Featured Nonprofit Job: Business Administrator

Many of the positions posted on this blog fall into the "typical nonprofit jobs" category. That means you're usually seeing a lot of Development Director or Director of Major Gifts jobs. It's important to remember, however, that nonprofits still have aspects of business within them.

That is made especially clear with today's featured nonprofit job.

Mane Stream, a small nonprofit in Tewksbury Township, N.J., that provides recreational horsemanship and equine assisted therapy programs for children and adults with disabilities, is looking to hire a Business Administrator. The position is responsible for the management of all financial and business aspects of the organization, including  accounts payable and receivable, banking transactions and account, reconciliations, payroll, budget preparation and tracking, administration, and record keeping of employee benefit programs.

As a finance-oriented position, applicants must have either a college degree in that field or experience equivalent and five years in similar position. Strong communication skills and proficiency with QuickBooks and Excel are also a must, as are small business management skills, knowledge of nonprofit accounting procedures, and strong IT skills.
