Head of Finance & Accounting

Head of Finance & Accounting

Salary: $170,000 - $185,000



Office Situation: 100% Remote | Preference for Mid-Atlantic candidates | Occasional travel


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


If you're a CPA who enjoys being hands-on, partnering with leadership, and making a meaningful impact, this is a rare opportunity to lead the finance function for a mission-driven national organization. You'll have a seat at the table while still staying close to the business, improving processes, mentoring your team, and influencing strategic decisions.


Highlights include:

• 100% remote with flexible work arrangements
• Opportunity to shape systems, processes, and future structure of the department
• Strong culture with collaborative, supportive colleagues
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), company-paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, employee assistance program, technology reimbursement and professional development allowance
• Generous PTO, paid sick leave, personal days, and 10 federal holidays, plus paid winter break
• Stable organization with a long-standing national reputation

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the finance and accounting function for a nonprofit organization with multiple revenue streams
• Partner with executive leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning
• Oversee grants accounting, audit activities, financial reporting, and compliance
• Mentor and develop a team of accounting and operations professionals
• Drive process improvements and systems optimization initiatives
• Collaborate with leadership to improve efficiency and support organizational goals
• Manage cash flow, reporting, and financial analysis
• Support board reporting and executive decision-making

Qualifications:

• Requirements:
  • Active CPA
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance leadership experience
  • Nonprofit accounting experience
  • Director-level leadership experience or higher
  • Grants accounting experience
  • Experience with multiple revenue streams, including grants, contracts, and fee-for-service activities
  • Strong communication skills and a hands-on leadership style
  • Passion for mission-driven organizations
• Preferred:
  • Foundation or philanthropic grants experience
  • NetSuite and Planful experience
  • Systems integration and process improvement experience
  • Background in education, healthcare, associations, or other mission-driven organizations

This search is moving quickly. If you're looking for an opportunity where you can make a visible impact, work with great people, and help shape the future of an organization while enjoying the flexibility of a remote environment, we'd love to speak with you.
