Who is ACT1 Federal? ACT1 Federal LLC is a 100% employee-owned company. We’ve served the Department of War (DoW) for nearly thirty years. Our core missions include weapon systems engineering, logistics, space domain expertise, global defense and security, business and financial management for security assistance and major defense articles, as well as military training and arctic security. Join us!  

Description: ACT1 Federal is seeking an experienced Senior Financial Analyst to provide budget formulation and execution, financial controls, forecasting, reconciliation, spend planning, variance analysis, and senior financial reporting in support of industrial base and fifth shipyard decisions. 

Responsibilities: 

Budget and Resource Analysis:  

  • Review Navy budget submissions, justification materials, program exhibits, financial plans, execution reports, acquisition schedules, spend plans, congressional actions, and other financial-management information.  
  • Identify potential funding sources for defense industrial base priorities, including underexecution, unobligated balances, revised or declining requirements, schedule delays, contract savings, quantity changes, and prior-year resources.  
  • Compare programmed funding with actual obligations, expenditures, contract activity, milestones, delivery schedules, and updated program assumptions to identify potential excess resources or inaccurate phasing.  
  • Trace funding across appropriations, fiscal years, budget activities, program elements, line items, projects, resource sponsors, systems commands, and program offices.  
  • Assess whether program funding remains required, executable, properly phased, and supported by credible acquisition and obligation schedules.  

Funding Strategy and Fiscal Analysis:  

  • Develop funding alternatives that explain the amount potentially available, appropriation and fiscal year, timing, restrictions, decision authority, approval requirements, program effects, execution risks, and recommended next action.  
  • Evaluate the potential use of Operations and Maintenance, Research Development Test and Evaluation, Procurement, Military Construction, Defense Production Act, Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment, National Defense Stockpile, and other applicable resources or authorities.  
  • Apply purpose, time, and amount principles and identify when a proposed action requires legal, comptroller, acquisition, OSD, or congressional review, notification, reprogramming, transfer authority, or future budget action.  
  • Distinguish temporary execution delays from structural overfunding, changed requirements, or funds unlikely to be obligated within their period of availability.  

PPBE and Senior Leader Support:  

  • Advise DASN DIB leadership on Navy Planning Programming Budgeting and Execution processes, timelines, decision forums, documentation, and organizational responsibilities.  
  • Analyze Program Objective Memorandum, Budget Estimate Submission, President's Budget, congressional adjustments, execution-year developments, unfunded requirements, and proposed industrial base investments.  
  • Prepare funding assessments, budget drills, decision memoranda, issue papers, executive briefings, and multi-year resource strategies for senior Department of the Navy leaders.  
  • Coordinate with ASN Financial Management and Comptroller, OPNAV resource sponsors, systems commands, program executive offices, program managers, OSD organizations, counsel, and other stakeholders.  
  • Present independent findings professionally, including conclusions that differ from program estimates or established funding positions, and document sources, assumptions, limitations, and unresolved questions.  

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 financial management, programming, budgeting, resource allocation, or program execution. 
  • Extensive knowledge of Navy PPBE and the relationships among Navy Secretariat organizations, OPNAV resource sponsors, systems commands, program executive offices, program offices, OSD, and Congress.  
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze Navy budget exhibits, appropriations, program elements, line items, financial plans, execution data, acquisition schedules, obligation plans, and program funding requirements.  
  • Strong working knowledge of federal appropriations law, including purpose, time, and amount limitations, and experience evaluating lawful realignment or reprogramming alternatives.  
  • Ability to determine whether funding is genuinely available, executable, legally appropriate, and supportable before senior Navy and congressional stakeholders.  
  • Experience advising and briefing senior executives, flag or general officers, Senior Executive Service personnel, or comparable decision-makers.  
  • Active Top Secret Clearance required.  

Benefits: 

  • Medical/Dental/Vision Insurance

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
