This is a great opportunity to join a values-driven organization where your accounting expertise will directly support their ability to serve the community.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Senior Accountant will play a key role in full-cycle accounting operations — including general ledger management, restricted/unrestricted fund tracking, grant reporting, audit preparation, and monthly close.

• Track and report on restricted and unrestricted funds; ensure proper allocation and fund release

• Oversee grant budgeting, reporting, and compliance with funder requirements

• Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and monthly financial statements

• Support audit preparation and respond to external auditor requests

• Partner with program and development teams to align budgets, reporting, and donor tracking

• Assist with AP, AR, payroll, and annual budgeting as needed

• Contribute to process improvements and system upgrades (QuickBooks experience a plus)

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or nonprofit coursework a plus)

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years in nonprofit or grant accounting

• Strong understanding of GAAP and fund accounting principles (ASC 958)

• Experience working with auditors and preparing audit documentation

• Proficiency with QuickBooks, MIP, or similar nonprofit accounting systems

• Advanced Excel skills and strong organizational habits

• Comfortable working in a mission-focused, collaborative environment

• Passion for serving the community and supporting a purpose-driven mission

Compensation & Schedule

• Salary: $75,000 – $85,000, depending on experience

• Full-time, 40 hours/week (Monday–Friday)

• 100% On-Site in West Austin — no remote option

• Comprehensive benefits including paid holidays, health insurance, and 401(k) plan

Interested?
Please submit your resume and a brief note highlighting your interest in the role and relevant experience. This is a great opportunity to bring your accounting expertise to a mission that matters.
