Job description

Financial Administrator

The Public Interest Network operates more than a dozen organizations committed to a shared vision of a better world, a set of core values, and a strategic approach to social change. Some of the groups that are part of the Network  include U.S. PIRG, Environment America, Green Corps, and the National Environmental Law Center. We are taking on some of the biggest challenges facing humanity such as delivering clean air, clean water and a livable climate to the next generation. But politics today often pits left vs. right, progressive vs. conservative, in ways that leave us no closer to real solutions. We don’t fit into either camp. If this approach interests you – apply today!   

In order to achieve strong results on pressing problems, the groups in The Public Interest Network need a strong support staff to provide the resources, guidance, and infrastructure it takes to make progress on these issues. We are looking for administrative staff to join our growing team. 

 Representative Responsibilities: 

Managing a combined annual budget of approximately $30 million, the Financial Department team performs the following functions:

• Oversee the collection of funds and the reconciliation of bank accounts.
• Review and process bills for payment.
• Process payroll and complete an array of payroll related tasks.
• Prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
• Comply with reporting requirements of state and federal governments.
• Prepare financial management reports.
• Participate as enthusiastic members of the TPIN community in support of the mission and goals of the advocacy program.

Qualifications

 Candidates must have facility working with numbers, attention to detail, computer experience, and interest in business management issues in a non-profit environment. Accounting, payroll, or billing/invoicing background, particularly in QuickBooks, is desirable but not required. We are looking for candidates with a commitment to public interest and environmental issues. Candidates must demonstrate a track record of being able to effectively work independently, have the ability to oversee significant projects and exercise excellent judgment.

 Compensation & Benefits

The compensation range for this position is $30,750-$36,000 and depends on relevant experience, education, and location. The Public Interest Network offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package may include medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, needs-based student loan assistance, 401(k) plan with employer match, commuter benefit program, paid time off, parental leave and long-term disability insurance.
