Salary: $65,000-$80,000 depending on experience (not specified - insert if available)

Employer-contributed 401(k) plan to support your long-term savings
Interest-free tuition loans and ongoing support for continuing education and certifications
Generous PTO, including vacation, sick, personal days, and paid holidays
Opportunity to support audit prep, funder reporting, and Board-level reporting - broad, meaningful exposure

Key Responsibilities for the Lead Accountant:

Maintain and reconcile general ledger accounts and support monthly close activities
Investigate and resolve discrepancies related to AR, AP, payroll, and other transactions
Prepare balance sheet schedules and supporting documentation for account reconciliations
Monitor daily cash activity, bank balances, and AP aging
Assist with annual audits, funder reporting, and Form 1099 filing
Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and Agency financial policies

Qualifications for the Lead Accountant:

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
4+ years of accounting experience preferred; nonprofit experience highly desirable
CPA or other relevant certification preferred
Experience with general ledger systems (Sage preferred) and strong Excel proficiency
