  • Coordinate the annual external audit, prepare supporting schedules, and manage documentation requests related to audits, monitoring reviews, and other compliance examinations.
  • Contribute financial insight to the yearly budgeting process and work closely with program leaders and event staff on fiscal planning and questions.
  • Oversee administrative financial obligations such as leases, contracts, insurance-related reviews, workers' compensation audit activity, and records retention for confidential documents.
  • Supervise accounting team members, assign priorities, support skill development, and foster dependable coverage for essential finance tasks.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve efficiency, and introduce process enhancements in collaboration with organizational leadership. Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered in place of formal education.
  • At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, with prior nonprofit accounting experience strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated expertise in month-end close, general ledger management, account reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statement preparation.
  • Working knowledge of nonprofit financial reporting, grant compliance, cost allocation methods, and government funding requirements.
  • Experience supporting external audits and maintaining effective internal controls within an accounting environment.
  • Strong leadership, interpersonal, and organizational skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative management setting.
