Job Description

Senior Accounting Manager managing accounting operations for AidKit, a nonprofit transforming cash assistance programs. Overseeing financial accuracy and supporting audit readiness in a fully remote environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Execute the monthly close calendar, checklist, and deliverables with consistent timeline (target: ~14 business days)
  • Prepare and maintain key account reconciliations (cash/bank, prepaids, accruals, deferred items, payroll) with clear support and variance follow-up
  • Produce accurate monthly financial outputs (budget vs. actual, department reporting, next-twelve-month revenue tracking)
  • Reconcile activity across banks and payment processors (e.g., Mercury, Dwolla, card partners) and ensure clearing/timing items are tracked, explained, and resolved.
  • Perform final review of financials (reasonableness checks, variance investigation) before release
  • Ensure revenue accrual estimates and deferral schedules tie cleanly to source systems and documentation (and reconcile to GL revenue).
  • Drive cleanup and prevention of aged recon items
  • Partner with Treasury Ops/Program Finance Ops to maintain accurate program/grant fund balance schedules and tie-outs across many programs/accounts.
  • Own finance systems (accounting-side) for Rillet + Ramp integrations—drive improvements, not just usage
  • Build error-proof templates and checks that catch issues early (period/cutoff errors, miscodings, unmapped items)
  • Reduce manual work with clean mappings, automation-first workflows, and auditable spreadsheets/models
  • Partner with Treasury Ops to align data outputs with accounting records and maintain reliable cash visibility
  • Create lightweight analyses to answer practical questions and share insights with Finance leadership
  • Maintain SOPs for close, reconciliations, and accounting workflows
  • Create a clean, organized evidence trail for auditors/diligence (repeatable PBC responses, defensible documentation)
  • Own audit/diligence finance-side execution, coordinating with Finance leadership and Compliance as needed
  • Perform periodic reviews of approvals, access, and permissions
  • Coordinate and support external tax accountants for corporate tax returns

Requirements:

  • CPA preferred (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years in corporate accounting and/or close execution roles (startup/scale-up a plus)
  • Demonstrated ability to own month-end close independently in a lean org
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (pivots, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, SUMIFS, cross-workbook functions, multi-criteria logic)
  • Comfort making judgment calls and documenting decisions clearly
  • Experience improving processes, automating workflows, and supporting audits
  • You care deeply about the mission of direct aid and supporting anyone who needs help

Benefits:

  • Fully remote work setting with home office setup and maintenance stipends
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • Retirement plan with 401K matching
  • Health benefits (for you and your family)
  • Flexible schedule
  • Generous 16-week paid parental leave
  • Professional development support
