Senior Accountant

Salary: $70,000–$75,000
Location: Sanford, FL | Fully Onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Accountant meaningful ownership and a sense of purpose.

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

Review and approve financial entries for accuracy, completeness, and compliance as the Senior Accountant
Collaborate with internal stakeholders on audits, reporting requirements, and cross‑functional communication as the Senior Accountant

Qualifications for the Senior Accountant

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required
2–4 years of grants or government accounting experience; a 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 Senior Accountant

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