Robert Half is partnering with a mission-driven nonprofit organization to identify a Grants Accountant who wants their work to directly support meaningful community programs.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accountant who enjoys hands-on work, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and is interested in building experience in grant and nonprofit accounting within a growing, high-impact organization.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll manage a portfolio of grants and play a key role in maintaining accurate financial reporting and supporting program success.
Core responsibilities include:
Preparing and posting journal entries related to grant activity
Performing account reconciliations and ensuring timely general ledger accuracy
Managing financial tracking and reporting for assigned grant programs
Supporting monthly financial reporting , including fund-level income statements
Assisting with budget vs. actual analysis and partnering with program leaders
Maintaining grant documentation and supporting audit and compliance efforts
Collaborating across accounting and operational teams
This role offers strong ownership with support from a collaborative, experienced team.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Work that directly supports community-based programs and services
Exposure to complex, high-volume grant accounting (great for skill-building)
Generous PTO offering (4+ weeks in year one)
Stable organization experiencing continued growth
Opportunity to learn and expand into grant accounting , even if you haven’t done it before
Who This Role Is Great For
This position is a strong fit for someone who:
Takes pride in getting the details right
Enjoys owning their work and following through
Values purpose-driven work over a purely corporate environment
Is eager to grow their accounting skill set , particularly in grants
