Mass Bankers is a 120-year-old diversified trade association that serves approximately 120 banks in Massachusetts, as well as dozens of Associate members. The association's primary purpose is to provide advocacy at the state and federal levels to its members, along with offering quality products and services that enhance the interests of those members - ranging from its insurance trust to educational seminars. In terms of size, diversity of offerings, and overall reputation, Mass Bankers is widely regarded as one of the top state banking associations in the country. The association’s revenue comes primarily from membership dues, educational conferences and seminars, and affiliate offerings. As a non-profit, the association is governed by a board of directors, with elected board officers.

Reporting to the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) will join a collaborative leadership team and play a key role in the ongoing evolution of this important and multifaceted trade group. In addition to the overall financial management of the association, the CFO will oversee the finance and accounting functions of the association’s subsidiaries and charitable foundation, as well as those of other state associations. The role will involve presenting to, and collaborating with, the Board of Directors on a regular basis and liaising with key external partners, including but, not limited to, audit and law firms and the financial advisor responsible for Mass Bankers’ investment portfolio.
