Job description

Our client is hiring a strategic financial executive to anchor the fiscal future of a high-impact nonprofit organization. You will partner directly with the Chief Executive and Board of Directors to translate complex funding streams into sustainable community growth. This seat demands a sharp technical mind capable of balancing mission-driven agility with rigorous federal compliance.

What You’ll Own

• Orchestrate annual operating budgets, multi-year financial forecasts, and cash-flow modeling across diverse grant and philanthropic revenue lines.
• Navigate federal funding compliance under OMB Uniform Guidance, ensuring audit-ready tracking for organizations expending over the $1 million Single Audit threshold.
• Spearhead the annual external audit and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) preparation alongside independent audit partners.
• Architect internal financial controls, cost-allocation methodologies, and automated reporting systems that protect organizational integrity.
• Direct the accounting and finance team while mentoring program leaders on grant spend-downs and departmental budget accountability.
• Strengthen board-level financial reporting by delivering clear variance analyses and strategic risk assessments during quarterly committee meetings.

What We’d Like

• Active Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license in good standing.
• Relevant years of experience leading nonprofit finance, fund accounting, and federal grant administration.
• Related background managing Single Audits, Uniform Guidance compliance, and complex restricted-fund reporting.
• Executive communication style that turns dense balance sheets into actionable strategic choices for non-financial leaders.

Why This Role

You step into the top financial seat at a mission-first organization where every dollar you protect directly expands real-world impact. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO and Board gives you immediate visibility and the autonomy to modernize how this institution scales. If you want your technical CPA mastery to drive measurable social good rather than corporate margins, this is your seat.
