Manage core accounting functions, including fixed assets, property-related accounting, and ongoing oversight of the organization's books

Produce financial statements and other recurring or ad hoc reports for leadership, ensuring information is timely and dependable

Maintain a strong control environment that protects organizational assets and supports proper tracking of revenue, expenses, and program funding

Coordinate audit preparation by assembling schedules, supporting documentation, and reconciliations, while addressing auditor questions and resolving outstanding items promptly

Serve as a financial advisor to program and property stakeholders by translating accounting data into practical guidance for decision-making

Oversee grant-related financial reporting for government, corporate, and foundation funding sources, with attention to compliance and accuracy

Establish and refine accounting procedures, documentation, and standard workflows to improve consistency, efficiency, and scalability across the finance function

Coach and lead the accounting team, fostering accountability, focused growth, and a collaborative service-oriented culture

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a closely related discipline

At least 10 years of progressive accounting experience, including 3 or more years serving as a Controller in a nonprofit organization

Demonstrated expertise in nonprofit grant administration, including compliance and reporting for government, corporate, and foundation funding

Strong background in audit readiness, financial reporting, budgeting support, and oversight of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and general ledger activity

Solid knowledge of U.S. accounting principles and financial reporting standards

Hands-on experience with enterprise accounting platforms; Sage Intacct proficiency is strongly preferred, along with advanced Excel skills

Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present financial information effectively to varied audiences

Ability to work flexible hours when business needs require additional support during critical reporting periods
