We were early to the fight against Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance, and we’ve been pushing the edge ever since.

Our mission is to help government and enterprise organizations understand and manage commercial data risks, shape their digital signatures, and operate with confidence in an increasingly complex information landscape. We build and integrate advanced, tech-forward solutions to problems our customers often don’t know they have – until it matters most.

We move fast, think critically, and deliver where it counts.

What’s in it for you?

We work hard and do fun things.

You’ll work on high-impact, technically challenging problems alongside a team that values teamwork over competition. Veilant offers a solid work-life balance and flexible remote work options.

• Recommend practical process improvements that increase the efficiency and scalability of the accounting team 

What You’ll Accomplish in Your First Six Months

• Develop a strong understanding of Veilant’s accounting policies, procedures, systems, and monthly close process 

• Build productive working relationships with Accounting, FP&A, and other key stakeholders
