Lead finance for a growing nonprofit making a direct impact on family homelessness.

Family Promise of Spokane is seeking a strategic, hands-on Finance Director to lead our finance function during an

important stage of growth.

The Finance Director serves as the organization’s senior finance leader and works closely with the CEO, leadership team, Finance Committee, and Board of Directors. This position is responsible for financial strategy, accounting operations, budgeting, forecasting, grant financial management, internal controls, reporting, audit preparation, and finance team leadership.

This is an opportunity for a nonprofit finance professional who enjoys both strategy and execution — someone who can advise at the board level while also strengthening the day‑time systems that keep the organization financially healthy and accountable.

What You’ll Do

The Finance Director will lead and strengthen the organization’s financial operations, including:

• Serve as the primary financial advisor to the CEO, leadership team, Finance Committee, and Board.


• Lead budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, financial analysis, and long‑term financial modeling.


• Prepare clear, accurate, and useful financial reports for leadership and the Board.


• Oversee accounting operations, including month‑end close, reconciliations, AP, AR, payroll coding, general ledger accuracy, and financial statements.


• Strengthen internal controls, purchasing processes, documentation standards, approval workflows, and financial procedures.


• Lead grant financial management, including restricted funds, reimbursement requests, spend‑down tracking, allowable costs, reporting deadlines, and compliance.


• Help prevent underutilization, returned grant funds, coding errors, missed deadlines, and delayed billing.


• Support audit preparation, Form 990 review, funder monitoring, and compliance requirements.


• Build dashboards and reporting tools that make financial information clear and actionable.


• Supervise, coach, and develop finance staff.


• Participate as a member of the leadership team in an EOS‑aligned environment, including scorecards, Rocks, issue‑solving, and accountability rhythms.


• Partner across departments to support program operations, staffing decisions, grant requirements, and organizational growth.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a nonprofit finance leader who is strategic, practical, collaborative, and highly accountable. You should be comfortable leading financial conversations with executives and board members while also improving systems, solving problems, and supporting staff.

Strong candidates will bring:

• Significant nonprofit finance, accounting, or fund accounting experience.


• Experience with government grants, restricted funds, reimbursement‑based funding, grant reporting, and compliance.


• Strong understanding of internal controls, reconciliations, audit preparation, financial reporting, and nonprofit accounting practices.


• Experience developing budgets, forecasts, dashboards, cash flow projections, and variance analysis.


• Ability to explain financial information clearly to non‑finance audiences.


• Experience supervising or developing accounting or finance staff.


• Strong spreadsheet skills and experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting systems.


• Excellent judgment, confidentiality, follow‑through, and communication skills.


• Ability to work both strategically and hands‑on in a growing organization.

Preferred Experience

• CPA, CMA, MBA, MPA, or relevant advanced credential or equivalent experience.


• Experience in a nonprofit organization with approximately $5M–$15M+ in annual revenue.


• Experience bringing outsourced accounting functions in‑house or strengthening internal finance infrastructure.


• Experience in housing, homelessness services, social services, behavioral health, or government‑funded nonprofit programs.


• Experience with grant management systems such as KarmaSuite.


• Experience working in an EOS‑aligned organization.


• Experience presenting to or supporting a nonprofit Board of Directors or Finance Committee.

Why This Role

This is a strong opportunity for a finance leader who wants more than a traditional accounting role. The Finance Director will help shape the financial infrastructure of a growing nonprofit, support strategic decisions, strengthen grant stewardship, and build systems that allow Family Promise of Spokane to serve more families effectively.

You’ll be joining an organization where financial leadership directly supports mission impact — helping ensure resources are aligned, accountable, and ready to meet the needs of families experiencing homelessness.
