The role

Civic Partners Group wants a Staff Accountant in Tacoma, WA who treats reconciliation as detective work, not drudgery. Set the $126,000 - $191,000 aside a moment and the finance ownership alone makes this Civic Partners Group job worth a serious look.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lean on Due Diligence and Leadership to automate what used to be manual
  • Flag variance the moment it appears, not after the quarter closes
  • Review contracts and invoices for accuracy before payment release
  • Partner with department heads to track spending against approved budgets
  • Build the $126,000 - $191,000 budget line and defend each assumption behind it
  • Hold the line on capitalization policy across every finance project

What You'll Bring

  • Familiarity with Accruals and related tools or frameworks
  • Comfort with the internship cadence of a Tacoma-based operation
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of an internship project
  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
  • Fluency in Accruals earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial

Civic Partners Group doesn't chase headlines; it just keeps building the craft-obsessed finance backbone that Tacoma, WA runs on. We believe the best finance decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

We pay $126,000 - $191,000 and protect it with coaching, coverage, and a flexible setup so your Due Diligence grows without burning you out.
