Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a respected nonprofit organization supporting innovative health and scientific research that improves lives. This hybrid opportunity offers the chance to own critical payroll operations while working closely with accounting, HR, and leadership in a mission-driven environment. You'll enjoy a highly visible role with meaningful impact, a collaborative team culture, and the stability of an established organization making a difference in the community.

• Manage and process semi-monthly payroll, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely employee payments.
• Serve as the payroll system administrator and liaison with the external payroll provider, including payroll allocations, reconciliations, and reporting.
• Oversee the full accounts payable cycle, including invoice processing, vendor maintenance, employee reimbursements, and payment runs.
• Prepare payroll, audit, and financial reports while supporting internal controls and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Assist with cash receipts, account reconciliations, audit support, and other accounting functions as needed.

Qualifications for the Accountant (Payroll & Accounts Payable):

• Associate degree in Accounting plus 4+ years of payroll and accounts payable experience, or an equivalent combination of education and payroll experience.
• Experience with MIP accounting software and strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Access.
• Strong attention to detail, excellent customer service and communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities; Spanish language skills are a plus.

If you're a payroll and accounting professional looking for a stable hybrid opportunity where your work directly supports impactful research and community-focused initiatives, we'd love to connect with you.
