Support the accounting work behind SFA’s work with schools

At Success for All Foundation, we partner with schools to improve reading results across the whole school. Our model combines evidence-based literacy curriculum with the schoolwide systems, coaching, tutoring, and support that help strong instruction happen consistently across classrooms.

Behind that work is a finance and accounting team that helps SFA steward resources well and keep daily operations moving. We are looking for a Staff Accountant who is organized, detail-oriented, collaborative, and motivated by work that supports schools, educators, and students.

In this role, you’ll help maintain accurate financial records, support close processes, prepare reconciliations, assist with reporting and audits, and collaborate with colleagues across the organization. This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both precision and purpose: the details matter here because they help us serve schools well.
