Financial Management and Reporting

• Oversee the administration of all financial systems, internal controls, and accounting policies.
• Maintain and regularly update the fiscal procedures manual to ensure operational integrity.
• Ensure timely, GAAP-compliant reporting, including board reports, monthly financial statements, and annual audits.
• Lead the budgeting process in collaboration with program leadership, including cash flow forecasting and budget performance monitoring.

Medicaid and Billing Compliance

• Ensure ongoing compliance with Medicaid and state billing requirements tied to authorized services.
• Lead program-based billing activities and oversee reconciliation efforts with support from billing and program staff.

Labor Relations and Union Involvement

• Conduct financial modeling and scenario planning to evaluate wage proposals and benefits adjustments.
• Support a productive relationship between leadership and the union by collaborating with HR on labor-related financial strategy.

Benefit and Insurance Oversight

• Provide financial oversight of the Agency’s self-funded health and dental insurance plans.
• Monitor and manage the budgetary impact of benefits, including the pension and optional 401(k) plans.

Qualities of the Ideal Candidate:

The successful candidate is a mission-aligned leader with a deep understanding of nonprofit finance and a passion for operational excellence. They are:

• Technically proficient in nonprofit accounting, GAAP, budgeting, and financial forecasting.
• Experienced in overseeing Medicaid billing processes or managing other complex, government-funded service delivery models.
• Both a strategic thinker and hands-on operator who can roll up their sleeves to support daily financial operations.
• A collaborative leader who brings emotional intelligence, calm decision-making, and mentorship to the role.
• While a background in developmental disabilities is valuable, candidates from similarly structured nonprofit environments with related compliance and staffing considerations will be strongly considered.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a respected, community-oriented agency at a pivotal moment in its growth.
