Job Description

Are you an experienced nonprofit bookkeeper who’s passionate about the arts?

People Architects is proud to partner with a respected cultural institution in Cleveland to find a Senior Bookkeeper to lead day-to-day financial operations for this dynamic, mid-sized nonprofit.

This is more than just a numbers role — it's an opportunity to directly support impactful programming, community engagement, and the vibrant contemporary arts scene in Northeast Ohio.

We're looking for a detail-oriented accounting professional with nonprofit experience to support accurate, compliant, and transparent financial management. In this hands-on role, you’ll work closely with a fractional CFO, senior leadership, and the development team to ensure operational excellence and audit readiness—enabling the broader team to focus on impactful programming and community engagement.

Responsibilities :

  • Own all core accounting activities: A/P, A/R, reconciliations, and payroll (Paylocity)
  • Maintain GAAP-compliant financial records in QuickBooks Online
  • Prepare reports, support audits, and assist with budgets and forecasts
  • Collaborate with Development to track restricted/unrestricted donations, pledges, and grants
  • Interface with platforms like DonorPerfect, Square, QGiv, and PNC

Qualifications (required and preferred) :

  • 5+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience (nonprofit strongly preferred)
  • Deep familiarity with QuickBooks Online and fund accounting
  • Payroll experience (Paylocity ideal); Excel proficiency a must
  • Clear communicator and strong collaborator across departments
  • Bonus: experience with donor platforms (DonorPerfect, QGiv) and external auditors

Why This Role?

  • Join a passionate group of professionals who believe in mission-first work
  • Contribute to a creative organization that values transparency, growth, and excellence

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. People Architect and our clients are equal opportunity employers and do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status.
