Staff Accountant

“If we can get one child adopted into a loving family, all our work will be worth it.”
– Dave Thomas
 
Join us as we champion our mission to dramatically increase the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems. We’ve helped to find safe, permanent homes for more than 16,000 young people across the United States and Canada, but our mission is not complete. Invest your career in making a difference and join the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption’s team.  
 
We offer a supportive workplace where you can make an impact. We are dedicated to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable work environment for Foundation staff, while advocating for measurable change toward racial equity within the child welfare system.
 
We are looking for excellent talent to support our mission. Located in Dublin, Ohio, the staff accountant supports the day-to-day accounting operations of the Foundation and works with teams across the organization to process payments and maintain financial records. If you are someone who enjoys working with data, has a strong attention to detail and takes a customer-focused approach to supporting others, this is an opportunity to contribute to the financial accountability of a mission-driven organization while supporting essential accounting responsibilities. We encourage you to learn more and apply.
