  • Lead annual audit preparation and serve as primary liaison to external auditors.
  • Maintain and strengthen internal controls across the finance function.
  • Support annual budget development and periodic forecasting in partnership with the CFO.
  • Ensure compliance with restricted fund accounting, donor-imposed restrictions, and grant reporting requirements.
  • Oversee accounting for investments and endowment activity.
  • Manage cash flow monitoring and treasury functions.
  • Oversee fixed asset and capital project accounting.
  • Support Form 990 preparation and other regulatory filings.
  • Evaluate and improve accounting systems, processes, and documentation.
  • Manage the annual 401(k) plan audit process, including auditor coordination, contribution reconciliations, audit documentation, Form 5500 support, and resolution of audit findings to ensure compliance with ERISA and IRS requirements.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including supervisory experience.
  • Nonprofit or museum/cultural institution accounting experience strongly preferred, including fund accounting and restricted gift tracking.

Key Qualifications:

  • Experience with capital project or construction accounting a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP, nonprofit financial reporting, and internal control frameworks.
  • Proficiency with financial systems (e.g., Sage Intacct, bill, ramp or similar); advanced Excel skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with development, HR, and museum leadership.
  • High degree of integrity, discretion, and attention to detail.

Our Core Values:

  • Act with Integrity: We are honest and ethical.
  • Build Inclusivity: We create spaces where everyone can feel like they belong.
  • Communicate Respectfully: We listen intentionally and advocate for diverse perspectives.
  • Embrace and Drive Change: We are innovative, creative, and solutions driven.
  • Foster Connections: We collaborate around shared goals.
  • Maintain Balance: We encourage ourselves and each other to reflect and recharge.
  • Remain Curious: We pursue personal and professional learning.
