• Work closely with two other team members to keep department accounting processes moving efficiently
• Communicate directly with team members regarding questions, discrepancies, and needed information
• Manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a busy, fast-paced environment
• Maintain accurate and organized financial records
• 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
