Summary

Our private foundation seeks to advance human flourishing through education, cultural access, and well-being. We are seeking a detail-driven Senior Bookkeeper (QBO) on a fractional, part-time basis. This is a high-trust role with direct exposure to the foundation's principals. We operate more like an early-stage venture studio and tech incubator rather than like a traditional grant maker — strategy-focused, lean, agile, builder-oriented, and mission-driven. You will bring order, accuracy, and clear financial visibility to an organization that values precision and discretion. What you'll work on Full-cycle bookkeeping with Quickbooks Online: AP/AR, bank reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end reporting General ledger integrity and chart-of-accounts maintenance Monthly and quarterly financial statements, budget-to-actual reporting, and cash-flow tracking Program and disbursement tracking, including documentation for restricted vs. unrestricted activity Coordination of Form 990-PF preparation with outside CPAs and auditors Vendor management, contractor processing, and expense oversight Recordkeeping and audit-readiness consistent with private foundation compliance (minimum distribution, self-dealing, excise tax awareness)
