- Well-funded, stable nonprofit with a long-standing national mission and strong financial footing
- Outstanding benefits, including an employer-funded pension + 403(b)
- Annual professional development budget
- Calm, collaborative leadership environment
- Opportunity for a Controller or Senior Controller ready to step into a first CFO role

Key Responsibilities

- Balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day financial execution
Qualifications - Active CPA
- 8+ years of progressive finance or accounting leadership experience
- Experience owning budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and audit oversight
- Demonstrated ability to manage and develop a finance/accounting team
- Board, Finance Committee, or Audit Committee interaction
- Comfortable in a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves CFO role
- Strong communication skills and high professional integrity
- Willingness to be in office Tuesday - Thursday (hybrid schedule is firm)
- Preferred (Not Required):
- Nonprofit, foundation, or mission-driven organization experience
- Military-adjacent background or strong connection to service-oriented causes
