Job description

Fractional Chief Financial Officer (Nonprofit)

Northern Virginia (Alexandria) | Remote (Occasional Onsite)

Strategic Executive Leadership Opportunity

A nationally recognized nonprofit organization is seeking an experienced Fractional Chief Financial Officer to serve as a strategic advisor to the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Leadership Team, Board of Directors, Finance Committee, and Finance team.

This opportunity is ideal for an accomplished nonprofit CFO who enjoys building organizational capacity, modernizing finance functions, mentoring finance leaders, and helping organizations navigate growth, transformation, and long-term financial sustainability.

This is not a traditional outsourced accounting engagement. We are seeking an executive leader who will influence organizational strategy while strengthening financial operations, governance, reporting, and decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as strategic financial advisor to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, and Board of Directors.
  • Lead implementation of a Finance Transformation Roadmap.
  • Strengthen budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and scenario modeling.
  • Modernize Board reporting, executive dashboards, and financial analytics.
  • Improve financial processes, reporting, automation, and systems integration.
  • Mentor and develop the Director of Finance while strengthening the overall finance function.
  • Support annual budgeting, audit activities, cash flow planning, and financial sustainability initiatives.
  • Evaluate opportunities for revenue diversification and strategic investments.
  • Help executive leadership make informed financial decisions that support organizational mission and long-term growth.

Qualifications

  • CPA strongly preferred.
  • Significant executive leadership experience as a Chief Financial Officer or senior nonprofit finance executive.
  • Demonstrated success serving nonprofit organizations with complex funding models, grants, and fund accounting.
  • Deep knowledge of GAAP, nonprofit financial reporting, governance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Experience partnering with Boards of Directors and Finance Committees.
  • Proven success leading finance transformation initiatives, organizational change, and process improvements.
  • Experience developing Controllers and finance teams.
  • Preferred experience with Sage Intacct and nonprofit financial systems.
  • Experience implementing dashboards, automation, forecasting tools, and AI-enabled financial solutions.
  • Exceptional executive presence, communication, and relationship-building skills.

Work Arrangement

This is a hybrid role. Initially, this engagement will require a significant level of executive involvement to lead a finance transformation and strengthen the organization's financial leadership capabilities. As these initiatives are successfully implemented, the role will transition to an ongoing strategic executive advisory engagement focused on governance, financial stewardship, organizational sustainability, and executive leadership.

During the initial transition period, additional hours may be required to support implementation, organizational change, and finance transformation initiatives.

The selected executive should anticipate periodic travel to the organization's headquarters in Northern Virginia, including attending meetings with the CEO, participation in quarterly Board meetings, Finance Committee meetings, annual budgeting activities, strategic planning sessions, and other leadership meetings as needed. These expectations are consistent with the engagement structure outlined for the role.

Compensation

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, qualifications, demonstrated nonprofit executive leadership, and the agreed scope and level of engagement. The organization is committed to attracting an experienced strategic finance executive capable of leading organizational transformation and supporting long-term financial sustainability.

Why This Opportunity?

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of a respected nonprofit organization. The selected executive will work directly with the CEO and Board to strengthen governance, modernize financial operations, develop internal leadership capacity, improve organizational sustainability, and position the organization for long-term success.

To Apply Include:

  • Resume
  • Cover letter
  • Brief description of relevant nonprofit CFO and Board experience
  • Compensation expectations
  • Availability
Employment Type: PART_TIME
