Senior Staff Accountant
Step into a high-impact senior accounting role where you’ll own key financial processes and partner directly with leadership. This is a great opportunity to take full ownership of AP operations while supporting tuition reimbursement and core accounting functions.



Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Hybrid flexibility with 1–2 remote days per week
• Direct exposure to CFO and senior leadership — high visibility role
• Ownership of full-cycle AP with opportunity to drive process improvements
• Unique exposure to tuition reimbursement programs and employee benefits accounting
• Broad, hands-on role across AP, general ledger, and financial reporting
• Opportunity to play a key role during a departmental transition



Key Responsibilities for the Senior Staff Accountant:
• Manage full-cycle accounts payable, including invoice processing, coding, and payments (ACH/wires)
• Administer and track tuition reimbursement programs, ensuring accuracy and compliance
• Support month-end close, including journal entries and reconciliations
• Maintain general ledger accuracy and support financial reporting
• Assist with billing, receivables tracking, and account inquiries



Qualifications for the Senior Staff Accountant:
• Experience managing full-cycle accounts payable processes
• Experience handling tuition reimbursement programs or related accounting
• Familiarity with Blackbaud or similar accounting systems
• Strong experience with month-end close and reconciliations
