Staff Accountant

We are looking for a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to support a growing finance function. This contract opportunity has the potential to become permanent and begins with a part-time schedule during onboarding and training, with the expectation of increasing to a 30 to 35 hour workweek as responsibilities expand. The position offers a blend of day-to-day accounting operations, payroll support, reconciliations, and reporting, making it well suited for someone who is organized, self-motivated, and interested in a long-term opportunity with a mission-driven organization.

Responsibilities:
• Manage the full accounts payable cycle, including reviewing invoices, assigning proper coding, communicating with vendors, processing payments, and recording activity in Deltek.
• Process bi-weekly payroll, investigate and resolve discrepancies, maintain payroll-related accruals, and update records for employee onboarding and offboarding changes.
• Oversee daily banking activity by tracking transactions, preparing general ledger reconciliations, and producing regular cash flow and accounts payable projection reports.
• Review corporate card activity for accurate general ledger classification, reconcile expenses, and match imported statement data to supporting documentation.
• Support the month-end close process through journal entry preparation, balance sheet account reconciliation, and timely completion of internal accounting deadlines.
• Prepare recurring financial and operational reports, including bank activity summaries, deposit tracking, donation reporting, cash reporting, and project cost analysis.
• Review employee expense submissions to ensure compliance with company policies and process reimbursements accurately and on schedule.
• Provide guidance and day-to-day support for entry-level accounting tasks as the role grows into a broader weekly hour commitment.

Qualifications:

• Experience in staff accounting with hands-on responsibility for journal entries, accounts payable, and account reconciliations.
• Prior payroll processing experience, including reconciliation work and accrual management.
• Strong Excel skills with the ability to compare and validate data across multiple systems.
• Proficiency in bank reconciliations, balance sheet reconciliations, and expense reporting.
• Familiarity with Deltek Costpoint or a similar accounting platform is strongly preferred.
• Ability to work independently, stay organized, and manage priorities effectively in a primarily remote environment.
• Interest in a long-term opportunity and willingness to grow within a contract-to-permanent role.
