POSITION: CFO (NON-PROFIT)
LOCATION: HARTFORD, CT - HYBRID (3 Days In Office / 2 Days Remote)
RECRUITER CONTACT: KELLEIGH MARQUARD - Kelleigh.Marquard@roberthalf
Robert Half is partnering with a valued client, a mission-driven social services nonprofit, in search of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This organization has served Connecticut communities for decades and provides behavioral health, addiction recovery, and community-based programs for adults and adolescents. The CFO will join the executive team and oversee all financial operations while helping guide strategy and long-term sustainability.
Reporting to the CEO, this role requires a hands-on leader who can balance strategic oversight with day-to-day execution in a collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Provide financial leadership for a nonprofit with approximately $20M in revenue and 200 employees. Lead all accounting and finance operations including monthly close, financial statements, budgeting, and forecasting. Prepare and present financial reporting to leadership and the Board. Oversee accounts payable, receivable, billing, and payroll. Manage cash flow, banking relationships, and internal controls. Oversee reporting for government contracts and funding sources, including state agencies. Serve as the primary contact for external auditors and manage the annual audit. Oversee self-insured benefits programs and liability insurance. Manage financial activity related to affiliated entities. Evaluate and improve financial systems, including an upcoming system conversion. Lead and mentor the finance team and partner with leadership on growth initiatives and new programs.
Leadership and Culture:
The ideal candidate is hands-on, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Strong analytical and communication skills are required, along with the ability to present to executive leadership and boards. The organization values a positive attitude and team-oriented mindset.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Mission-driven organization with strong community impact. Stable and well-respected nonprofit with long tenure across leadership. Flexible hybrid schedule. Excellent benefits including no-cost medical, dental, and disability coverage, 403(b) with employer contribution and match, generous paid time off including 4 weeks vacation, holidays, sick, and personal time.
