• Fully onsite Controller role with direct visibility to the Executive Team and Board of Directors
• Stable, long-standing organization with a strong reputation and supportive leadership
• Comprehensive benefits package including excellent health coverage, tuition reimbursement, and generous PTO
• Opportunity to work in a values-driven, inclusive environment that prioritizes quality of care, collaboration, and professional growth

Key Responsibilities for the Controller:
• Oversee daily accounting operations, including General Ledger, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Payroll, Cash Receipts, and Fixed Assets
• As a Controller, they'll manage monthly and annual close processes in compliance with GAAP
• Supervise and mentor an accounting team of 8–10, fostering collaboration and continuous improvement
• Prepare accurate, timely internal financial reports and statements for leadership and the Board
• The Controller will maintain and improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Coordinate the annual audit process, ensuring all required schedules and documentation are prepared
• Lead budgeting processes—operating and capital—and partner with department heads to review financial performance
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory reporting requirements, including 990s, 1099s, state cost reports, and sales tax filings
• Oversee investment tracking, cash management, and restricted fund reporting for grants and donations
• Assist with financial presentations for Executive Leadership and special projects as assigned

Qualifications for the Controller:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; CPA preferred
• 5–10 years of relevant accounting experience
• Strong knowledge of GAAP
• Proven ability to communicate complex financial information to individuals without a financial background
• Collaborative leader with strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

This is a high-impact opportunity for a skilled and mission-driven Controller who thrives in a collaborative, community-focused setting and is eager to make a lasting difference while leading a strong accounting team.
