GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by 1,300 colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. We received a seed investment from Y Combinator in 2015 and have pursued a strategy of 'Sustainable Growth' ever since: achieving six consecutive years of profitability and positive cash-flow while more than quadrupling our revenue, our customer base, and our team. In 2022, we raised $50 million to accelerate the next stage of our growth.

Through The GiveCampus Social Mobility Initiative, we've donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low-income students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to Y Combinator's Top Companies list and the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

While we operate at meaningful scale (we've facilitated more than $4 billion in charitable giving), we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we're growing to help schools achieve even greater results.

Our purpose-driven team of 90 is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We're looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high-quality education.

We are looking for a Senior Accountant to become a key member of the Finance team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys finding new solutions, thrives in a fast paced environment, and has a knack for detail. We are looking for someone with experience in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue recognition, contract management and general ledger activities.

We are already highly transaction-driven and use automation and innovation to drive operational efficiencies. This person embraces technology, tools and process to get tasks done accurately and timely. We are a start-up, so this person likes a fast-paced environment and views change as an opportunity, not an issue.
