Job description

Does the opportunity to devote your talents to a cause much greater than yourself excite you? Do you enjoy digging into the details, finding efficiencies, and turning financial data into insights that guide meaningful impact? The Arbor Day Foundation is a place where you can do work that matters, with people who care. As we say at the Foundation: life is short, love where you work.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. We foster a growing community of more than one million leaders, innovators, planters, and supporters united by our bold belief that a more hopeful future can be shaped through the power of trees.
Join the Arbor Day Foundation as an Accounting Manager. As an Accounting Manager you'll provide leadership, coaching, and direction to team members while playing a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and transparency of the Foundation's financial operations. You'll serve as a technical resource, a cross-functional thought partner, and a champion of cultivating process improvements that help modernize how we operate and help us scale our mission.
This role is based in Lincoln, Nebraska, with 10% travel to Nebraska City, and reports to the Accounting Director. Team members are expected to be in the office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and can work remotely on Wednesday and Friday, subject to their schedule and business needs. This role operates primarily in a professional office or remote environment requiring regular computer use and extended periods of desk work.
What You'll Do:
  • Manage accounting activities and month-end close procedures, preparing and reviewing journal entries, reconciling accounts, and ensuring timely, accurate reporting across entities. Activities for the Arbor Day Foundation and its subsidiaries include AP/AR, inventory management, and loan processing.
  • Oversee expense reporting and allocation methodologies, providing financial insights through budget-to-actual analyses, and transparent cost allocation across shared services and programs, collaborating across departments to foster data-driven decision-making.
  • Support audit and compliance preparation, building schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation for annual financial and compliance audits.
  • Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements by assisting with grant reporting, charitable gift annuity accounting and filings, and state and federal tax compliance.
  • Support risk management through coordination of insurance renewals, coverage tracking, and analytics that ensure the Foundation's assets are protected.
  • Support payroll and benefits accountings, serving as the primary back-up for payroll processing and 401(k) analytics, reconciliation, and reporting to maintain compliance and accuracy.

What Success Looks Like:
  • You consistently deliver accurate, timely financial reports that the organization trusts for decision-making.
  • You streamline accounting workflows into efficient, reliable systems that reduce manual effort.
  • You identify and lead improvements that enhance both compliance and clarity across the organization.
  • You elevate the accounting team's capability through technology-forward ideas and collaboration.

What You'll Bring:
  • Progressive experience. The ideal candidate has 4-7 years of accounting experience with increasing responsibility and holds a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA or active candidacy is preferred.
  • Technical expertise: You understand GAAP with proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (or similar ERP) and intermediate to advanced Excel skills.
  • Integrity & judgment: You act with high integrity, sound judgment, and an unwavering commitment to accuracy.
  • Communication skills: You confidently partner with stakeholders at all levels, with the ability to convey financial information clearly.
  • Prioritization & execution: You manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and workstreams effectively.
  • Demonstrated experience leading or coaching team members; ability to inspire, guide, and develop others as a people leader.

Love Where You Work:
  • Our work changes the world. We find deep purpose in our daily work, we're helping to shape the planet for future generations.
  • We're in this together. A culture focused on a genuine interest in the wellbeing of others, collaboration, and the intrinsic shared purpose to do what's right.
  • We care about your health. We offer competitive healthcare (health, dental, vision) coverage for you and your loved ones matched with a wellness incentives program.
  • We invest in your future. Company paid short-term and long-term disability, paid parental leave, life insurance and 401k with company match are available.
  • We know the little things matter. Team members receive a monthly parking stipend, a fully stocked kitchen, and access to a plethora of benefits at Arbor Day Farm.
  • We care about your growth. We allocate 40+ hours annually for our team members to focus on learning and development.
  • We want you to unplug when needed. We believe in taking your time off without guilt, including the week between Christmas and New Years that we close our Lincoln Campus to recharge.
  • We'll round out the experience. We put our culture first, and we host events and experiences throughout the year to show that we care about you (and your family).
