Bookkeeper

Overview

The organization is seeking a Bookkeeper to maintain day-to-day financial records. This role works closely with the Staff Accountant. Responsibilities include entering transactions, processing payments, reconciling accounts, and supporting accurate month-end close.

Because the organization is a nonprofit, proper coding of income and expenses is especially important. Funds may be received for specific programs or grants, and the bookkeeping must reflect how money was spent.

This is a full-time, fully remote position. Availability during US Eastern business hours is required.
