• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5–7 years of progressive accounting experience, including 5 years of supervisory experience
• Demonstrated success in improving or modernizing accounting systems/processes
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and audit preparation
• CPA preferred
• Experience in nonprofit or healthcare settings is a plus, but not required

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their families
• Paid time off, holidays, and special leave options (such as extended illness and compassion time)
