don't sell resumes. Every introduction starts with a conversation about your search."
