Salary Range – $70,000 - $90,000 (depending on experience)

• Handle compliance filings (payroll, sales, nonprofit, etc.).

Client & Team Collaboration

• Work directly with clients' leadership and program staff to set up efficient finance systems.
• Support the financial reporting process for audits and board meetings.
• Train and guide junior team members—share the “why” behind the numbers.
• Coordinate with payroll providers and vendors as needed.

Growth & Leadership

• Spot opportunities to improve client operations or expand services.
• Be a finance lead on internal cross-functional teams (tech, DEI, social, etc.).
• Support special projects, rollouts, and continuous learning across the team.

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or Business.
• 3+ years of experience (bonus if in a public accounting or nonprofit setting).
• Advanced QuickBooks and Excel skills.
• Familiar with budgeting, compliance, grant reporting, and audits.
