Chief Financial Officer - part time
Masis Professional Group is recruiting for a part time CFO for a small Worcester-based non-profit organization. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who enjoys taking ownership of the accounting function, cleaning up processes, improving financial reporting, and helping leadership get accurate, reliable financial information.
This organization has a small team, so this person should be comfortable being directly involved in the day-to-day accounting work. This is not a people management role. The CFO will report to the Executive Director and will play an important role in strengthening accounting processes, internal controls, audit readiness, and overall financial operations.
Responsibilities

- Handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll-related accounting.
- Preparing financial reports for leadership and the Board.
- Reviewing current accounting processes and helping clean up existing issues.
- Strengthening internal controls and improving accounting workflows.
- Supporting annual audits and preparing schedules and documentation for outside auditors.
- Assisting with budgeting, forecasting, and budget-to-actual reporting.
- Tracking restricted and unrestricted funds, grants, and program-related expenses.
- Helping ensure compliance with GAAP, nonprofit accounting standards, and applicable reporting requirements.
- Using Excel to analyze, organize, and explain financial information clearly.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have strong accounting experience and the ability to work independently in a smaller organization. This person should be comfortable identifying issues, improving processes, and helping leadership understand the financial picture.
Qualified candidates should have:
- At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience.
- Strong experience with general ledger accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close.
- Advanced Excel skills.
