Shape the Future of Our Mission: Senior Accounting Manager

Are you a numbers person who loves people as much as spreadsheets? Do you thrive in a modern, tech-forward environment where "the way we’ve always done it" is just a starting point for improvement?

Filoli is looking for a Senior Accounting Manager to lead our accounting operations. Reporting to the Controller, you won’t just be managing a ledger—you’ll be a strategic partner to our program directors, a mentor to a talented team of three, and a champion for financial clarity in a dynamic non-profit setting.

Location: Filoli Historic House & Garden, Woodside, CA

Position Type: Full-time, Year-round, Salaried, Benefit Eligible

Schedule: Typically Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm (Flexibility, seasonal overtime and off hours commitment required)

Salary Range: $149,000 to $163,000 (Depending upon candidate experience)

Reports to: Controller

The Impact You’ll Make

Operational Excellence: Own the day-to-day general ledger, month-end close, and financial reporting to ensure we are always audit-ready and GAAP-compliant.
Collaborative Budgeting: Partner with department leaders to turn complex data into actionable budgets and forecasts using modern FP&A tools.
Empowering Leadership: Lead, coach, and inspire our small but mighty team (AP Financial Analyst, AR Accountant, and Staff Accountant).
Process Innovation: We love technology! You’ll leverage AI tools (like Claude and Gemini) and platforms like Monday.com and Pigment to streamline workflows and build a "Finance Help Center" that empowers our entire staff.
Strategic Compliance: Manage tax filings (Form 990, sales tax) and coordinate annual audits with a focus on transparency and integrity.

Who You Are

An Experienced Leader: You have 7+ years of accounting experience and 3+ years of supervisory experience. A Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance is required; a CPA is the cherry on top.
A Non-Profit Pro: You understand the nuances of multiple revenue streams and are passionate about advancing Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) within financial systems.
Tech-Savvy & Curious: You’re an Excel wizard (complex formulas are your love language) and you’re genuinely excited about using AI and work management platforms to make work better.
Adaptable & Composed: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can navigate seasonal peaks (like audit or budget season) with grace and a problem-solving mindset.
