Salary Range: $60,000 – $65,000

Why This Staff Accountant Opportunity Stands Out

This Staff Accountant role offers immediate visibility and impact within a mission-driven, high-growth nonprofit organization. The Staff Accountant will work closely with the CFO, Controller, and key department leaders during a critical system migration, playing a hands-on role in strengthening financial accuracy, controls, and processes.

The ideal Staff Accountant thrives in dynamic environments, values precision, and wants their work to directly influence financial reporting and decision-making.

• Serve as a trusted Staff Accountant responsible for timely and accurate reconciliations across bank accounts, general ledger, and sub-ledgers
• Prepare and maintain detailed financial schedules to support month-end close and financial statement preparation
• Ensure documentation integrity and regulatory compliance throughout an active accounting system conversion
• Partner with leadership as a proactive Staff Accountant to identify discrepancies, investigate variances, and recommend process improvements
• Support accounts payable, payroll, and departmental accounting schedules as business needs dictate
• Maintain high standards of accuracy and internal controls while balancing competing priorities during periods of change

Requirements of the Staff Accountant

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience as a Staff Accountant or in a similar accounting role, with strong exposure to GL accounting, reconciliations, and journal entries
• Solid understanding of accounting principles and the ability to apply them in real-world scenarios
• Intermediate Excel proficiency, including pivot tables, lookups, and data analysis
• Proven ability to work independently as a Staff Accountant while communicating clearly with finance leadership and cross-functional partners
• Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and adaptability in evolving accounting environments
