Description:

About Us: 

All In One Accounting is a 7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities and one of the Best Places to Work in the Minneapolis area. Our purpose is simple: to make the lives of entrepreneurial and nonprofit leaders better. We do that by supporting profitable growth, protecting assets, and amplifying impact — bringing financial clarity and strategic leadership to the clients who need it most. We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear goals, strong accountability, and a team that executes with intention. 


A Bit About the Role: 

We're seeking a Senior Nonprofit Controller to take on AIOA's most complex nonprofit client work, mentor other Controllers, and help shape the standards that define our nonprofit practice. You are client-facing, highly advisory, and deeply invested in the development of the team around you.

Hungry means you're not just delivering for your own clients — you're actively making the whole practice better: mentoring Controllers, contributing to firm-wide processes, and raising the bar for what great looks like. Humble means you share your expertise freely, take direction from leadership even when you're the most experienced person in the room, and give credit generously. Smart means your clients and colleagues rely on your judgment for the most complex situations — and you've earned that trust by consistently delivering.

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, finance, or business administration (CPA preferred) 

 •  Experience in a multi-client or Client Accounting Services (CAS) environment strongly preferred  

 •  10+ years of progressive nonprofit accounting experience with team leadership 

 •  Deep expertise in nonprofit fund accounting, grant management, and GAAP-compliant financial reporting 

 •  Proven experience leading audit engagements and managing auditor relationships 

 •  Track record of mentoring Controllers and developing high-performing accounting teams
