We are looking for an experienced Assistant Controller to help lead accounting operations and support accurate, timely financial management for a leading non-profit organization. This role partners closely with leadership to strengthen reporting, budgeting, compliance, and audit readiness while guiding day-to-day accounting activities. The ideal candidate brings strong nonprofit accounting expertise, a solid command of grant reporting, and the ability to improve processes without sacrificing control or accuracy.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, and support accounting team members by setting expectations, reviewing work quality, and encouraging focused development.

• Coordinate the month-end close process, ensuring financial results are recorded completely and reported on schedule.

• Oversee the general ledger by maintaining proper account organization, reviewing adjustments, and confirming the integrity of financial records.

• Approve journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules, with particular attention to balance sheet accounts, banking activity, fixed assets, inventory, accruals, and restricted funds.

• Contribute to annual budget preparation and consolidation, while assisting departments with budget tracking, variance review, and financial forecasting.

• Monitor grant-related financial activity, prepare required reports, and help ensure compliance with funding terms, cost allocation guidance, and reporting deadlines.

• Support annual audit and tax preparation by organizing schedules, assisting with financial statement support, and responding to auditor requests.

• Identify opportunities to strengthen internal controls, refine accounting procedures, and assist with financial system enhancements or automation efforts.

• Provide coverage for essential accounting functions and contribute to ad hoc financial analyses, special projects, and leadership reporting requests.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline is required.
• CPA and/or CMA designation is strongly preferred.
• At least eight years of progressively responsible accounting experience is required.
• Prior nonprofit accounting experience is required, including work with fund accounting principles.
• Experience leading or supervising accounting staff is required.
• Demonstrated background in grant accounting and reporting is required, with federal funding exposure preferred.
• Hands-on experience supporting independent financial statement audits is required.
• Strong technical knowledge of nonprofit accounting standards, budgeting, financial analysis, NetSuite, and advanced Microsoft Excel is essential.
