Reporting directly to the CEO, this role plays a key role in budgeting, forecasting, audit coordination, grant and funding reporting, and financial process improvement.

While prior nonprofit experience is strongly preferred , the organization will also consider candidates from professional services environments who bring strong technical accounting, audit, and compliance experience.
