Grants Accountant

Description

Robert Half is partnering with a mission-driven nonprofit organization to identify a Grants Accountant who wants their work to directly support meaningful community programs.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accountant who enjoys hands-on work, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and is interested in building experience in grant and nonprofit accounting within a growing, high-impact organization.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll manage a portfolio of grants and play a key role in maintaining accurate financial reporting and supporting program success.

Core responsibilities include:

+ Preparing and posting journal entries related to grant activity

+ Performing account reconciliations and ensuring timely general ledger accuracy

+ Managing financial tracking and reporting for assigned grant programs

+ Supporting monthly financial reporting, including fund-level income statements

+ Assisting with budget vs. actual analysis and partnering with program leaders

+ Maintaining grant documentation and supporting audit and compliance efforts

+ Collaborating across accounting and operational teams

This role offers strong ownership with support from a collaborative, experienced team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

+ Work that directly supports community-based programs and services

+ Exposure to complex, high-volume grant accounting (great for skill-building)

+ Generous PTO offering (4+ weeks in year one)

+ Stable organization experiencing continued growth

+ Opportunity to learn and expand into grant accounting, even if you haven't done it before

Who This Role Is Great For

This position is a strong fit for someone who:

+ Takes pride in getting the details right

+ Enjoys owning their work and following through

+ Values purpose-driven work over a purely corporate environment

+ Is eager to grow their accounting skill set, particularly in grants

If you're looking for an opportunity where your accounting skills have a tangible impact - and where you can continue to grow in a supportive environment - we encourage you to apply or call our team today at !
