Senior Grants Accounting Specialist


Salary
$95,000 – $100,000 + full benefits package

Location:
Downtown Manhattan, hybrid


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is more than a traditional accounting role—it’s an opportunity to directly support programs that provide critical services like housing, food access, and community support to hundreds of thousands of individuals each year.


You’ll join a highly respected, mission-driven organization with a strong reputation for stability, impact, and employee retention. The finance team is collaborative, supportive, and closely connected to leadership, giving you real visibility into how funding drives meaningful outcomes.


What makes this role especially compelling:



  • Hybrid schedule with built-in flexibility (3 days onsite, 2 days remote)

  • Strong PTO package plus paid holidays

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

  • Retirement plan with employer contribution

  • Work closely with leadership on grants, budgets, and funding strategy

  • Opportunity to expand your experience with government and foundation funding

  • Mission-driven, family culture environment where your work has purpose and visibility


If you’re looking to combine your accounting skills with meaningful impact and long-term career growth, this role offers both.


Key Responsibilities of Grant Accountant:



  • Manage financial reporting and billing for a portfolio of grants and contracts

  • NYS / NYC funding agencies experience- OCFS / OTDS/ OTDA / SOFA/ DYCD, etc

  • Prepare and submit invoices and financial reports to government and private funders

  • Ensure compliance with funding requirements and support audit processes

  • Collaborate with internal teams and respond to funder-related inquiries

  • Support financial analysis, reporting, and contract database management


Qualifications of Grant Accountant:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Business

  • 2–3 years of experience in grant accounting or working with funded programs

  • Strong Excel skills including VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and data analysis
