Why This Controller Opportunity Stands Out


This Controller opportunity offers the chance to step into a leadership role within a mission-driven, non-profit organization overseeing a complex, multi-fund accounting environment. The Controller will partner closely with executive leadership to drive financial strategy, ensure compliance, and strengthen internal processes.


What makes this Controller role compelling:


• High-visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
• Opportunity to oversee a full accounting function across multiple funding streams
• Ability to influence policies, processes, and financial strategy
• Stable organization with strong community impact
• Leadership role with team development and cross-functional collaboration


This Controller role is ideal for a hands-on accounting leader who enjoys both strategic oversight and operational execution.




Key Responsibilities of the Controller


• Oversee all accounting operations including general ledger, AP/AR, payroll, and fixed assets


• Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, including internal and external statements


• Develop, implement, and improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls


• Lead audit processes and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors


• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis in partnership with leadership


• Oversee procurement and contract-related financial processes


• Partner cross-functionally to ensure alignment across departments and financial operations


• Lead, mentor, and develop accounting staff to drive performance and accountability


• Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable regulatory requirements




Qualifications for the Controller


• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field


• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with leadership responsibilities


• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting


• Experience in multi-entity, government, or non-profit accounting environments preferred


• CPA or advanced degree is a plus


• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills


• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment




Work Environment


• Collaborative, mission-driven organization


• Opportunity to work closely with leadership and influence decision-making


• Hybrid flexibility depending on business needs




This Controller opportunity is best suited for a strong accounting leader who wants to make an impact, lead a team, and drive financial excellence within a structured and purpose-driven organization.
