• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within a nonprofit, association, or mission-driven organization.
• Solid knowledge of GAAP and internal controls.
• Experience mentoring colleagues or playing informal leadership roles.
• Strong Excel skills; familiarity with Sage Intacct
• A proactive mindset, strong organizational skills, and attention to detail.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Mission-driven work in a respected organization serving the DC-community.
