Accounting Manager

Description

The Accounting Manager keeps Girl Scouts of Central Maryland’s financial engine running with accuracy, transparency, and service. You’ll manage day-to-day accounting across AP/AR and the general ledger; lead a timely, reliable month-end close; and deliver clear, decision-ready financial statements. You’ll own grant accounting end-to-end—coding, documentation, cost transfers, and monthly/quarterly reporting—so program teams can grow impact. As the finance liaison to internal partners and vendors, you’ll resolve billing issues quickly and strengthen relationships.

You’ll also administer our accounting system, improve processes and internal controls, and translate variances into actionable insights for the Executive Leadership Team. This role is ideal for a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys coaching others, building simple, scalable processes, and championing diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in everyday work

Make every dollar fuel big moments for girls.
