A well-established and rapidly growing educational institution in South Florida is seeking an experienced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead its centralized finance operations.

This is a unique opportunity to join a mission‑driven institution at a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory. The CFO will provide strategic financial leadership while maintaining a hands‑on approach, overseeing a finance team and ensuring fiscal responsibility across all operations.

The ideal candidate will bring both financial expertise and the interpersonal skills needed to bridge the gap between finance and education, working collaboratively with academic leadership and educators who may not have financial backgrounds.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Financial Leadership

  • Provide comprehensive financial oversight for a multi‑division educational institution with centralized finance operations
  • Prepare and present monthly financial reports to the Executive Board
  • Develop annual budgets and multi‑year financial forecasts to support institutional growth
  • Conduct cash flow analysis and maintain financial sustainability
  • Support the institution's campus expansion and real‑estate portfolio management

Team Leadership & Operations Management

  • Oversee centralized finance office managing accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, grants accounting, and tuition collections
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of finance professionals
  • Foster a collaborative, high‑performing finance culture with both strategic vision and attention to operational detail
  • Systems & Process Improvement

  • Champion the continued implementation and optimization of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and accuracy across finance operations

  • Navigate and strengthen systems during a period of finance team evolution
  • Cross‑Functional Partnership

  • Translate complex financial information for non‑finance stakeholders, particularly educators and academic administrators
  • Partner with division leaders (early childhood, elementary, high school) to support their budget management
  • Help educators understand and operate effectively within their allocated budgets
  • Build strong working relationships across all levels of the organization
  • Required Qualifications

  • Proven experience as a CFO, Finance Director, or senior financial leader in a nonprofit school or educational institution
  • Demonstrated leadership capability with willingness to operate at both strategic and hands‑on levels
  • Strong technical expertise in :

  • Budgeting and financial forecasting
  • Cash flow analysis and management
  • Financial reporting and board‑level presentations
  • Oversight of accounts payable, accounts receivable, controller functions, grants / general ledger accounting, and tuition / collections operations
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to explain financial concepts clearly to non‑finance professionals
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively with educators and academic leadership
  • Humility and collaborative mindset—able to listen, adapt, and work within an established institutional culture and leadership structure
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field
  • Benefits

    Salary Range : $150,000 - $200,000+ annually.

  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
  • Exceptional candidates with distinguished track records may be considered at higher compensation levels
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Equal Employment Opportunity

    Both Keller Executive Search and our clients are Equal Opportunity Employers. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, skin color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, age, protected veteran status, disability, genetic information, or any other legally protected status.
