Title: Staff Accountant

Salary: $58,000–$65,000

Location: Greater Boston

Why This Staff Accountant Opportunity Stands Out:

• 
  
• Join a mission-driven nonprofit where the Staff Accountant will gain broad exposure across general accounting, payroll, reconciliations, and reporting
• 
  
• Excellent opportunity for an early-career accounting professional looking to build a strong foundation in a supportive team environment
• 
  
• Strong work-life balance with limited overtime and no regular weekend expectations
• 
  
• The Staff Accountant will work closely with experienced finance professionals and gain visibility across multiple areas of the organization
• 
  
• Competitive benefits including generous paid time off, healthcare coverage, and a strong retirement plan
• 
  

Must Haves for the Staff Accountant:

• Hands-on experience with journal entries, account reconciliations, and month-end close
• 
  
• Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple accounting priorities
• 
  
• The Staff Accountant should be comfortable supporting payroll; Sage or Paylocity experience is helpful but not required
• 
  

Staff Accountant Responsibilities:

• 
  
• The Staff Accountant will support biweekly payroll processing and prepare related journal entries
