Job Description
Our client, a growing public accounting firm in West Michigan, is seeking a Controller-level candidate to support a diverse portfolio of nonprofit organizations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in both hands-on accounting and advisory work, and who enjoys serving as a strategic partner to mission-driven clients.
You will step into an established book of business and act as an outsourced controller for multiple nonprofits. The work is a balanced blend of hands-on accounting, advisory, analysis, forecasting, and client guidance. The ideal candidate brings strong nonprofit accounting expertise along with public accounting experience.
✔️Full-time/direct hire position
✔️ Hybrid flexibility to work from home as needed
Location: This role can be based out of our clients' Holland, Muskegon or Grand Rapids offices.
What You'll Do
- Provide strategic oversight of full-cycle client engagements for nonprofit organizations
- Lead advisory discussions, delivering insights that guide budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning
- Manage grant reporting, fund accounting requirements, and compliance activities
- Review financial statements, controls, and accounting processes for accuracy and improvement opportunities
- Build financial models and budgets to support client growth and operational decisions
- Mentor team members and collaborate cross-functionally while maintaining high client service standards
- Participate in informal business development as part of relationship building with existing clients
- Work in a hybrid environment with in-office time expected (local travel between firm offices as needed)
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business, or related field
- 5 to 8 years of nonprofit accounting experience (public accounting background required)
- Strong understanding of fund accounting, grant compliance, and nonprofit reporting frameworks
- Experience acting in an advisory or outsourced controller capacity
- Ability to interpret complex accounting issues and present findings clearly to client leadership
- Excellent communication, organization, and prioritization skills
- Experience with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, or NetSuite preferred
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a growing, mid-sized public accounting firm with strong roots and expanding service lines
- Enjoy a balanced environment offering career growth and resources without the 'big firm' feel
- Attractive work-life balance
- Supportive leadership structure with partner involvement in high-level technical matters
- Opportunity to make a direct impact across a broad portfolio of nonprofit clients serving diverse communities
