• Support fund accounting activities by maintaining clear records of contract funding, receipts, and coding across programs or accounts.

• Generate and analyze financial reports using QuickBooks Online and Excel to support operational and compliance needs.

• Work independently in a remote setting, taking initiative to identify issues, recommend improvements, and complete priorities with minimal supervision.

• 5+ years of accounting experience, including senior-level responsibility for full-cycle accounting functions.
• Strong background in account, bank, and balance sheet reconciliations, with the ability to prepare complete supporting documentation.
