Ready to step into a high-impact Controller role overseeing accounting operations for a $250M+ nonprofit organization? This is a unique opportunity to lead multiple finance teams, drive accounting integration efforts, and gain broad exposure across a complex, mission-driven enterprise.

Controller

Salary: $65.00-$75.00/hour depending on experience

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Lead the accounting function for an organization with a budget exceeding $250 million. • Gain exposure to multiple affiliates, grant-funded programs, and complex nonprofit financial operations. • Play a key role in a large-scale accounting integration following a merger. • Manage and develop established AP, GL, and budgeting/reporting teams. • Partner closely with executive leadership on financial reporting and operational improvements. • Expand your experience across audits, compliance, grants, and intercompany accounting. • Influence accounting processes and strengthen financial controls in a highly visible role. • Join a mission-driven organization where your work directly supports community impact.

Key Responsibilities for the Controller:

• Direct the monthly close and financial reporting process. • Lead and mentor AP, GL, and budgeting/reporting teams. • Oversee balance sheet reconciliations and fixed asset accounting. • Manage grant allocations, program expense allocations, and intercompany transactions. • Coordinate audit preparation and external audit support. • Support ongoing accounting integration initiatives following a merger.

Qualifications for the Controller:

• Nonprofit accounting experience, including grant and program expense allocations. • Proven leadership experience managing accounting teams. • Strong month-end close and financial reporting expertise. • Experience with balance sheet reconciliations and fixed asset schedules. • Advanced Excel skills, including lookup and conditional formulas.
