  • 2–4 years of progressive accounting experience.
  • Working knowledge of GAAP, general ledger accounting, journal entries, and account reconciliations.
  • Nonprofit accounting experience preferred, including familiarity with fund accounting, grants, or restricted funds.
  • NetSuite experience is a huge plus.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other accounting systems.
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
