Accounting & Administrative Assistant

Job Information

Job Number: 32031

Salary: $70K-$85K DOE

Industry: Energy/Environmental

Put your accounting skills to work for an organization that powers communities. This nonprofit is seeking a detail-driven Accounting & Administrative Specialist to manage financial accuracy, drive operational excellence, and support a team committed to sustainable regional energy.

As Accounting & Administrative Specialist, you’ll play a key role in ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. This role manages a wide range of administrative responsibilities including scheduling, communications, and document preparation. You’ll also oversee meeting coordination, supply management, and support on‑site office needs. Stellar leadership skills are highly sought after in this role as you’ll serve at the point of contact for vendors and community partners – facilitating inquiries, supporting access to organizational resources, and preparing materials for leadership.

Equally important is the financial stewardship that this role provides. You’ll maintain the full general ledger, manage accounts payable and receivable, and process payroll‑related tasks. You’ll also be expected to prepare accurate monthly financial summaries for the leadership team, support annual audit and tax processes, and coordinate nonprofit compliance requirements. Those with innate numeracy skills will stand out among other applicants, as you’ll reconcile bank activity, oversee state and federal reporting obligations, and ensure financial accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Success in this role requires a strong attention to detail, excellent organizational and time‑management capabilities, and the ability to work independently. Efficacious communication skills, a proactive mindset, and the ability to balance multiple responsibilities are essential, as is a commitment to supporting a collaborative, mission‑driven culture.

This is a hybrid role at their beautiful Vancouver, WA location, where you’ll be expected to be on‑site two‑to‑three days a week.

• 5+ years of bookkeeping and/or accounting experience
• Strong proficiency in Quick Books Online & Microsoft Office Suite
• Experience in nonprofit financial operations and membership models highly preferred

Working for our client means joining a mission‑driven team that values integrity, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Employees enjoy an environment where independence is encouraged, leadership is supportive, and every role directly contributes to the long‑term sustainability and well‑being of communities across the globe/nation. Here, you can enjoy a healthy work‑life balance, the flexibility of a hybrid schedule, and a culture built on trust and a shared commitment to advancing clean, reliable energy solutions.

Benefits include a simplified employee pension (with a 15% employer contribution), PTO, and 100% paid health care premiums (includes medical, dental, and vision insurance).
