Washington, DC, United States IREX Full time
Salary Range
$52,400.00 to $65,500.00 USD
Final salary will be determined based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and relevant experience.

Mission-driven work. Real ownership. Smart systems.

IREX is seeking an energetic, detail-oriented Staff Accountant to help keep our global operations running smoothly and compliantly.

Reporting to the Accounting Manager, you'll own core accounting functions-AP, AR, billing, and general ledger-while helping strengthen controls, streamline processes, and support audits and business development.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both precision and problem-solving, and who wants their accounting work to directly support international impact.

What you'll do
  • Execute end-to-end AP, AR, billing, and GL activities with accuracy and timeliness
  • Manage transactions and month-close entries in Deltek Costpoint, Concur, and related systems
  • Support audits, financial reporting, and year-end processes (including 1099s)
  • Partner with FP&A, programs, and business development on accruals, costing, and compliance
  • Identify control gaps, recommend improvements, and help modernize accounting practices
  • Serve as a trusted resource for staff, vendors, and partners on financial policies and systems
What you bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (Master's a plus)
  • 2-4 years of accounting experience with strong GAAP knowledge
  • Experience in nonprofits, grants, or donor-funded environments preferred
  • Comfort with accounting systems (Deltek Costpoint, Concur a plus) and strong Excel skills
  • Clear communicator with sharp judgment, strong organization, and a service mindset
Why this role
  • You'll have visibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to improve how things work-while supporting programs that make a real difference worldwide.
Why high performers succeed here
  • You're trusted with real ownership-accuracy, judgment, and initiative matter
  • You work with smart, collaborative colleagues who value clarity and follow-through
  • Your ideas to strengthen controls and improve processes are welcomed and acted on
  • You see the full picture: accounting, programs, donors, and business development
  • Your work directly supports global impact-not just the bottom line
