ABOUT OUR STAFF
At Your Part-Time Controller, we hire only skilled professionals with passion for and experience with the nonprofit sector. Many of our staff of more than 50 have CPA credentials, MBAs and advanced finance degrees. All of them are experts in nonprofit accounting who have gravitated to us because they want to help their clients build a better world, one accounting department at a time. We strongly believe that an organization is only as good as its employees.
We also recognize that staff have lives and families outside of work. We don’t make our employees turn their lives over to the company, but rather encourage them to have a healthy balance between home and work.
If you’re a hard-working accounting professional who enjoys the diversity of different client experiences and the knowledge that you’re making a difference, we’d love to hear from you when employment opportunities occur. Meanwhile, meet some of our YPTC family and see why they enjoy our work environment so much!
“I LOVE working for YPTC because there is always something new and challenging to be done. There is definitely no time to get bored.
“I get to work with several different organizations at once – all of which are doing really important things for our communities. It's exciting to get to play a role in these projects – and feel like I am contributing to their missions.
“My clients treat me like I am part of their team. It's the best of all worlds – while I am made to feel as though I am a part of the staff, I am left out of the office politics and gossip because I'm only there long enough to get my job done.
“Eric and Jen truly care for us as staff – and are committed to us enjoying our work while providing a high level of service to our clients. Our benefits have improved each year and I have been given opportunities to grow professionally while still having the time and flexibility to be a parent and have an active role in my life, my family's lives, and our extra-curricular activities.”
– Heidi Pelczar
“I came to YPTC after working with for-profit organizations throughout my accounting career. Eric’s concept was attractive to me for two reasons:
“First, the YPTC concept allows for multiple clients to be serviced by an associate within a week’s schedule. It suits my personality to not be at the same desk day in and day out. This offers what I really liked about my years in public accounting, without the long hours.
"Second, I would be working with organizations which were intrinsically tied to their mission statements. Profit was not the ultimate reason for the ED to wake up each day and go to work. This colors so much of the atmosphere in a work environment and has made for many gratifying work relationships.
“What keeps me here is the challenge of new concepts with a growing organization. When I start to think I may have worked on something for longer than it would suit me, Jen and Eric have offered something new that can be a learning opportunity and a challenge. I feel fortunate to say that I still love what I do!”
– Anna Jungclaus
“Working for YPTC gives me the chance to help nonprofit clients who have worthwhile missions and provide critical services. I get great personal satisfaction from knowing that the services we provide are important and appreciated by our clients.
“I enjoy working with our network of bright, articulate, professional colleagues. The independence, flexibility and variety in the work schedule are real bonuses!”
– Sara R. Botoff
“I have worked for Your Part-Time Controller for ten years now, and I couldn't imagine myself working anywhere else. I can honestly say that in ten years I have never been bored at YPTC! I don't have the experience of doing the same tasks month after month. I face new challenges all of the time and get the coaching and mentoring needed from Eric and Jen.
“When I left on maternity leave, I was given flexibility with my return to work. I have since returned to full time but have enough vacation time that I get to spend quality time with my son. YPTC offers a great work-life balance ethic and they truly support such a work environment.
“I love working at YPTC because we truly care about helping nonprofits succeed in their missions. This, to me, is both personally and professionally satisfying.”
– Suzanne D'Angelo
“I came to YPTC in 2009 after 12 years in public accounting, and found this work to be a lot less stressful. One of the major benefits over public accounting and auditing is that in my previous career my clients dreaded seeing me, but at YPTC they enjoy seeing me. On my birthday recently, they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me – that was a treat!
“I enjoy the hands-on nature of the work, and I love the variety: I’m exposed to a lot of different types of nonprofit organizations. The YPTC staff has been friendly, receptive and welcoming to me, and there’s a great mentoring program.”
- Anthony Flacco, CPA
“I like working for YPTC because where else can an accountant get paid for every hour that you work? I don't have to work overtime with nothing to show for it. I also like 7-hour days. (I guess you can tell that I worked in public accounting for too many years.)
“I like the variety of going to different clients; it keeps things interesting. My clients are always happy to see me and they are glad I am there.
“With different clients, it is usually not possible to know everything, and that is okay because YPTC has training classes and there is always someone I can ask when I have a question. Even though I may not work with another YPTC employee on a daily basis, I don't feel alone because someone is always available when needed.”
– Vivian Fitzgerald

“When I was working for a Philadelphia CPA firm, I audited a YPTC client, a nonprofit arts center for which YPTC performs the accounting functions. On my first day of the audit a YPTC staff member handed me an "audit binder" containing the financial statements, supporting schedules and all the documentation that I needed for the audit.
“I was so impressed with YPTC's work and responsiveness during the audit that when I decided to leave public accounting I sent my resume to YPTC. I now feel that I have finally landed with an organization that is a good fit for me.”
– Barbara J. Smith

“I was initially attracted to YPTC many years ago because of the ability to work a flexible schedule that would also allow me to be involved with my children’s school and extracurricular activities (whether they liked it or not).
“Since then, I have been fortunate to be able to provide financial services for a wide variety of nonprofit organizations, each with unique and worthwhile missions. Being able to help these organizations with the many challenges they have faced over the years has been very rewarding.
“Working together with their vibrant leaders, combined with the excellent training provided by YPTC, has resulted in emotional rewards and a higher degree of professional growth that I had not experienced in organizations prior to my time with YPTC.”
