Ready to bring your financial leadership to an organization where the work truly matters? A well-established, mission-driven institution is looking for a decisive, hands-on Controller to take ownership of its financial operations. This isn't about keeping the lights on. It's about shaping how the organization plans, grows, and serves its community for years to come.

This is a rare opportunity to be the finance voice in the room, reporting directly to the Managing Director and working closely with department leaders and the Finance Committee.

• The annual budget process, plus dashboards that give leadership clear, actionable insight
• The annual audit, as the primary liaison with external auditors
• Compliance across nonprofit accounting, donor restrictions and grant requirements
• Revenue tracking and reporting
• Payroll and HR administration, overseeing the full people operations picture

What makes you the right fit:

• 10+ years of progressive finance and accounting leadership
• A degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration or a related field; CPA and/or MBA a strong plus
• Nonprofit expertise, with fund accounting and restricted contributions squarely in your comfort zone
• Fluency in QuickBooks (Desktop and Online), Excel and PowerPoint
• A take-charge leader who brings structure, sees what needs to happen and makes it happen, while managing multiple priorities with ease

Why this role:

This is more than a stable, long-term platform for your career. The organization invests in its people and their families, with benefits designed to support you and your loved ones through every stage of life and growth.
