About the Organization: The mission of the West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is to 'Serve West Point and the Long Gray Line'. WPAOG is both the alumni association and foundation for the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point. Our vision is to ensure the Long Gray Line remains the most highly connected alumni body in the world. USMA is renowned as the world's preeminent leadership development institution. The student body, or Corps of Cadets, numbers 4,400, and each year approximately 1,000 cadets graduate and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army.

WPAOG is seeking an Accounting Associate that reports directly to the Assistant Director of Accounting. This position requires knowledge of accounting, accounting systems, reconciliations, journal entries, financial statements, and spreadsheets, as well as general business, finance reporting and accounting analyses.

In this role, the Associate works closely with the entire Finance team, but will have inter-departmental exposure as well. This includes providing assistance on many accounting and reporting functions in support of the Associate Director of Accounting and the Controller, according to the needs and structure of the Finance department as determined by the Chief Financial officer, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for non-profit organizations. Audit, compliance and ad hoc reporting projects will also be a key element of this function.
