About the Role

Our finance team is small by design and that's the point. As our Accounting Coordinator, you'll work directly with the CFO and a Senior Accountant, with real visibility into how the Council's finances actually run. No large department to disappear into, no reconciliations that vanish into someone else's queue. Your work matters here, and you'll see the impact of it.

You'll own the day-to-day processing of accounts payable and related transactions and provide the administrative and operational backbone that keeps our finance function efficient, compliant, and responsive to vendors, employees, and leadership alike.
