- Contribute to annual budgeting and fiscal planning efforts by developing forecasts, analyzing trends, and supporting budget preparation.
- Provide oversight for payroll processes when needed, helping ensure proper controls and accurate processing.
- Strengthen accounting procedures and workflow management across recurring monthly, quarterly, and annual tasks, including coordination across financial systems and operational tracking tools.
- Support a smooth handoff to a long-term team member by documenting processes and assisting with knowledge transfer and onboarding as needed. Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a closely related field.
- Demonstrated experience in nonprofit accounting, including direct work with fund accounting principles.
- Strong background in month-end close, financial statement preparation, and reporting for executive leadership or governing boards.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills with the ability to analyze, organize, and reconcile complex financial data.
- Knowledge of restricted funds, endowment accounting, and donation-related transactions such as in-kind or contributed assets.
- Ability to work independently in an interim, part-time capacity while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines in a hybrid environment.
- Familiarity with Blackbaud Financial Edge is preferred.
- Additional experience with payroll oversight or capital campaign accounting is valued.
