Summary: Our client is seeking an experienced accounting professional to provide hands-on support across a variety of accounting functions during a critical transition period.

  • Support month-end close activities, including account analysis and reconciliation work
  • Perform balance sheet and general ledger reconciliations, identifying and resolving discrepancies as needed
  • Contribute to both accounts payable and accounts receivable processes, helping balance workload across the finance team
  • Provide general accounting assistance and step into areas requiring additional support as priorities evolve
  • Investigate accounting issues, troubleshoot discrepancies, and recommend practical solutions
  • Maintain accurate financial records and ensure compliance with established internal procedures
  • Learn new processes and systems quickly while working with a high degree of independence

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a Senior Accountant or similar role
  • Hands-on experience supporting a combination of: General Ledger accounting; Journal entries; Reconciliations; Accounts Payable; Accounts Receivable
  • Strong understanding of general accounting principles and month-end close procedures
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including data analysis and reporting functions
  • Strong problem-solving, organizational, and analytical skills
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment where priorities may shift
  • Proven ability to work independently and take ownership of responsibilities with minimal oversight
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience supporting ERP implementations, financial system upgrades, or process improvement initiatives
  • Experience stepping into transitional or project-based accounting assignments
  • Background within a nonprofit or mission-driven organization
  • Familiarity with large accounting platforms and integrated ERP systems

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
