Grants Manager

New York

This team lead role oversees the core financial and accounting aspects of the grants and government funding lifecycle. This individual will have primary day-to-day responsibility for the production of financial reports related to both private foundations and government funding, maintaining an adequate system of accounting records and a comprehensive set of controls.

  • Ensure appropriate tagging and optimal utilization of all grant funding (private and government).
  • Prepare regular financial reports on funds tagged and utilization.
  • Identify additional opportunities to seek funding for untagged expenses/programs.
  • Conduct due diligence on untagged expenditures to determine eligibility under restricted grants.
  • Monitor receipt of all grant payments.
  • Assess the adequacy of revenue recognition and the ability to interpret complex US GAAP accounting topics such as the new revenue accounting standard (ASC 606).
  • Provide the Accounting team with the necessary documentation to support the month-end closing process.

Audit and funding support:

  • Serve as the financial subject matter expert for existing and potential government grants regarding budgetary oversight and financial reporting.
  • Develop documentation related to budget narratives, explanation of programs, and spend.
  • Work closely with year-end auditors on financial statement reviews, responding timely to any audit requests related to grant financials.

Required qualifications:

  • You have 6+ years of experience, with at least 3 years in accounting/finance for grants and government funding.
  • You possess a Bachelor's degree in Business, Accounting, or Finance.
  • Experience with charter schools is a bonus.

Skills and traits:

  • Possesses strong financial acumen and a grasp of the nuances that exist within non-profit accounting.
  • A collaborative, hands-on, results-oriented, and innovative professional who operates with the utmost integrity at all times.
  • Brings transformation experience and is a change agent with the ability to drive financial process improvements.
  • A clear communicator, able to craft and deliver messages to multiple constituencies at all levels (including the CFO).
  • Proven partnership abilities and experience working with diverse groups on financial projects.
  • Expertise in prioritizing projects, problem-solving, meeting deadlines, initiating follow-through, and displaying strict attention to detail.
  • Analytically grounded, with the ability to actualize ideas through execution.
