Controller

Description

I'm excited to be partnering with a highly recognizable New York City nonprofit organization with approximately $150M in annual budget that is looking to add a Controller to its growing finance leadership team.

This is a newly created role reporting directly to the Head of Accounting and offers the opportunity to help drive accounting operations, strengthen processes, and support the continued growth and complexity of the organization. The Head of Accounting is also interested in upcoming Sn. Acct. Mgr. and Asst Controllers to step up into this position.

The finance team is comprised of several professionals with Big 4 public accounting backgrounds and CPA credentials, creating a highly technical, collaborative, and development-oriented environment.

Ideal background:

✔ Public accounting foundation (Big 4 or larger national/regional firm highly preferred)

✔ CPA or Parts Passed are required

✔ Strong nonprofit accounting experience is required, including financial reporting, audits, compliance, and fund/grant accounting

✔ Experience managing close, internal controls, and accounting operations

✔ Ability to partner with senior leadership and contribute strategically beyond the debits and credits

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys mission-driven work but also wants the sophistication, pace, and professional rigor typically found in top-tier accounting organizations.

As always, this is a permanent, full time, fully benefited salaried position (this is NOT a temp role or temp to perm).

They are located in midtown and are in the office 3 days and remote 2 day.

Compensation Package based on experience:

Base: $165 - $190k base

Exceptional communications skills are required. A great dynamic personality and the ability to work along your fellow colleagues is crucial. He or she must be able to effectively collaborate with individuals both inside and outside the company.
