We are currently seeking a Accounting Manager who will play a critical role in ensuring the financial health and stability of the organization.

  • Perform daily reconciliations of bank balances and prepare a cash position scorecard for the CFO
  • Manage all aspects of cash receipts, ensuring alignment with donor databases and agency accounting systems
  • Ensure accurate, timely processing of vendor invoices and payments
  • Maintain up-to-date records for vendor compliance, including W-9s and insurance certificates
  • Coordinate with billing staff to reconcile incoming payments with client billings
  • Review the Accounts Receivable Aging report and support accurate payment posting
  • Collaborate with Payroll and Benefits Coordinator to ensure timely payroll funding
  • Prepare journal entries and assist with general ledger maintenance
  • Reconcile monthly expense accrual accounts and ensure accurate reporting
  • File required monthly, quarterly, and annual reports with government agencies
  • Assist with preparation for annual audits and 990 tax filings
  • Cross-train with accounting colleagues and provide coverage during absences
  • Serve as a resource and knowledge base for day-to-day accounting functions
  • Participate in special projects and continuous improvement efforts within the Finance Department

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
  • 3–4 years of relevant accounting experience (non-profit sector strongly preferred)
  • Knowledge of non-profit accounting standards, including ASC 958 and ASC 606
  • CPA designation preferred, but not required
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office 365, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Concur is a plus
  • Excellent analytical skills and high attention to detail
  • Strong organizational and time management abilities
  • A customer service mindset and the ability to communicate clearly with donors, vendors, and internal teams
  • A collaborative spirit and a desire to support a team working toward a greater cause

Working Environment:
This role is based in an office setting, with standard weekday hours and occasional evening or weekend needs. You should be comfortable sitting or standing for extended periods and able to occasionally lift up to 35 pounds.
