Senior Accountant - Nonprofit

Senior Accountant – Finance Operations

Salary: $70,000 – $90,000 + Bonus

Location: Washington, DC area preferred

Office Situation: Primarily Remote

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is one of those rare accounting opportunities where you can genuinely make an impact instead of just processing transactions all day. A stable, mission-driven nonprofit organization is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to become a key operational partner within a small, collaborative Finance team. If you enjoy variety, ownership, process improvement, systems, and working closely with leadership in a lean environment, this role offers much more exposure than a traditional Senior Accountant position.

Why people are excited about this opportunity:

• 
  
• Primarily remote work environment
• 
  
• Stable organization with strong employee tenure
• 
  
• High visibility role with direct exposure to leadership
• 
  
• Opportunity to help modernize accounting and finance operations
• 
  
• Broad operational accounting exposure versus being siloed
• 
  
• Flexible scheduling options
• 
  
• Strong benefits package including: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, tuition reimbursement, professional development support
• 
  
• Collaborative, low-ego environment where employee input is valued
• 
  
• Opportunity to work on systems/process improvements, not just day-to-day accounting
• 
  

Key Responsibilities:

• 
  
• Manage account reconciliations including bank, GL, deferred revenue, investments, payroll/benefits, AP/accruals, and Shopify/eCommerce activity
• 
  
• Support month-end close, financial reporting, payroll processing, and compliance activities
• 
  
• Assist with audits, Form 990 preparation, and day-to-day operational accounting
• 
  
• Help improve accounting processes, procedures, workflows, and documentation
• 
  
• Support finance modernization initiatives including Sage Intacct implementation, reporting enhancements, and process automation
• 
  
• Partner cross-functionally with departments across the organization
• 
  

Qualifications:

• 
  
• 5+ years of accounting experience
• 
  
• Nonprofit accounting experience
• 
  
• Strong general ledger and reconciliation experience
• 
  
• Month-end close experience
• 
  
• Strong Excel skills
• 
  
• Experience supporting audits/compliance activities
• 
  
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 
  

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being involved, wants visibility, and likes helping organizations improve and evolve rather than sitting in a narrowly defined accounting role.

If interested, apply ASAP. The team is actively beginning the search process and looking to move quickly for the right person.
