• Manage resident trust-account activity and financial transactions
• Maintain organized, audit-ready documentation
• Reconcile reports, deposits, and transaction activity
• Support monthly billing and reporting processes
• Work closely with operations while remaining part of the accounting team
• Help protect the integrity of resident funds through strong accountability practices

In short: you’ll keep the financial side running smoothly so our programs can keep changing lives.

• Want a role where your work genuinely matters

Bonus points if you’ve worked in:

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Excel and data-entry skills
• Excellent organization and documentation habits
