Controller / Accounting Manager

About the Company:
Our client is a rapidly growing non-profit organization who are looking to add a Controller / Accounting Manager to their team. The organization has enjoyed incredible success in the last few years' and are seeking a candidate with a similar accounting background within a non-profit to join their team as they continue their expansion.
Sage 50 experience is required.

Reasons to Work Here:

• $400 a month towards benefit package
• Blue Cross / Blue Shield medical
• Life insurance
• Strong mission
• Growth opportunities – organization is growing heavily too
• Long term employees – stable

The Role: We are seeking a hands-on Controller who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves as they are providing financial leadership. This is not a back-office manager position — we need someone who can do the work (bookkeeping, reconciliations, reporting) while also designing systems, providing strategic insight, and guiding financial operations across the organization and its subsidiaries.

The Controller will be responsible for all accounting and finance functions, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and financial stability while also improving systems to support a growing nonprofit. This role reports directly to the Executive Director and works closely with property management and facilities staff to support our affordable housing mission.

If you’re looking for a Controller position where you’re not just pushing paper or delegating, but truly building, improving, and executing, this is it. You’ll play a direct role in strengthening a mission-driven organization to those who need them most.

Responsibilities:

Accounting & Finance

• Enter and oversee daily financial transactions using Sage, ensuring accurate records for the agency and properties.
• Handle AP/AR, payroll, general ledger, reconciliations, and monthly/annual closings.
• Prepare timely and accurate financial statements and grant/donor reports.
• Manage cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, banking, contracts, and compliance.
• Lead annual audits for all subsidiaries and implement corrective actions as needed.

Leadership

• Serve as a trusted member of the leadership team.
• Lead financial strategy while remaining hands-on with daily operations.
• Supervise and mentor business office staff, modeling a “do the work” culture.
• Collaborate with program and property management staff to align financial practices with organizational goals.
• Present financial information to the Treasurer, Finance Committee, and Board.

Operations

• Oversee IT planning and ensure systems support organizational needs.
• Strengthen and maintain internal controls, policies, and compliance systems.
• Improve processes and reporting tools to enhance efficiency and transparency.

Qualifications:

• 7–10 years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with at least some in a nonprofit or mission-driven organization.
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, business, or related field; CPA or MBA strongly preferred.
• Proficiency with accounting software (Sage a plus).
• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution — you’re as comfortable building a forecast as you are entering journal entries.
• Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Highly motivated, dependable, and proactive.

Working Conditions: This position operates in an office environment with potential hybrid. Occasional local travel for meetings, conferences, or site visits. May require periodic overtime.
