A bit about us:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to join a mission-driven organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children, families, and communities.

This position plays an important role within the Finance team, supporting month-end and year-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, grants, audits, compliance, and process improvement.

The ideal candidate is an experienced accounting professional who enjoys working in a collaborative environment and is comfortable navigating a complex organization with multiple entities, funding sources, programs, and revenue streams.

Why join us?

Mission-Driven Work: Your accounting expertise directly supports programs that improve people's lives.
Meaningful Impact: Help ensure critical financial resources are managed responsibly and reach the programs and communities that need them.
Collaborative Environment: Partner with Finance, program leadership, and organizational leaders rather than working in an accounting silo.
Career Development: Gain exposure to nonprofit accounting, grants, audits, budgeting, financial reporting, and multi-entity operations.
Variety: Work across multiple funding sources, entities, programs, and accounting functions.
Leadership Opportunity: Mentor junior accounting professionals and contribute to process improvements.
Stability: Join an established organization with a long history of serving the community.
Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and work-life benefits.
Inclusive Culture: Join an organization committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

  • Support monthly and annual financial close processes, including preparing and recording journal entries for prepaids, allocations, intercompany transactions, accruals, and other accounting activity.
  • Maintain accurate general ledger account reconciliations and supporting documentation.
  • Maintain schedules related to occupancy, right-of-use leases, fixed assets, and other balance sheet accounts.
  • Reconcile bank, investment, and endowment accounts while researching and resolving variances.
  • Ensure financial activity and general ledger balances are accurate, complete, and properly supported.
  • Support pre-award and post-award grant accounting and administration.
  • Maintain organized electronic grant and contract files, funding trackers, and supporting documentation.
  • Assist with preparation and maintenance of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA).

  • Assist with annual operating budget preparation, implementation, monitoring, and analysis.
  • Help maintain the chart of accounts and ensure the ongoing integrity of the general ledger.
  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, accounting policies, procedures, GAAP, FASB standards, and applicable regulations.
  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, systems, reporting, and technology.
  • Participate in special projects and finance initiatives.
  • Cross-train with Finance team members and provide departmental coverage when needed.
What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Previous experience with nonprofit accounting, financial reporting, and financial management.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and FASB accounting standards and their application in a nonprofit environment.
  • Experience working with automated accounting/ERP systems.
  • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) or a similar ERP system is preferred.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills strongly preferred.
  • Experience with budgeting, electronic billing, and data management systems is a plus.
  • Experience managing accounting functions within a complex organization with multiple entities, funding sources, and revenue streams.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Ability to prioritize competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong judgment and ability to work independently with limited supervision.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
