About the Role

CWS is seeking an experienced and versatile Chief Financial Officer to lead the organization's financial strategy, operations, and reporting, while also overseeing facilities management. This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who thrives in a nonprofit environment—comfortable balancing high-level financial strategy with the practical, day-to-day realities of running a small- to midsize organization.

Responsibilities

  • Financial Leadership:
    • Oversee all financial operations, including budgeting, forecasting, accounting, and cash flow management
    • Prepare and present financial statements, reports, and analysis to the Executive Director and Board of Directors
    • Lead the annual budgeting process and long-term financial planning
    • Ensure compliance with nonprofit accounting standards (GAAP/FASB), grant requirements, and regulatory requirements (990s, audits, etc.)
    • Manage relationships with auditors, banks, investment managers, and financial institutions
    • Oversee grant and contract financial management, including compliance and reporting for restricted funds
    • Develop and maintain internal controls and financial policies
    • Support the Board Finance/Audit Committee and provide financial guidance for strategic decision-making
  • Facilities Oversight:
    • Oversee maintenance, safety, and functionality of CWS facilities and physical assets
    • Manage vendor relationships, service contracts, and facilities-related budgets
    • Ensure compliance with building codes, safety regulations, and insurance requirements
    • Coordinate space planning, repairs, and capital improvement projects
    • Serve as point of contact for facilities emergencies and day-to-day operational needs
  • Organizational Citizenship:
    • Lend a hand wherever needed—this is a nonprofit, and every team member pitches in beyond their formal job description when the organization needs it, whether that's helping at an event, answering phones, or supporting a colleague in another department
    • Contribute to a collaborative, mission-first team culture
    • Take on special projects and other duties as assigned

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
  • Minimum of 7–10 years of progressive financial leadership experience
  • Experience with facilities or operations is a bonus
  • Strong knowledge of accounting and financial reporting
  • Proficiency with Excel and accounting software
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information clearly to non-financial stakeholders
  • A flexible, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset and genuine enthusiasm for mission-driven work

Benefits

  • Paid Time Off
  • Health Insurance
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • 403(b) Retirement Plan
