Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant

Salary: $70,000–$75,000 Location: Sanford, FL | Fully Onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This Senior Accountant opportunity offers the chance to join one of the Orlando area's most established and community-focused organizations. The organization provides a collaborative, mission-driven environment where the Senior Accountant plays a visible role in supporting programs that directly benefit the community.

As a Staff Accountant, you'll work closely with grant, finance, and operational leaders while gaining exposure to federal grant accounting, capital asset oversight, and compliance-driven financial reporting. The role supports high-impact initiatives such as student success programs, curriculum development, equipment funding, and long-term capital improvements—giving the Senior Accountant meaningful ownership and purpose.

This opportunity is ideal for a Senior Accountant who values accountability, accuracy, and partnership and seeks long-term stability, visibility, and growth within a well-structured organization.
