Staff Accountant

• Owning revenue reconciliation. You’ll reconcile donations from several payment platforms including bank deposits, securities, and cryptocurrency to a CRM system for the purpose of general ledger uploads and ultimately regranting to charities.
• Preparing the quarterly grants reconciliation. You’ll perform our quarterly reconciliation from the general ledger to our grants database, which ensures liabilities are accurately recorded, grants are correctly attributed by grantee, funds are allocated properly from our Top Charities and All Grants Funds, and that our net asset rollforward reconciles.
• Assisting with higher-complexity close processes. You’ll participate in close processes beyond revenue and grants by reconciling investments and recording entries for more complex areas such as lease amortization, intercompany grants, and accrued vacation.
• Supporting audit and tax compliance. You’ll draft portions of the financial statements and related footnotes, prepare Form 990 support documents, and work closely with our auditors and 990 preparers alongside the Controller.
• Driving process improvement. You’ll help update our workflows, particularly around the grants reconciliation process, serving as a thought partner to the Controller on how we build a more efficient and scalable finance function.
• Mentoring the Staff Accountant. You’ll serve as a go-to resource and sounding board as they grow in their role.
