  • Experience with Sage MIP or comparable nonprofit accounting systems.
  • Background managing multiple funding streams, locations, or service lines.
  • Experience developing accounting staff and supporting organizational growth.

This Role Offers:

  • Base salary of $95,000-$115,000, with potential flexibility to approximately $120,000 for exceptional qualifications.
  • Full-time, direct-hire employment with an established, mission-focused organization.
  • 403(b) retirement plan and an additional employer-supported pension program, subject to plan terms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
