Senior Accountant - Nonprofit

Senior Accountant - Finance Operations

Salary: $70,000 - $90,000 + Bonus

Location: Washington, DC area preferred

Office Situation: Primarily Remote

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is one of those rare accounting opportunities where you can genuinely make an impact instead of just processing transactions all day. A stable, mission-driven nonprofit organization is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to become a key operational partner within a small, collaborative Finance team. If you enjoy variety, ownership, process improvement, systems, and working closely with leadership in a lean environment, this role offers much more exposure than a traditional Senior Accountant position.

Why people are excited about this opportunity:

• Primarily remote work environment
• Stable organization with strong employee tenure
• High visibility role with direct exposure to leadership
• Opportunity to help modernize accounting and finance operations
• Broad operational accounting exposure versus being siloed
• Flexible scheduling options
• Strong benefits package including: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, tuition reimbursement, professional development support
• Collaborative, low-ego environment where employee input is valued
• Opportunity to work on systems/process improvements, not just day-to-day accounting

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage account reconciliations including bank, GL, deferred revenue, investments, payroll/benefits, AP/accruals, and Shopify/eCommerce activity
• Support month-end close, financial reporting, payroll processing, and compliance activities
• Assist with audits, Form 990 preparation, and day-to-day operational accounting
• Help improve accounting processes, procedures, workflows, and documentation
• Support finance modernization initiatives including Sage Intacct implementation, reporting enhancements, and process automation
• Partner cross-functionally with departments across the organization

Qualifications

• 5+ years of accounting experience
• Nonprofit accounting experience
• Strong general ledger and reconciliation experience
• Month-end close experience
• Strong Excel skills
• Experience supporting audits/compliance activities
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being involved, wants visibility, and likes helping organizations improve and evolve rather than sitting in a narrowly defined accounting role.
