Senior Accountant Job Washington District of Columbia USA,Accounting

Senior Accountant – Finance Operations (Primarily Remote)

Salary: $70,000 – $90,000 + Bonus

Location: Washington, DC area preferred

Office Situation: Primarily Remote

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is one of those rare accounting opportunities where you can genuinely make an impact instead of just processing transactions all day. A stable, mission-driven nonprofit organization is looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to become a key operational partner within a small, collaborative Finance team. If you enjoy variety, ownership, process improvement, systems, and working closely with leadership in a lean environment, this role offers much more exposure than a traditional Senior Accountant position.

Why people are excited about this opportunity:

Primarily remote work environment
Stable organization with strong employee tenure
High visibility role with direct exposure to leadership
Opportunity to help modernize accounting and finance operations
Broad operational accounting exposure versus being siloed
Flexible scheduling options
Strong benefits package including:
Medical, dental, and vision coverage, tuition reimbursement, professional development support
Collaborative, low-ego environment where employee input is valued
Opportunity to work on systems/process improvements, not just day-to-day accounting

Key Responsibilities:

Manage account reconciliations including bank, GL, deferred revenue, investments, payroll/benefits, AP/accruals, and Shopify/eCommerce activity
Support month-end close, financial reporting, payroll processing, and compliance activities
Assist with audits, Form 990 preparation, and day-to-day operational accounting
Help improve accounting processes, procedures, workflows, and documentation
Support finance modernization initiatives including Sage Intacct implementation, reporting enhancements, and process automation
Partner cross-functionally with departments across the organization

Qualifications:

5+ years of accounting experience
Nonprofit accounting experience
Strong general ledger and reconciliation experience
Month-end close experience
Strong Excel skills
Experience supporting audits/compliance activities
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being involved, wants visibility, and likes helping organizations improve and evolve rather than sitting in a narrowly defined accounting role.

If interested, apply ASAP. The team is actively beginning the search process and looking to move quickly for the right person.
