Job Description


Accountant | Tampa Bay, FL | Competitive Compensation + Full Benefits


Join a mission-driven organization in the Tampa Bay area as an Accountant and step into a role where your financial expertise directly supports meaningful community impact. This is a broad, hands-on position that spans the full accounting cycle - from month-end close and reconciliations to budgeting, forecasting, and audit support - giving you real variety and ownership across the finance function. You will work closely with operational and program teams, serving as a trusted financial partner whose analysis and recommendations help leadership make better decisions. The organization manages a diverse portfolio of properties, programs, and grants, meaning the work is substantive and the scope expands your skills in ways a single-entity role simply cannot. Leadership here is collaborative and invested in the team's success, and the environment offers stability alongside a genuine sense of purpose. If you bring a strong GAAP foundation, advanced Excel skills, and the analytical mindset to turn financial data into actionable insight, this is a role worth your attention.


Key Responsibilities

• Manage financial activities across an assigned portfolio of properties, grants, and programs - ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness across all functions.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning efforts in support of organizational and operational goals.
• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports with the clarity and accuracy that leadership depends on.
• Analyze financial trends and provide actionable recommendations to leadership that support informed, strategic decision-making.
• Monitor cash flow, banking activity, and investment positions on an ongoing basis.
• Perform account reconciliations and execute monthly close activities with discipline and attention to detail.
• Support annual audits and regulatory reporting requirements, serving as a reliable point of contact for external reviewers.
• Partner with property management and operational teams to align financial strategy with day-to-day operational realities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Public Administration, or a related field - OR an Associate's degree in Accounting with ten or more years of progressively responsible accounting experience.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it consistently across a multi-program, multi-entity environment.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills - you use it daily and are comfortable with complex data manipulation and analysis.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with a structured, detail-oriented approach to financial work.
• Valid Florida Driver's License and ability to meet applicable insurance requirements.
• Experience with a property management or real estate accounting software platform.

Why you'll love working here

• Work that matters - your financial stewardship directly supports programs and properties that make a tangible difference in the community.
• Broad scope across properties, grants, and programs that keeps the work varied, substantive, and skill-building.
• A collaborative, supportive environment where operational and finance teams work closely together toward shared goals.
• Organizational stability with the sense of purpose that comes from working somewhere with a genuine mission.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package.
