💡 About The Community Lighthouse (TCL)

At The Community Lighthouse (TCL) , we’re on a mission to heal the world—one child, one family at a time . We empower families, professionals, and communities to break cycles of trauma and build lasting change—starting from within.

We are a for-profit, privately owned behavioral health company based in New Mexico—and we’re scaling fast. With bold growth goals and an expanding statewide presence, we’re building a financial team and systems that match our ambition.

We're seeking a strategic finance partner to support our growth and help build a world-class finance function from the inside out.

This role sits between a Controller and a CFO . You’ll manage day-to-day finance operations, while building systems, coaching the team, and guiding strategic decisions from the inside out.

💼 What You’ll Do

• Serve as a strategic finance partner to leadership — turn data into insights that drive growth
• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, dashboards, and scenario models
• Analyze financial and operational trends to uncover risks and opportunities
• Create reports and tools that make complex data clear, visual, and actionable
• Lead and implement financial policies, systems, and internal controls as we scale
• Coach and develop the bookkeeper into a Controller-level leader
• Support margin improvement and cost-efficiency projects
• Help shape our financial strategy, investment decisions , and readiness for Medicaid changes
