CFO / Executive Director Step Into Purpose – Be the Financial Anchor During a Time of Growth Our nonprofit client—an organization deeply committed to making a meaningful impact in the community—is looking for an experienced
Interim Controller
to guide their financial operations through a period of transformation. This is your opportunity to lend your expertise where it truly matters: supporting programs, people, and a powerful mission. The
Interim Controller
will step into a hands‑on leadership role during a critical transition, ensuring financial integrity, clarity, and compliance while enabling the organization to stay focused on its purpose. You’ll be a cornerstone of trust and structure as the team continues to expand its reach and impact. Your Role as Interim Controller
Oversee day‑to‑day accounting activities (AP, AR, GL, payroll, reconciliations) with precision and care. Take full ownership of the month‑end close process—timely, clean, and mission‑aligned. Produce accurate, insightful financial reports that empower leadership to make data‑driven decisions. Partner with program and operational leaders to align budgets with real‑world outcomes. Manage internal controls, budgeting processes, audit readiness, and cash flow forecasting. Identify and implement process improvements that support sustainability and compliance. Serve as a financial liaison to leadership, funding partners, and stakeholders. Travel once per month to satellite locations across Illinois (mileage reimbursed). What Makes You the Right Fit
A Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA is a plus). 5+ years of progressive experience in nonprofit accounting or financial leadership. Proven success as a Controller or Interim Controller—you bring calm, clarity, and expertise in times of transition. Deep knowledge of GAAP, fund accounting, budgeting, and compliance for nonprofits. Comfort with accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Blackbaud, etc.) and Excel. Excellent communication skills—you can translate numbers into strategy and story. A heart for mission‑driven work and a collaborative, humble leadership style. Why This Interim Controller Role Stands Out
Immediate Impact: Make a difference from day one by ensuring financial health for a mission that truly matters. Strategic Visibility: Be the key financial leader trusted by the board, donors, and leadership. Potential for More: This Interim Controller position could evolve into a long‑term leadership opportunity—or serve as a prestigious contract role in your portfolio. Supportive Culture: Work with a passionate, purpose‑first team that values integrity, inclusion, and service. Meaningful Work: Every spreadsheet, forecast, and report helps create real change in real lives. Ready to Lend Your Expertise Where It Matters Most? Apply today
