About the Role

The Company is in search of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join its senior administrative team. The CFO will be a key leader in the organization, responsible for a wide range of functions including business, finance, investment, facilities, human resources, risk management, and operations. This role demands an individual with a strong background in finance, accounting, and business, who can effectively manage the school's finances, set and monitor budgets, and ensure compliance with all financial regulations. The successful candidate will also be tasked with overseeing the school's staff, from recruitment to development, and must be adept at working with a diverse community, including faculty, staff, students, and the Board of Trustees. Applicants for the CFO position at the company should have a minimum of 10 years' experience in a leadership role within a financial or business environment, with a preference for those holding an advanced degree and a CPA. The role requires a professional with excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to inspire and lead a team, and a commitment to the values and mission of the organization. The CFO will be expected to have a proven track record in financial and business management, strong communication skills, and the ability to make sound decisions that consider the interests of all stakeholders. Familiarity with the unique challenges of managing the business operations of a non-profit organization and a residential high school is essential, as is a demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the ability to work with a wide range of community members.
