What You’ll Do

  • Own a portfolio of grants from initial setup through reconciliation, reporting, reimbursement, and closeout.
  • Manage monthly accounting, budget-to-actuals, forecasting, and grant-related journal entries .
  • Monitor spending and proactively identify variances, funding risks, and compliance issues .
  • Ensure grant expenses are accurately recorded, properly supported, and compliant with funding requirements.

  • Get noticed: Gain meaningful visibility across Finance, Operations, and senior leadership.
  • Build your expertise: Deepen your experience across complex government and nonprofit funding.
  • Make an impact: Use your accounting expertise to support programs that genuinely improve lives.
  • You bring nonprofit accounting exposure , whether as a Grant Accountant, an accountant within a nonprofit, or through public accounting with nonprofit clients .
