About The Opportunity

We are seeking three Grant Accountants (with a potential fourth opening) to join a fast-moving, mission-driven organization supporting federal, state, and local grant programs.

  • Prepare and analyze monthly financial statements for assigned grant portfolios
  • Monitor grant revenue, drawdowns, and reimbursements, ensuring timely and accurate cash flow
  • Conduct budget vs. actual analysis and investigate variances
  • Support grant compliance and reporting, including documentation and audit readiness
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with accounting teams, program managers, and leadership
  • Identify and resolve discrepancies in financial data, processes, and reporting

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or equivalent accounting coursework/experience)
  • Minimum 3 years of accounting experience, including:
    • Accounts Receivable
    • Financial statement preparation
    • General accounting processes
  • Intermediate Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs/HLOOKUPs)
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
  • Ability to work fully on-site in San Antonio, TX
  • Proven ability to collaborate across teams (non-siloed work style)
Preferred

  • Grant accounting experience (federal, state, or local funding)
  • Experience with Acumatica ERP or similar accounting systems
  • Background in nonprofit or multi-funding environments
