GHJ’s relationship with our Global Advisory and Accounting Network provides the resources needed to better understand client’s needs, attract a higher caliber of candidates and assess candidate potential.

A mission-driven nonprofit organization is seeking AP Accountants to join its finance team and support high-volume accounts payable and general accounting activities. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Accounting graduate looking to build hands-on experience in a supportive, teaching-focused environment with training and long-term growth potential.

The AP Accountant will process full-cycle accounts payable for multiple units while gaining exposure to general ledger accounting, journal entries, reconciliations, month-end close, and audit support. The role works closely with an Accounting Supervisor and serves as a key resource for field teams on AP-related questions.


Key Responsibilities

  • Review invoices for proper coding and supporting documentation
  • Maintain vendor records and support W-9 and 1099 requirements
  • Generate payments and research AP discrepancies and outstanding checks
  • Reconcile monthly AP aging reports and AP-related balance sheet accounts
  • Process corporate credit card expenses and employee reimbursements
  • Assist with journal entries, accruals, and monthly and year-end close
  • Support audit preparation and other accounting projects
  • Communicate with internal teams to resolve AP and accounting questions

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
  • Recent graduates with a solid academic record are encouraged to apply
  • Strong understanding of debits and credits and basic accounting principles
  • Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills
  • Prior accounting or AP experience is a plus, but not required
  • Detail-oriented with strong accuracy and organizational skills
  • Self-motivated, eager to learn, and comfortable taking initiative
  • Collaborative attitude and strong communication skills

    • Why Join?

  • Excellent entry point for a recent Accounting graduate
  • Hands-on training in a supportive learning environment
  • Exposure beyond AP into general ledger accounting, close, reconciliations, and audits
  • Contract-to-hire opportunity with potential for long-term growth
