ABOUT THE ROLE:

BAYCAT is seeking a Finance Manager to lead the organization’s day-to-day finance, and accounting functions to better serve and integrate with our operational needs and funding and program cycles. This role will ensure BAYCAT maintains accurate financial records, strong financial controls, timely reporting, and the improvement of systems to support effective operations for the organization and its staff.

The Finance Manager will own core accounting functions including accounts payable and receivable, monthly close, reconciliations, cash flow projection, budgeting, grant and funder financial reporting, payroll, and internal project management of the annual audit, which is presently contracted out with an external firm.

This role will also provide guidance of how BAYCAT’s existing office and administrative operations can streamline for financial accuracy and efficiency, ensuring that facilities, workplace systems, vendors, purchasing, and day-to-day operational needs are effectively managed and fiscally responsible. The Finance Manager partners closely with the Executive Director, the Development team, the People and Operations Manager, and the Board Finance Committee.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can move comfortably between detailed financial work, operational problem-solving, staff oversight, and providing the leadership team and the Board of Directors with up-to-date and reliable financial information. While the current organizational need is not for a 40-hour/week role, there could be room to grow for a fiscal leader that supports the improved systems approaches for the team to build internal capacity.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH:

• 5–7+ years of progressively increased responsibility in finance, accounting, operations, or related experience
• Strong hands-on experience managing AP, AR, reconciliations, and accounting operations
• Working knowledge of GAAP, nonprofit fiscal compliance, and managing grants on an accrual-basis
• Nonprofit finance experience or strong knowledge of restricted funding and grant reporting
• Experience supporting organizational budgets and budget-to-actual reporting
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate, timely financial records
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities independently
• Strong communication skills and ability to make financial information understandable to non-finance colleagues
• Comfort working in a small organization where strategic thinking and hands-on execution go together
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and maintain consistent communication and responsiveness
• Ability to translate financial information for staff, leadership, Finance Committee members, and the Board and provide practical guidance and training to non-finance stakeholders
• Ability to collaborate cross functionally and advise as needed to establish clear priorities and accountability
• Ability to identify operational gaps, develop practical solutions, and ensure work is carried through to completion
• Preferred: Experience working with City of San Francisco and/or state of California agency and governmental funding sources, particularly in the most recent fiscal year (2025-2026), and an appreciation for the policy changes and challenges impacting reimbursement-based funding and increased fiscal compliance and oversight
