• Support close activities: journal entries, account reconciliations, intercompany reconciliations, GL review

• Help with grant documentation/compliance and audit-ready recordkeeping

• Assist with sales tax filings and process improvements as needed

Schedule & Flexibility

• 37.5 hours/week | Monday–Friday

• Hybrid flexibility (remote Mondays/Fridays) available once fully trained and established

Compensation & Benefits

• $50,000–$55,000/year (flex for exceptional candidates)

• Exceptional vacation and personal time allowance

What We’re Looking For

• Associate’s degree in Accounting/Finance (or equivalent experience)
