Grants Accountant

$62k - $73k

Creative Financial Staffing

Staff Accountant (Grant Accounting Focus)
Atlanta, GA
Hybrid work model after training
Salary Range: $62,000 - $73,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Play a critical role in supporting mission-driven programs that make an impact on the community
  • Own grant accounting processes end-to-end, from setup through reporting and closeout
  • Gain exposure to a diverse mix of government and private funding sources
  • Work closely with program leaders, finance leadership, and external funders
  • Strengthen your nonprofit and compliance expertise (Uniform Guidance, audits, monitoring)
  • Stable, well-defined role with clear responsibilities and structure
  • Opportunity to grow within a collaborative and purpose-focused finance team
  • Potential for hybrid work flexibility
  • Use modern nonprofit accounting tools, including Financial Edge NXT
Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant (Grant Accounting Focus):
  • Manage grant budgets, expenditure tracking, and compliance reporting
  • Prepare grant billings, drawdowns, reimbursements, and receivable tracking
  • Support month-end close through journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
  • Perform balance sheet reconciliations related to grants, receivables, and deferred revenue
  • Prepare grant financial reports and support audits and funder reviews
Qualifications for the Staff Accountant (Grant Accounting Focus):
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 3-5 years of accounting experience, with nonprofit or grant accounting exposure
  • Experience with accounts receivable, month-end close, and reconciliations
  • Working knowledge of grant compliance requirements (federal, state, or private)
  • Strong Excel skills and experience with accounting systems
