What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Financial Officer position at ProSearch?
We are thrilled to collaborate with the Southern Maine Agency on Aging (SMAA) in the search for their next Chief Financial Officer. This is an exciting phase of growth and opportunity for the organization.
At SMAA, the mission is to ensure positive long-term outcomes for older Mainers. They empower older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers to achieve their fullest potential through a range of services, resources, and information. They are dedicated to fostering a workplace environment that is supportive and inclusive, where every voice is valued. They understand that cultivating a diverse and equitable organizational culture is essential for enhancing the impact they have within underrepresented communities.
The Chief Financial Officer will be the key leader responsible for overseeing all financial operations at SMAA. Reporting directly to the CEO, the CFO will collaborate closely with the leadership team and the Board of Directors to create and implement strategic initiatives across the organization. As a vital member of SMAA's leadership team, the CFO will guide and optimize the finance and administrative framework to adapt to the changing landscape of a dynamic and results-oriented organization, driving significant growth over the next 3 to 5 years.
The CFO will ensure that SMAA has the systems and procedures in place to support effective program implementation and conduct flawless audits. The CFO will oversee all day-to-day finance operations and support all compliance and recognition for government (Federal and State) grants and private foundation grants. The CFO manages a team of three and has responsibility for accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and grants management.
The ideal candidate has a strong desire to take full ownership of assigned projects, can work well independently, is equally proficient with day-to-day activities and long-term strategizing, and thrives in a deadline-driven environment.
