Benskin & Hott Talent Partners is proud to partner with Epworth Children & Family Services on a national search for a Chief Financial Officer based in St. Louis, Missouri.
This is not a traditional CFO role; it is a high-impact leadership opportunity at a pivotal moment.
Epworth, a 160-year-old nonprofit serving vulnerable children, youth, and families across the St. Louis region, is seeking a financially astute, mission-driven leader to help stabilize and rebuild its financial foundation during a period of transformation.
The incoming CFO will step into a turnaround environment with full Board support and clear authority to act, leading efforts across cash flow management, receivables, audit readiness, and financial operations, while serving as a key strategic partner to leadership.
What makes this role compelling:
- Mission-driven work with deep community impact
- Direct visibility and partnership with the Board
- A clear mandate to lead change and build sustainable systems
- Opportunity to shape the long-term future of a legacy organization
We are seeking candidates with:
- Proven nonprofit financial leadership experience, ideally in turnaround or restructuring environments
- Expertise in accounts receivable, grant compliance, and audit management
- Strong communication skills and the ability to bring clarity and transparency to complex financial situations
- A hands-on, collaborative leadership style
This is a rare opportunity for a CFO who wants to do meaningful work, lead through complexity, and leave a lasting impact.
📍 Location: St. Louis, MO (on-site)
