What is the difference between Contract Nonprofit Controller vs Bookkeeper?
| Aspect | Contract Nonprofit Controller | Bookkeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | CPA or accounting degree often preferred | High school diploma or equivalent, bookkeeping certification optional |

Job description
We are looking for an inspired, passionate Controller who wants to effect profound change and have fun doing it!
In the last four years, we’ve experienced rapid growth, doubling in size. Our financial health is strong as the vast majority of funding comes from long-standing contracts with school districts and a diverse slate of local, state and federal sources. We enjoy an excellent reputation throughout the Bay Area. While our recent growth is a clear marker of our success, it also brings with it complexity and challenges. We are still in the process of scaling up our processes, tools and teams to keep up with our growth.

-
Expertise in U.S. GAAP, nonprofit accounting procedures, and compliance with tax and regulatory requirements.
-
Experience managing nonprofit audits, and Form 990 filings.
-
Proven ability to lead process improvements, system implementations, and high-performing teams.
