ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY: Director of Finance

This Director of Finance opportunity is perfect for a hands-on finance leader who wants more than routine close cycles and spreadsheets. The Director of Finance will join a mission-driven organization where finance plays a real role in shaping strategy, supporting growth, and strengthening community impact.

This is not a “sit in the back office” role. The Director of Finance will own core accounting operations, mentor a team, and work closely with senior leadership to ensure the organization is financially strong, compliant, and positioned for long-term success.

If you’re an Accounting Manager ready to level up into a Director of Finance role—or a current Director of Finance who still likes being close to the work—this role delivers both leadership and purpose.

WHY THIS DIRECTOR OF FINANCE ROLE STANDS OUT

  • Impact: The Director of Finance supports an organization making a tangible difference in the community every day
  • 401k: Employer contribution AND employer match!
  • Leadership Access: Work alongside a phenomenal CFO and executive team who value finance as a strategic partner
  • Balance: Flexible schedule, generous PTO, and paid holidays—yes, balance is respected
  • Stability: Well-established organization with strong leadership and long-term vision
  • Growth: This Director of Finance role is designed with future advancement and expanded scope in mind
  • Culture: Supportive, collaborative environment that values authenticity and teamwork

WHAT YOU’LL DO AS DIRECTOR OF FINANCE

  • Lead the month-end and year-end close
  • Oversee general ledger, AP, AR, payroll, and financial reporting functions
  • Manage, mentor, and develop the accounting support team
  • Prepare financial statements and reporting for leadership and Board review
  • Coordinate audits and ensure compliance with GAAP and regulatory requirements
  • Partner cross-functionally with billing and payroll to streamline processes
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and special projects alongside executive leadership
  • Federal and State grant reporting, compliance, and allocations

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE ROLE

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience (nonprofit experience highly preferred)

BOTTOM LINE

This Director of Finance role is ideal for someone who wants impact, leadership, and balance—without giving up meaningful, hands-on finance work. If you’re ready to step into a Director of Finance position where your work supports real people and real outcomes, this opportunity is worth a closer look.
