Role Description
We are looking for an experienced Controller to step in and own day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls for a nonprofit healthcare organization. This is a hands-on interim engagement for an accounting leader who is comfortable being the person the CFO relies on: closing the books accurately, keeping AP and AR running cleanly, and turning the numbers into something leadership can actually make decisions from.
Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance or business
-
5–7 years of accounting or finance experience — healthcare experience is not required
-
At least 3 years in a supervisory or management capacity
-
Strong working knowledge of accounting software, plus advanced Excel skills
-
In-depth knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting and regulatory compliance standards
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including presenting financial information to non-financial audiences
-
Must be able to provide or obtain an Arizona DPS Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card
-
Valid driver’s license, current auto insurance, and a driving record that meets organizational guidelines
-
Must be 18 years of age or older
Requirements
-
Employment is contingent on background checks, which may include fingerprint clearance, drug screening, criminal history, driving record, employment verification, education verification and professional references
Benefits
-
Real ownership from day one — you run the accounting function, not a slice of it
-
Direct line to the CFO, with visibility into how financial decisions actually get made
-
Small, focused team where your work is visible and your judgment carries weight
-
Mission-driven nonprofit environment — the money you steward funds services the community depends on
-
Predictable Monday–Friday, 8–5 schedule in a region with an unusually good cost-of-living-to-lifestyle ratio
-
Flexibility on work setting: on-site is preferred, but a remote support arrangement is on the table for the right person

Coordinate with external auditors through the annual audit and implement resulting recommendations
