Chief Financial Officer | East Tampa, FL | Competitive Salary + Bonus + Full Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to step into the CFO seat at a well-established, mission-driven nonprofit and serve as the right-hand financial partner to the CEO. The outgoing CFO is retiring after a long tenure, creating this need for a hands-on, credentialed finance leader who can get up to speed quickly. You will join the senior leadership team with full ownership of accounting, finance, cash management, grants and contracts, insurance, benefits and more, leading a small team. The organization operates across multiple locations with financial complexity including government-funded programs, regulatory compliance, and collections-intensive AR — all areas where your experience will have immediate and tangible impact. Hybrid position based in East Tampa. If you are a CPA with strong and stable nonprofit accounting background with like-kind experience, we’d love to hear from you.

• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulatory requirements applicable to the organization's programs and funding streams
• Oversee insurance, employee benefits administration, and related organizational risk management functions
• Evaluate current systems, processes, and internal controls; identify and implement improvements that strengthen the finance function and support the team's effectiveness
