This newly created position is a hands-on, high-trust position for someone who wants ownership over the full accounting and payroll cycle — not just a piece of it. You’ll be the Cathedral’s primary internal financial resource, working closely with the Chief Operating Officer and leadership to keep our financial house in order so our staff and clergy can focus on serving our congregation and our city. You’ll bring structure, accuracy, and a steady hand to everything from the monthly close to payroll tax filings, while also having a voice in how we strengthen our internal controls and financial processes going forward.
What You’ll Do
- General accounting and bookkeeping
- Financial reporting and planning
- Payroll administration and compliance
- Internal controls and stewardship
What You Bring
- A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- Three to five or more years of progressively responsible accounting experience, ideally in a nonprofit, faith-based, or mission-driven organization
- Comfort with fund accounting; CPA licensure or progress toward it is a plus, not a requirement
- Working knowledge of accounting software (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, or similar) and payroll platforms (ADP, Paychex, or Intuit)
- Strong Excel skills and familiarity with federal and Indiana payroll tax requirements
