Why This Grant Accountant Opportunity Stands OutThis Grant Accountant opportunity offers the chance to join a stable, mission-driven nonprofit organization in a fully remote role supporting a significant portfolio of state and federal grants. You'll have ownership of assigned grants while gaining broad exposure to budgeting, financial analysis, reporting, and month-end close.
What Makes This Grant Accountant Opportunity Especially Compelling- 100% remote position with no travel required
- Flexible start time with the ability to choose a consistent schedule beginning at 7:00, 8:00, or 9:00 AM
- Manage a diverse portfolio of approximately 12–15 state and federal grants
- Broad accounting exposure beyond transactional processing, including budgeting, analysis, reporting, and month-end close
- Comprehensive benefits including 403(b) match, tuition reimbursement, 16 days of PTO, 12 paid holidays, and 1 floating holiday
- Multiple health insurance options and additional employee benefits
- Collaborative accounting team within a stable, mission-driven organization

- Support financial analysis and other full-cycle accounting responsibilities as needed

Finance degree considered with strong accounting experience - Hands-on grant accounting experience required
- Full-cycle accounting experience required; candidates whose experience is primarily Accounts Payable will not be a fit
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, and formulas
- Experience with budgeting, financial analysis, journal entries, and month-end close
- Experience working with state and/or federal grants strongly preferred
- Abila MIP or similar nonprofit accounting software experience preferred
