Job description

Description
Join Our Team at Christ Church!
At Christ Church, every role matters because every team member matters. When you join our staff, you're not just accepting a position; you're stepping into a calling where your work directly impacts lives and supports our mission of "Uniting People to God and People to People."
We're looking for our new Accounting Director - a strategic, detail-oriented, and mission-driven financial leader with a passion for stewardship, operational excellence, and building strong financial foundations that allow ministry to thrive. If you love leading teams, strengthening systems, improving processes, and using your financial expertise for a purpose bigger than numbers, this is your opportunity to help advance a mission that changes lives.
Why You'll Love Working Here
As the Accounting Director, you'll be at the center of Christ Church's commitment to stewarding resources with excellence, integrity, and purpose. Your work goes far beyond financial statements and spreadsheets - you'll help create the foundation that allows ministries to grow, leaders to make wise decisions, and our mission to move forward.
This role is strategic, collaborative, and full of impact. You'll lead accounting operations, strengthen financial systems, provide meaningful insights, develop team members, and partner with leaders across Christ Church and the broader Christ Church Ecosystem.
Here, your leadership doesn't just manage finances - it fuels ministry and makes growth possible.
  • You'll help ensure resources are managed with wisdom, excellence, and integrity.
  • You'll work alongside a supportive, innovative, and mission-focused team.
  • You'll build systems and processes that strengthen ministry for years to come.

What You'll Do
As the Accounting Director, you will lead six core areas that strengthen the financial health and operational excellence of Christ Church: Accounting Leadership & Financial Reporting, Internal Controls & Compliance, Audit & Financial Management, Financial Systems & Operational Excellence, Budgeting & Financial Analysis, and Team Leadership & Collaboration.
These core areas come to life through the practical, strategic, and collaborative work you'll lead:
  • Lead Accounting Operations & Financial Reporting: Oversee accounting operations across Christ Church and the Christ Church Ecosystem, including General Ledger management, account reconciliations, financial reporting, month-end and year-end close processes, and the accuracy and integrity of financial records.
  • Strengthen Internal Controls & Compliance: Develop, implement, and maintain financial policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), processes, and internal controls that safeguard organizational resources, promote accountability, and support sound financial stewardship.
  • Lead Audit & Financial Management Processes: Coordinate the annual audit process, partner with external auditors, maintain audit readiness, support compliance requirements, and ensure accurate financial documentation and reporting.
  • Drive Financial Systems & Operational Excellence: Oversee financial systems, reporting platforms, integrations, and process improvements. Partner with internal teams and external vendors to identify opportunities for automation, efficiency, scalability, and stronger financial operations.
  • Support Budgeting, Forecasting & Strategic Decisions: Partner with the Chief Financial Officer to support budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, reporting, and insights that help leaders align resources with organizational priorities.
  • Develop & Lead the Finance Team: Provide leadership, coaching, development, accountability, and support to Finance team members while fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, continuous improvement, and service.

Why This Role Matters
Every ministry moment at Christ Church is supported by faithful stewardship.
The Accounting Director plays a vital role in ensuring our financial foundation is strong, sustainable, and positioned for growth. Your leadership helps protect resources, strengthen systems, and provide clarity that empowers ministry leaders to focus on transforming lives.
Through your expertise, you'll help build the operational excellence needed to support today's ministry and prepare for what God has planned for the future.
What We're Looking For
A trusted financial leader who loves Jesus, values stewardship, and thrives in a collaborative, mission-focused environment. You are a strategic thinker, a skilled problem-solver, and a servant leader who brings both financial excellence and a heart for people.
You know that great financial leadership isn't just about managing numbers - it's about creating clarity, building trust, and helping teams accomplish a greater purpose.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required.
  • 7-10 years of progressive experience in accounting or financial management required.
  • Experience in managing mid-sized accounting operations, financial reporting, and month-end/year-end close cycles.
  • Experience developing and maintaining financial procedures, processes, and internal controls.
  • Experience providing leadership, oversight, or development of accounting/finance team members.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with leadership and across departments.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Other Characteristics
  • Strong knowledge of General Ledger management, financial reporting, budgeting, and account analysis.
  • Understanding of GAAP, nonprofit accounting practices, and internal controls.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, projects, and financial systems.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • High level of integrity, confidentiality, accuracy, and attention to detail.
  • Self-starter with strong ownership and accountability.
  • Must have a strong team-player mindset-the ultimate goal is the Team wins!

Preferred Qualifications
