• Manage accounts payable and receivable, record payroll journal entries, and reconcile bank and investment accounts on a monthly basis.
• Lead implementation of expense management tools, payment processing solutions, and automation connecting QuickBooks with payroll (ADP) to streamline reimbursements and reporting.
• Conduct daily reviews of operating balances, manage inter-account transfers, and communicate material changes in cash position to leadership.
• Review and approve payroll submissions, coordinate onboarding/offboarding financials.
• Develop and maintain written financial procedures and internal controls; manage vendor contracts, W-9s, and payment history.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years in accounting or financial management; nonprofit experience preferred
• Working knowledge of GAAP; experience supporting annual audits and 990 filings
• Experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll coordination
• Strong attention to detail, able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously
• Self-motivated with a collaborative, accountable work style

NICE TO HAVE

• CPA license or CPA candidacy
• Experience with Bill.com, Expensify, Stripe, or similar platforms
• Familiarity with ADP, TriNet, or other HR/payroll platforms
• Salesforce or comparable CRM experience
• Knowledge of Hawaiʻi’s nonprofit regulatory environment (DCCA, State Charity Registration, TDI)

WHY THIS ROLE

This is a mission-driven organization where your work directly enables advocacy and community impact across Hawaii. Collaboration, transparency, and a commitment to equity and inclusion define the team’s approach to all its work, including financial management.

*A moving allowance is available for the right candidate relocating to Oahu.*
