Staff Accountant

Salary: $60,000–$65,000
Location: Sanford, FL | Fully Onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This Staff Accountant opportunity offers the chance to join one of the Orlando area’s most established and community‑focused organizations. The organization provides a collaborative, mission‑driven environment where the Staff Accountant plays a visible role in supporting programs that directly benefit the community.

As a Staff Accountant, you’ll work closely with grant, finance, and operational leaders while gaining exposure to federal grant accounting, capital asset oversight, and compliance‑driven financial reporting. The role supports high‑impact initiatives such as student success programs, curriculum development, equipment funding, and long‑term capital improvements—giving the Staff Accountant meaningful ownership and purpose.

This opportunity is ideal for a Staff Accountant who values accountability, accuracy, and partnership and seeks long‑term stability, visibility, and growth within a well‑structured organization.

Key Responsibilities of the Staff Accountant

• Manage federal grant accounting activities, including contract review, reconciliations, journal entries, purchase orders, budget transfers, and compliance reporting as the Staff Accountant
• Partner with financial aid and grant teams to ensure expenditures and reporting align with federal and regulatory guidelines as the Staff Accountant
• Oversee capital asset accounting, including construction‑related assets, reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting documentation as the Staff Accountant
• Review and approve financial entries for accuracy, completeness, and compliance as the Staff Accountant
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders on audits, reporting requirements, and cross‑functional communication as the Staff Accountant

Qualifications for the Staff Accountant

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required
• 2–4 years of grants or government accounting experience; higher‑education environment strongly preferred
• Experience with capital asset accounting and PeopleSoft; prior supervisory experience overseeing multiple staff members required

Who Thrives as the Staff Accountant

The ideal Staff Accountant is detail‑oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working in a compliance‑driven environment. This Staff Accountant enjoys cross‑functional partnerships, takes ownership of complex processes, and wants to contribute to meaningful, community‑impacting programs.
