Staff Accountant

Staff Accountant
Salary: $60,000-$65,000
Location: Sanford, FL | Fully Onsite
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This Staff Accountant opportunity offers the chance to join one of the Orlando area's most established and community-focused organizations. The organization provides a collaborative, mission-driven environment where the Staff Accountant plays a visible role in supporting programs that directly benefit the community.

As a Staff Accountant, you'll work closely with grant, finance, and operational leaders while gaining exposure to federal grant accounting, capital asset oversight, and compliance-driven financial reporting. The role supports high-impact initiatives such as student success programs, curriculum development, equipment funding, and long-term capital improvements-giving the Staff Accountant meaningful ownership and purpose.

This opportunity is ideal for a Staff Accountant who values accountability, accuracy, and partnership and seeks long-term stability, visibility, and growth within a well-structured organization.

• Manage federal grant accounting activities, including contract review, reconciliations, journal entries, purchase orders, budget transfers, and compliance reporting as the Staff Accountant
• Partner with financial aid and grant teams to ensure expenditures and reporting align with federal and regulatory guidelines as the Staff Accountant
• Oversee capital asset accounting, including construction-related assets, reconciliations, journal entries, and supporting documentation as the Staff Accountant
• Review and approve financial entries for accuracy, completeness, and compliance as the Staff Accountant
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders on audits, reporting requirements, and cross-functional communication as the Staff Accountant

Qualifications for the Staff Accountant

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
• 2-4 years of grants or government accounting experience; higher-education environment strongly preferred
• Experience with capital asset accounting and People Soft; prior supervisory experience overseeing multiple staff members required

Who Thrives as the Staff Accountant
The ideal Staff Accountant is detail-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable working in a compliance-driven environment. This Staff Accountant enjoys cross-functional partnerships, takes ownership of complex processes, and wants to contribute to meaningful, community-impacting programs.
