Grants Accountant Opportunity

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
