Why This Opportunity

Join a highly visible, newly created Compliance Lead Analyst role where you'll serve as the subject matter expert on complex compliance, regulatory reporting, and technical accounting matters while partnering directly with senior finance leadership. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a mission-driven organization that offers exposure to diverse entities, complex transactions, and high‑profile stakeholders.

About the Company

Our client is a well‑established, mission‑driven organization with a national footprint and a long‑standing reputation for operational excellence and stakeholder advocacy. The organization supports a broad network of constituents through a variety of programs, initiatives, and business operations. With a dynamic operating environment and multiple business functions, employees have the opportunity to contribute meaningful work while collaborating across a sophisticated and evolving organization. The finance team is highly collaborative and committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and professional growth.

About the Compliance Lead Analyst Role

The Compliance Lead Analyst is a newly created position designed to strengthen and centralize the organization's compliance, regulatory reporting, audit support, and technical accounting functions. Reporting within the finance organization, this role will serve as a key resource for accounting and compliance matters across multiple business operations. The position will partner closely with accounting leadership, external auditors, tax advisors, and operational stakeholders to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and accounting standards. This role combines technical accounting expertise with hands‑on ownership of critical compliance processes while offering significant visibility across the organization. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex problems, researching accounting issues, and translating technical conclusions into actionable guidance for leadership.

Role Responsibilities

• Lead the preparation, review, and filing of nonprofit, tax, and regulatory compliance filings.
• Support audit readiness efforts and coordinate documentation requests for external auditors.
• Research and analyze complex accounting and compliance matters, providing recommendations to leadership.
• Monitor emerging regulatory and accounting developments and assess organizational impact.
• Assist with financial reporting activities, including technical accounting and revenue recognition matters.
• Partner with finance and operational teams to improve processes, controls, and compliance procedures.
• Support month‑end and year‑end close activities as needed.
• Develop and maintain documentation related to compliance, reporting, and accounting policies.

Qualifications

• CPA designation required.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field.
• Five or more years of progressive accounting, audit, tax, or compliance experience.
• Hands‑on experience preparing and reviewing IRS Form 990 filings.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, technical accounting, financial reporting, and revenue recognition.
• Experience supporting audits and managing regulatory compliance requirements.
• Advanced proficiency with Excel, including pivot tables, lookups, and complex financial analysis.
• Experience with Great Plains or similar ERP systems; exposure to Power BI or Tableau is a plus.
• Prior experience within nonprofit organizations, associations, or public accounting environments is highly valued.
• Experience with LM‑2 filings is a strong plus.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Newly created position with the opportunity to shape and build critical compliance processes.
• Direct exposure to senior finance leadership and organizational decision‑makers.
• Diverse responsibilities spanning compliance, tax, audit, technical accounting, and financial reporting.
• Opportunity to become a trusted subject matter expert for complex accounting and regulatory matters.
• Collaborative, mission‑driven culture focused on meaningful work and organizational impact.
• Hybrid work environment offering flexibility and strong work‑life integration.
