Washington, DC (Hybrid)
Compensation: $95,000 - $115,000 base salary, commensurate with experience

Overview:
A mission-driven organization with a global footprint is seeking a Grants Accounting Manager to lead its grants accounting function. This position oversees a team of three and plays a critical role in managing the full lifecycle of federal and privately funded programs within a complex, multi-entity environment.
Reporting directly to a highly respected and supportive CFO, this is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on leader who thrives in a collaborative, non-micromanaged environment and is passionate about compliance, process improvement, and team development.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare and review federal and private grant budgets in collaboration with program teams, including international field offices
  • Partner with leadership on organizational budgeting and forecasting initiatives
  • Provide regular variance analysis and financial guidance to program managers
  • Ensure timely and accurate preparation of federal reports (e.g., SF-270, SF-425) and monthly invoicing
  • Manage grant drawdowns and maintain federal revenue schedules
  • Lead compliance efforts related to single audits and federal grant regulations (OMB A-122, A-133, and 2 CFR Part 200)
  • Oversee indirect cost calculations, fringe allocations, and cost share tracking
  • Perform financial reporting and analysis, including budget-to-actuals
  • Support continuous improvement of financial systems and processes
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment between accounting, program, and finance teams
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5+ years of progressive grants accounting experience, including supervisory responsibility
  • Strong expertise in federal grant compliance, including OMB A-122, A-133, and 2 CFR Part 200
  • Experience managing large, complex, multi-million-dollar grants
  • Demonstrated experience with grant budgeting, cost accounting, and financial reporting
  • Prior experience in nonprofit or government-funded environments highly preferred
  • ERP experience preferred (any system; Microsoft Business Central a plus)
  • Proven ability to interact with cross-functional teams and support program operations
