Accountant – Nonprofit

Santa Fe, NM

Make a meaningful impact in your community.

A well-respected nonprofit organization in Santa Fe, dedicated to serving vulnerable populations, is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Accountant to oversee day-to-day financial operations and help strengthen the organization’s financial foundation.

This role is ideal for someone who is motivated by purpose and enjoys working deeply with budgets, grants, and nonprofit financial systems. With new executive leadership in place, the organization is focused on building clear, compliant, and sustainable accounting practices that support its mission for years to come.

You will report directly to the Executive Director and work closely with leadership and external consultants as a key member of the management team.

What You’ll Actually Do

This is a hands-on, full-scope nonprofit accounting role. You will:

• Own the organization’s accounting systems, including general ledger management and month-end close

• Prepare and monitor operating budgets and variance reports

• Track grants, restricted funds, and donor-specific reporting requirements

• Manage payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable

• Conduct cash-flow analysis and ensure timely financial reporting to funders and the Board

• Prepare for and coordinate the annual audit

• Support funding applications and financial reporting tied to grants and contracts

• Collaborate on financial policies and internal controls as systems are strengthened

• Potentially supervise staff supporting financial reporting or donor data systems

You’ll be working in QuickBooks Desktop.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is a strong fit if you bring:

• A solid mix of nonprofit accounting experience and grant tracking

• 3–5 years of full-charge accounting experience, including payroll and taxes

• Proficiency with QuickBooks, Microsoft Excel, and Word

• Comfort working independently while collaborating closely with leadership

• A bachelor’s degree (preferred, not a deal-breaker)

• Experience in nonprofit and/or governmental accounting environments

Just as important: you’re practical, organized, and care about doing the work well so the mission can move forward.
