Vice President of Finance

Description

Shape the Future of Finance, Not Just Report on It

Atlantic Federal Credit Union is looking for a high-impact Vice President of Finance who wants to do more than maintain financial accuracy, we’re looking for a leader who will reshape how finance drives decisions, strategy, and performance across the organization.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where your influence extends far beyond traditional accounting. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and leadership, helping guide enterprise-wide priorities with clear, data-driven insight while building a modern, forward-looking finance function.

If you’re energized by turning financial data into action, influencing executive decisions, and building something better than what exists today, this role is designed for you.

Why This Role is Different

• From reporting to influencing: You won’t just close the books, you’ll help leadership decide where to invest, how to grow, and what to change.
• Enterprise visibility: Partner directly with the CFO and senior leadership team to shape strategy and outcomes.
• Build and evolve the function: You’ll have the autonomy to strengthen accounting, improve systems, and elevate finance as a strategic partner.
• Real impact on performance: Your insights will directly affect profitability, productivity, and long-term growth.
• Leadership opportunity: Lead, develop, and scale a team while influencing outcomes across the entire organization.

Ensure Financial Excellence

Lead and Build the Function

• Own Finance and Accounting outcomes end-to-end
• Develop and mentor a high-performing team
• Create structure, clarity, and accountability within the function
• Influence across the organization even without direct authority

What Success Looks Like

• Leadership teams actively rely on your insights to make key decisions
• Finance is seen as a strategic enabler, not just a reporting function
• Financial reporting is consistently accurate, timely, and audit-ready
