You will work closely with the fractional Controller, fractional CFO, Finance team, program leaders, grants staff, vendors, and other internal partners to keep financial activity accurate, timely, organized, and ready to support reporting, audits, and decision-making.

The ideal candidate is someone who thrives on creating order, improving processes, managing deadlines, supporting staff, and maintaining strong communication across departments. This role will be especially important in stabilizing workflows, supporting continuity, and helping the Finance Department maintain reliable day-to-day operations.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and organize accounting workflows, with a strong focus on accounts payable and payment processing.
• Monitor invoices, approvals, vendor activity, deadlines, documentation, and recurring financial obligations.
• Support grant-related financial activity, including coding, documentation, reporting support, reimbursement records, and compliance-related financial files.
• Coordinate priorities, workload, coverage, and process consistency across assigned responsibilities.
• Identify discrepancies, missing approvals, duplicate invoices, deadline risks, documentation gaps, and control issues early.
• Partner with fractional finance leadership to ensure timely, accurate information is available to support month-end close, year-end close, audits, and financial reporting.
• Improve processes, tracking tools, checklists, procedures, and workflow visibility.
• Provide guidance, training, and possible supervision to assigned finance or accounting staff.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Strong accounting, accounts payable, finance operations, or related experience.
• Excellent organization, follow-through, accuracy, and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage competing deadlines and keep others informed of priorities and status.
• Comfort working with accounting systems, Excel, electronic records, and financial documentation.
• Sound judgment, confidentiality, professionalism, and strong communication skills.
• Experience with nonprofit, healthcare, behavioral health, grant funding, audits, or financial controls is helpful.
• Supervisory, lead, or workflow coordination experience is preferred.
