Grants Accountant

CFS
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 1/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/7/2026
I am with an accounting search firm, and I am working with an organization in the area looking to hire a Grants Accountant. This is a newly created position due to growth the organization is experiencing. They are on a hybrid schedule and have a very collaborative environment with excellent benefits.

Salary: $70K – $85K

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Hybrid work environment
  • They are fast paced and offer a wonderful working environment
  • Great tenure on the team
  • Benefits are outstanding, featuring paid vacation, sick leave, all federal holidays, an immediately vested 401(k) match, and 85% employer-covered health insurance

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain precise financial records for all grants, monitoring and tracking expenditures to ensure alignment with donor requirements and approved budgets.
  • Prepare and deliver accurate, timely financial reports for donors and program teams.
  • Develop, monitor, and analyze budget-to-actual performance.
  • Reconcile grant-related accounts and prepare necessary journal entries.

Qualifications

  • BA in Accounting (required)
  • 2 years of non-profit accounting and grants experience
  • EXCEL proficiency (VLOOKUPS, formulas, multi-tab spreadsheets, etc.)
  • Great understanding of debits/credits
