Job description

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

This is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity for a senior-level finance professional who can quickly assess operations, stabilize processes, and provide strategic financial guidance.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned finance leader who thrives in complex environments, can independently uncover issues, and is comfortable stepping into situations that require both strategy and execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct a full assessment of the organization's financial operations, reporting structure, and internal processes
  • Perform financial forensics and identify areas of risk, inefficiency, or lack of visibility
  • Review and evaluate current billing structures, contracts, and financial workflows
  • Partner with leadership to provide immediate operational and financial support during organizational transition
  • Strengthen and mentor existing accounting/finance staff while identifying process gaps and training opportunities
  • Ensure continuity of day-to-day financial operations while helping create structure and accountability
  • Analyze financial statements and provide recommendations for improved reporting and controls
  • Jump in quickly with minimal ramp-up time and operate autonomously

Ideal Background

  • Extensive experience in senior financial leadership roles, including CFO-level responsibility
  • Strong background in financial operations, process assessment, and organizational turnaround/support
  • Ability to perform both strategic analysis and hands-on financial work
  • Experience navigating complex contract and billing environments
  • Nonprofit industry experience is highly preferred, but not required
  • Proven ability to work independently, build trust, and quickly gain control of financial operations during periods of change

Additional Details

  • Hybrid schedule flexibility
  • Immediate need with quick interview/start process
  • Pay range is $65-75/hour
  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact within an organization undergoing transformation
