Walk through your close checklist and typical days-to-close. Describe your experience with fund/class accounting or restricted funds in QBO. If none, explain how you'd set it up for a school with tuition, donations, and a restricted scholarship fund. Attach or describe (redacted) a budget-vs-actual commentary you wrote. What decisions did it inform? Which have you used hands-on and in what role: BILL, Gusto, Ramp, ADP, QuickBooks Payroll? Have you prepared Form 990 workpapers or supported a US nonprofit audit? Describe your role. What US Eastern Time overlap can you commit to, long-term? About The Role NERVE Technologies is a Texas-based, AI-augmented IT and back-office services firm with delivery operations in the Philippines, launching a US nonprofit accounting practice serving mission-driven schools and faith-based organizations. This is a senior, founding role — dedicated accountant for a US nonprofit client, owning their monthly close end-to-end, working independently with only light review from a US CPA. As the practice grows, this person becomes the review lead and standards-setter for future hires, authoring the SOPs, QC checklists, and reporting templates. They're explicitly looking for someone who doesn't need supervision to produce board-ready US nonprofit financials.
