Reporting directly to the President/CEO, this role is responsible for the credit union's general ledger, month-end close, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, internal controls, audits, regulatory reporting, cash management, investments, asset/liability management, and electronic services operations.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced accountant or finance professional who is ready to take ownership of an accounting environment, lead a team, and grow into broader credit union operations.

• Support cash management, liquidity, investments, and asset/liability management (ALM)
• Partner with the President/CEO and leadership team on financial planning and decision-making
• Communicate financial information to leadership and the Board
• Lead and develop accounting and electronic services team members
• Oversee electronic services, including ACH, debit cards, ATMs, online banking, mobile banking, bill pay, mobile deposit, eStatements, and payment operations

What You'll Bring

• Strong accounting experience in general ledger, reconciliations, financial reporting, and month-end close
