Senior Accountant

Calibre CPA Group
Bethesda, MD Full Time
POSTED ON 4/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/7/2026

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to help lead the day-to-day finance operations for a diverse mix of clients. This role combines accounting know-how, client collaboration, and light team leadership. If you enjoy digging into numbers, optimizing systems, and helping mission-driven organizations thrive—this could be the perfect fit.

Salary Range – $70,000 - $90,000 (depending on experience)

What You’ll Do:

Finance & Accounting

  • Own the monthly and annual close process—think reconciliations, reports, and audit prep.
  • Keep ledgers clean and compliant with GAAP and other reporting standards.
  • Track budgets, flag variances, and help teams make informed decisions.
  • Allocate payroll/overhead costs to programs and grants.
  • Maintain cash flow forecasts and track investments.
  • Handle compliance filings (payroll, sales, nonprofit, etc.).

Client & Team Collaboration

  • Work directly with clients' leadership and program staff to set up efficient finance systems.
  • Support the financial reporting process for audits and board meetings.
  • Train and guide junior team members—share the “why” behind the numbers.
  • Coordinate with payroll providers and vendors as needed.

Growth & Leadership

  • Spot opportunities to improve client operations or expand services.
  • Be a finance lead on internal cross-functional teams (tech, DEI, social, etc.).
  • Support special projects, rollouts, and continuous learning across the team.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or Business.
  • 2 years of experience (bonus if in a public accounting or nonprofit setting).
  • Advanced QuickBooks and Excel skills.
  • Familiar with budgeting, compliance, grant reporting, and audits.
  • Strong communicator and problem solver.
  • Authorized to work in the U.S.

Perks of the Role:

  • Work with purpose-driven clients and passionate colleagues.
  • Balance of autonomy and collaboration.
  • Opportunity to grow in client-facing, strategic, and operational areas.
  • Be part of a mission-aligned team making real impact.
