Supervise and mentor a team of staff accountants, providing clear direction, workload oversight, and ongoing coaching in a largely onsite setting.
Work closely with finance personnel and campus administrators to investigate accounting questions, resolve issues, and improve communication across departments.
Support the Assistant VP & Controller with operational accounting needs, executive reporting requests, and other finance initiatives as assigned.
Contribute accounting expertise to broader departmental projects, including activities connected to the institution’s enterprise system transition when needed.
7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial responsibility for general ledger activity, close processes, and financial reporting.
Demonstrated background in fund accounting is required; nonprofit or higher education fund accounting experience is highly valued.
Proven ability to prepare journal entries, perform detailed account and balance sheet reconciliations, and analyze financial results.
Prior experience leading or supervising accounting staff, with the ability to provide guidance, accountability, and team support.
