  • Translate complex data into clear, accessible reports and materials.

    • QUALIFICATIONS

  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and bring 7+ years of progressive experience, including at least 4 years as a Controller or senior finance leader in a nonprofit with a $7M+ budget.
  • Have 3+ years of experience managing and developing people, and you thrive on building strong, accountable teams.
  • Are fluent in GAAP, nonprofit accounting, and compliance.
  • Hands-on experience with federal and state contracts, audits (including Single Audits and multi-entity), and tax-exempt industry practices.
  • Strong organizational skills, accuracy, and attention to detail.
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills with strategic thinking ability.
  • High technology acumen, including proficiency in Sage Intacct (or similar), advanced Excel, and familiarity with Salesforce or other integrated cloud systems.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to explain financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders.
  • High personal accountability, integrity, and sound judgment, bringing a collaborative and diplomatic approach.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with competing priorities.
