Lead Accountant
Salary: $65,000-$80,000 depending on experience (not specified - insert if available)
Full-time onsite in New Haven County

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Join a collaborative, mission-driven Finance team supporting a nonprofit serving children and families

  • Strong benefits package - medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and up to 92% employer-covered premium on select plans
  • Employer-contributed 401(k) plan to support your long-term savings
  • Interest-free tuition loans and ongoing support for continuing education and certifications
  • Generous PTO, including vacation, sick, personal days, and paid holidays
  • Opportunity to support audit prep, funder reporting, and Board-level reporting - broad, meaningful exposure
Key Responsibilities for the Lead Accountant:
  • Maintain and reconcile general ledger accounts and support monthly close activities
  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies related to AR, AP, payroll, and other transactions
  • Prepare balance sheet schedules and supporting documentation for account reconciliations
  • Monitor daily cash activity, bank balances, and AP aging
  • Assist with annual audits, funder reporting, and Form 1099 filing
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and Agency financial policies
Qualifications for the Lead Accountant:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
  • 2-7 years of accounting experience preferred; nonprofit experience highly desirable
  • CPA or other relevant certification preferred
  • Experience with general ledger systems (Sage preferred) and strong Excel proficiency
