  • Partner cross-functionally to support programmatic and fundraising initiatives
  • Lead and develop a high-performing finance function

  • Deep expertise in nonprofit finance, compliance, and governance
  • Strategic thinker with strong operational execution skills

  • CPA strongly preferred (or equivalent advanced financial credential)
  • Demonstrated experience working with Boards and Finance Committees
  • Expertise in financial planning & analysis, audit oversight, and internal controls
  • Experience managing complex budgets and multiple funding streams
  • Familiarity with nonprofit accounting systems (Financial Edge preferred)

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS (BENCHMARKED)

The anticipated compensation for this role is competitive and commensurate with experience, aligned with national benchmarks for nonprofit CFO positions within similarly sized and complex organizations in the education and arts sector.

  • Base Salary Range: $170,000 - $185,000
  • Potential Additional Considerations:
    • Performance-based incentive or retention bonus (where applicable)
    • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
    • Retirement plan participation
    • Paid time off and institutional holidays

The final compensation package will be determined based on experience, credentials, and demonstrated impact in comparable leadership roles.
