They play a crucial role in maintaining transparency, supporting fundraising efforts, and ensuring the organization's long-term financial health.

Description:

About Us


7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities, All In One Accounting is the strategic accounting team for mission-driven nonprofits and growth-minded entrepreneurs.

All In One Accounting’s thorough and comprehensive set of services move our clients from financial chaos to business clarity and beyond.

Simply said, our mission is to make the lives of nonprofit and entrepreneur leaders better. We do this by supporting profitable Growth, equipping them to Protect their assets, and enabling nonprofits to Amplify their impact.


A bit about the role:

We're seeking an experienced and dynamic Nonprofit Accountant to join our team and help support our small business clients. This role is pivotal in supporting mission-driven nonprofit organizations to reach their business goals through proactive financial management and consulting.

As a Nonprofit Accountant, you'll work alongside Controllers and CFOs to deliver exceptional accounting services to a diverse portfolio of clients. This role requires strong organizational skills to manage multiple client relationships simultaneously, the ability to work independently while knowing when to escalate issues, and a commitment to continuous learning and adaptation.


Now about you...


You're independently minded yet collaborative

You thrive working independently and think critically about client needs beyond the immediate task. You anticipate problems before they arise and take ownership of finding solutions without being prompted. At the same time, you know when to escalate complex issues and enjoy collaborating with your team to provide the best possible client service.


You're adaptable and resilient

We work primarily with smaller organizations that have big goals. You maintain composure and effectiveness when experiencing rapid change or unexpected challenges. You're comfortable with ambiguity and can adjust your approach based on each client's unique needs. You can seamlessly switch between different industries, accounting systems, and client priorities throughout your day.


You're bursting with initiative

While there are set deadlines and accountabilities with each client, you consistently push beyond just the task at hand to find ways to improve processes. You leverage technology and actively seek tools to bring efficiencies to each client's accounting cycle. You're not satisfied with "that's how it's always been done" - you look for opportunities to enhance processes and add value.


More about the Nonprofit Accountant role:

Wearing multiple hats and saying "yes" to a variety of challenges are the table stakes for the Nonprofit Accountant role. Your specific responsibilities include:

  • Managing and nurturing client relationships while collaborating with your delivery team for optimal service delivery
  • Designing and delivering exemplary service; this role is a thinker and a doer - you will be creating journal entries one moment and defining accounting policies the next
  • Becoming proficient in various accounting software platforms, with a strong foundation in QuickBooks Online
  • Implementing and maintaining strong internal controls and fraud prevention measures across client accounts
  • Contributing in team knowledge sharing and driving process improvements
  • Meeting weekly billable hours goals while maintaining the highest quality standards

The specifics of the Nonprofit Accountant role:

  • Maintain charts of accounts to facilitate accurate and timely financials
  • Process and review accounts payable, ensuring accurate vendor setup and fraud prevention
  • Conduct thorough monthly reconciliations of all balance sheet accounts
  • Prepare and manage accounts receivable processes, including collections
  • Make necessary month-end closing entries with proper documentation
  • Monitor budget variances and communicate significant issues proactively
  • Process client payroll with attention to compliance requirements
  • Consistently meet billable hours goals
  • Maintain the highest standards of service quality and client satisfaction

Internal Responsibilities

  • Complete all internal responsibilities including time tracking, capacity planning, and quarterly initiatives
  • Actively participate in All In One Accounting’s Brand Ambassador program, representing our mission and values
  • Uphold security practices to protect client assets effectively

The successful candidate will have:

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting or business administration, or equivalent business experience
  • 4+ years of accounting experience, preferably in nonprofit or public accounting and multi-client environments
  • Demonstrated success managing multiple client relationships simultaneously
  • Strong technical aptitude and ability to quickly adapt to various accounting software platforms
  • Excellence in written and verbal communication
  • Proven ability to work independently while maintaining strong team collaboration
  • Experience with fraud prevention and internal controls

Why All In One Accounting - The Benefits

All In One Accounting offers all of our delivery team positions as either full or part-time with a mix of client interaction and internal team comradery. We strive to meet team members where they're at – so our roles vary between onsite and fully remote.

Our company has been built by a team who likes to have fun, respect each other and works extremely hard to do right by each other and our clients. While working in a multi-client environment presents its own set of challenges, the greatest compliment we receive is that our work has changed the lives of our clients.

Our five core values of Commitment, Foresight, Relationships, Tenacity, and Teamwork are at the core of everything we do. We've created an environment of continuous growth and are excited to see your talents!


Salary and Benefits

  • Salary: $65,000 - $90,000
  • Annual Bonus: Up to 10% of salary
  • Comprehensive benefits package including:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401K
  • Life insurance
  • Long and short-term disability
  • HSA, FSA, and dependent care options
  • Professional development opportunities
