Overview 

JBNC is seeking a highly skilled and mission-driven Director of Accounting & Finance to strengthen and improve our financial operations. Reporting to the CFO, this is a unique opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role at a dynamic and diverse nonprofit. We need someone who brings a strong accounting background, thrives in day-to-day financial management, and is ready to both roll up their sleeves and grow into higher-level leadership over time. For the right candidate, this role is a natural stepping-stone to eventually assume broader leadership responsibilities as we continue to evolve. 

A Day in the Life 

Each day, you’ll manage the backbone of JBNC’s financial operations — overseeing cash management across eight interrelated companies, paying vendors, reconciling reimbursements, and ensuring timely, accurate reporting for leadership and funders. Works under the direction and leadership of the CFO to collaborate and support program directors and the accounting staff to address and problem-solve any challenges that may arise. You’ll balance structure and flexibility, leading the accounting team with a hands-on approach while guiding process improvements like transitioning to electronic vendor payments, upgrading financial workflows, and strengthening compliance practices. During peak times such as audits, you’ll be the steady presence ensuring accuracy, responsiveness, and professionalism under pressure. 

You Would Thrive in this Position If… 

• You bring deep accounting expertise (CPA or MBA preferred) and know how to apply it in a nonprofit, multi-entity environment. 
• You’re equally comfortable digging into details (like cash reconciliations or reimbursement tracking) and stepping back to see the big picture. 
• You’re a collaborative leader who values mentorship, coaching, and teamwork as much as technical excellence. 
• You embrace technology, process improvement, and creative problem-solving. 
• You can adapt to shifting priorities with calm and professionalism, balancing accuracy with responsiveness.
• You are mission-driven, eager to support JBNC’s work in the community while safeguarding and strengthening our financial foundation.
