Accounting Manager

As an Accounting Manager, you’ll help lead a team of 7–8 accounting professionals and ensure the accurate, on-time delivery of a full suite of bookkeeping and accounting services for a diverse portfolio of nonprofit clients. Reporting to the CFO, you’ll be a behind-the-scenes driver of quality—coaching your team, removing roadblocks, and keeping deliverables consistently accurate and audit-ready. We’re looking for an intrinsically motivated, solutions-oriented leader who values transparency, inclusion, collaboration, and measurable impact—and who’s excited to use their accounting expertise to strengthen the missions of nonprofit organizations.
 

What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

• Lead and develop the team through staff meetings, training workshops, coaching, onboarding support, and coverage planning to keep deliverables on track.
• Own monthly client deliverables by reviewing financial reports/statements prepared by the team to ensure accuracy, consistency, and GAAP compliance.
• Manage audit readiness and compliance by partnering with Quality Assurance, overseeing audit timelines and draft reviews, and ensuring financials are “audit-ready.”
• Drive process improvement and special projects such as grant spend-down tracking, workpaper buildouts, discrepancy investigation, chart of accounts updates, and cash-to-accrual conversions.

What you’ll bring (Requirements)

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or related field) with 3–5 years in full-cycle accounting and/or public accounting (audit or outsourced accounting).
• Strong technical accounting skills with excellent critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to produce client-ready work confidently.
• Software proficiency including advanced Excel skills and comfort working in accounting systems/financial reporting tools.
• Nice-to-haves: nonprofit accounting experience, people management experience, and/or an active CPA (preferred).

Salary: $95,000-$105,000/year
