Grant Accountant

Grant Accountant

San Antonio, TX Up to $73,000

If you're an accountant who wants your work to have a direct impact, this is a role worth considering.

We're partnering with a mission-driven organization in San Antonio that is looking to add a Grant Accountant to its team. This position offers a unique combination of accounting, compliance, reporting, and business partnership, with direct involvement in programs funded by federal and state grants.

You'll have ownership of your grant portfolio from billing and collections through reporting and compliance, while working closely with leadership to ensure funding is managed accurately and effectively.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Meaningful work supporting programs that make a difference in the community
• High-visibility role with direct interaction with leadership and program teams
• Ownership of grant accounting from start to finish
• Opportunity to strengthen your expertise in grant compliance, reporting, and audits
• Exposure to multi-entity accounting and intercompany activity
• Stable organization with established processes and long-term funding sources
• Hands-on involvement in month-end and year-end close
• Experience working with systems like Acumatica, Workday, and federal funding platforms
• Role offers both responsibility and autonomy without being stuck behind the scenes

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage billing, invoicing, and collections for federal and state grant programs
• Prepare grant reports, reimbursement requests, and supporting documentation
• Support month-end close, account reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Maintain accurate accounts receivable and general ledger balances
• Assist with audits and provide schedules and documentation as needed
• Track budgets, expenditures, and overall grant performance
• Partner with program leaders and internal stakeholders to support funding and reporting needs

What They're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably within a nonprofit or grant-funded environment
• Experience with federal and state grants, reporting requirements, and compliance standards
• Strong accounts receivable, reconciliations, and general ledger experience
• Ability to manage multiple grants and deadlines simultaneously
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating across departments
