Children International is a nonprofit humanitarian organization working to eradicate poverty around the world. At CI, we believe that ending poverty starts with children. Without help, children in poverty become adults in poverty. Our vision is to bring people together to put an end to that through programs focused on health, education, empowerment through life skills and, ultimately, employment. Ours is a unique, long-term, customized approach that allows us to stay with our children for the first two decades of their lives. We’re in it for the long haul because we know that the 200,000 children we support in 10 countries around the world deserve a fighting chance.
Children International’s work is made possible by generous and caring sponsors, donors, corporations, more than 9,000 dedicated volunteers and approximately 1,600 employees. To ensure our programs give children the best possible chance of breaking the poverty cycle, we are elevating our practices for growing our people talent worldwide. That’s where you come in.
The Finance Team is focused on supporting our international affiliates by maintaining the financial health of the organization through budgeting, monthly reporting, accounting, reconciliations, payables and payroll.
Reporting to the Accounting Manager, the Staff Accountant will be responsible for several accounting and reporting functions, including but not limited to account reconciliations, journal entries, payroll, financial reporting, departmental budgeting, and collaboration with regional accounting staff and colleagues across the organization.
The ideal candidate should be confident in their ability to apply generally accepted accounting principles. This candidate should also be able to deliver consistently accurate data in support of financial reporting. We are looking for someone who is driven, with a desire to gain knowledge of the organization and collaborate with colleagues. Experience with ADP payroll systems, Great Plains software and Concur Solutions is a plus.
