Grant Accountant

$70k - $75k

Creative Financial Staffing

Grant Accountant
$70,000-$75,000
Pittsburgh, PA 15120 | Fully Onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This Grant Accountant role offers the opportunity to join a well-established, community-focused organization in the Pittsburgh area where your work directly supports programs that create meaningful local impact. The organization is committed to improving outcomes through initiatives such as student success programs, curriculum development, and capital improvement projects.


As a Grant Accountant, you will take ownership of federal grant accounting and compliance, ensuring funds are accurately managed and aligned with all regulatory requirements. You will partner closely with finance, grants, and program teams, gaining visibility into how funding directly supports mission-driven initiatives across the organization.


This is an excellent opportunity for a Grant Accountant who values purpose-driven work, thrives in a structured and compliance-focused environment, and is seeking long-term stability with meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities of the Grant Accountant
  • Manage the full lifecycle of federal grant accounting, including budget tracking, reconciliations, journal entries, and compliance reporting
  • Partner with grants, finance, and program teams to ensure proper use, allocation, and documentation of funds
  • Monitor expenditures to ensure alignment with federal and regulatory requirements
  • Support audits by maintaining accurate documentation and preparing required financial reports
  • Assist with capital asset tracking and review financial data for accuracy, completeness, and compliance
Qualifications for the Grant Accountant
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field
  • 3+ years of accounting experience with a focus on grants, government, or fund accounting
  • Strong understanding of compliance and reporting requirements; ERP experience (PeopleSoft preferred)
Who Thrives as the Grant Accountant
The ideal Grant Accountant is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in compliance-driven environments. They take ownership of their work, communicate effectively across teams, and are motivated by contributing to programs with meaningful community impact.
