We are a 500+ employee-focused nonprofit organization with an annual budget of over $70 million. Reporting directly to the Controller, the Accounting Manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the day-to-day financial operations of CLC, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across all accounting processes. This is a hands-on, operational leadership role for an accounting professional who leads by example and maintains active control over subledger and General Ledger integrity. You will supervise a team of four accounting professionals, providing guidance, coaching, and training. Crucially, you must maintain strong technical expertise and serve as the primary operational backup for key accounting functions—stepping in directly to process transactions, prepare reconciliations, or clear operational bottlenecks during staff absences, turnover, or deadline crunch times. The successful candidate will have a strong background in accounting principles, excellent leadership skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams. Requirements Your Impact on the Mission – Excellence in Advocacy 1. Operational Supervision & Primary Staff Backup Team Leadership & Supervision: Lead, direct, and supervise a team of four accounting professionals, providing continuous coaching, daily guidance, and performance support. Serve as Primary Operational Backup : Maintain complete capability and willingness to act as the direct, hands-on replacement for staff duties during absences, vacancy periods, or peak workload surges – including invoice processing, grant billings, issuing grant/financial reports, and performing reconciliations--to ensure seamless business continuity and meeting tight deadlines. Primary Source Verification: Review staff work against primary third-party source documentation (e.g. vendor invoices, contracts) rather than relying solely on secondary user-generated spreadsheets.
