Senior Accountant - Chicago IL
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401k
Pay: $40-45/hr
Position Overview
A nonprofit organization is seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Senior Accountant to support key accounting functions, including account reconciliations, journal entries, grant and contract accounting, month-end close, and audit preparation. This individual will play an important role in managing grants from start to finish, maintaining accurate financial records, and ensuring critical deadlines are met.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can work independently, take initiative without waiting for direction, and effectively prioritize competing responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. Strong documentation skills and advanced Excel capabilities are essential. Experience with MIP is not required, and the organization is considering a future transition to Sage Intacct.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage grants from start to finish, including tracking financial activity, maintaining supporting documentation, and meeting applicable deadlines.
- Perform account reconciliations and investigate and resolve discrepancies.
- Prepare and post journal entries to maintain accurate general ledger records.
- Support month-end close activities and ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.
- Assist with grant and contract accounting, including monitoring financial activity and maintaining appropriate documentation.
- Support audit preparation by organizing financial records, preparing schedules, and providing requested supporting documentation.
- Maintain thorough, accurate documentation for accounting transactions, reconciliations, grants, and audit requests.
- Manage multiple priorities and shift between tasks as deadlines and organizational needs change.
- Identify outstanding items, take ownership of responsibilities, and proactively move work forward with minimal supervision.
Qualifications
- Solid accounting background with experience in general ledger accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close.
- Experience with grant and contract accounting, including the ability to manage grants independently from start to finish.
- Experience supporting audits and maintaining detailed financial documentation.
- Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, Lookups, and formulas.
- Ability to manage competing priorities and meet strict deadlines.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Self-motivated, resourceful, and able to take initiative without requiring constant direction or approval.
- Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment and independently manage responsibilities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in a nonprofit organization.
- Familiarity with MIP accounting software; however, experience with this system is not required.
- Experience with Sage Intacct is beneficial but not required.
