As we advance Accelerate New Mexico, our bold campaign to create lasting impact through education, research, health, innovation, and student success, we are seeking a strategic and values-driven Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to help shape the future of our organization.

  • Develop key financial dashboards and metrics to support strategic and Board decision-making

What We’re Looking For

We seek a collaborative and visionary financial executive with:

  • Proven success in senior finance leadership (CFO, Controller, or equivalent)
  • Deep expertise in accounting, financial strategy, and organizational stewardship
  • Experience with complex investment portfolios, including public and private equity
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, GASB, audits, tax compliance, and internal controls
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills
  • Experience working with governing boards and executive leadership
  • A leadership style grounded in collaboration, mentorship, and accountability
  • A passion for mission-driven work and organizational impact


Minimum Qualifications

  • CPA certification required
  • Minimum 10 years of progressive finance and accounting leadership experience
  • Experience with financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, tax filings, audits, and compliance
