About The Position

(EICI) is seeking a part-time, temporary accountant or CPA with direct experience in federal Single Audits under 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance) to support the organization through an upcoming first-time Single Audit engagement. This is a defined-term engagement, approximately 120 days, with the possibility of extension depending on the audit timeline. The role requires the ability to prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), review supporting documentation, and serve as the day-to-day internal point of contact with the external audit firm. The accountant will also help organize and respond to auditor requests, review internal controls documentation, and support the preparation of corrective action plans if findings arise. The position is part-time, with hours to be discussed, and is on a temporary/contract basis for roughly 120 days. It offers a hybrid or remote work arrangement with occasional in-person availability for Pittsburgh-based meetings.
