• Work closely with three other team members to keep accounting processes moving efficiently
• Collaborate with and support other departments with their fiscal needs and questions
• Manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a busy, fast-paced environment
• Handle sensitive financial and organizational information professionally
What You Bring:
• 3+ years of hands-on accounting experience, including Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Journal Entries
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant accounting experience will be considered
• Strong Accounts Payable experience required
• Strong understanding of general accounting principles and practices
• Nonprofit accounting experience preferred
• Experience working with or understanding contracts preferred
• Sage Intacct experience is a plus, but not required

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned responsibilities
• Comfortable with direct communication and asking questions when information is unclear
• Strong organization and ability to keep up in a fast-paced environment
