  • Track and report on financial activity for government, foundation, and other restricted grants in accordance with funder and contract agreement requirements
  • Own responsibility for federal grant financial reporting (e.g., SF-425, FFR), as well as monthly budget reporting
  • Collaborate with leadership and program staff on grant budget development, financial reporting, and budget modifications
  • Provide variance analysis and budget guidance to program leaders, as well as financial insights and recommendations to support strategic planning and long-term organizational goals

Internal Policy Controls and Improvements
  • Lead audit preparation in partnership with external and forensic accountants; ensure documentation is complete and audit-ready at all times
  • Develop, document, and continuously strengthen internal controls and financial policies, including travel reimbursements, credit card management, and expense authorization procedures
  • Drive process improvements across financial operations, leveraging technology and best practices to increase efficiency and reduce risk
