leadership in support of the school’s mission and future growth.
About the School
Green Hedges School is a leading coeducational, independent school in Vienna, Virginia,
enrolling about 170 students in PreKindergarten through Grade 8. Small by design, the school is
defined by close relationships, engaged learning, and a strong sense of community.
Founded in 1942, Green Hedges sits on a four-acre campus in the historic Windover Heights
neighborhood, with five buildings that support academic and administrative functions. The
school employs 50 full- and part-time faculty and staff and operates with an annual budget of
about $6 million.
The school is entering a period of significant evolution, including new leadership and a campus
master plan of new construction, expansion, and renovation that will shape its future for decades
to come, creating a compelling opportunity for strategic and operational leadership.
About the Role
The CFOO reports directly to the Head of School and collaborates closely with the school’s
seven-member Administrative Team, Board of Trustees, external auditors, and faculty and staff.
The role spans finance, accounting, human resources, IT, and facilities, with direct supervision of
key employees and contractors, including the Business Office Accountant, Facilities Manager,
and Information Technology Administrator.
A key early priority will be to assess and improve core financial processes, particularly annual
budgeting, accounting closes, financial reporting to leadership and the Board, financial controls,
audit readiness, and long-range planning.
Additional financial and accounting responsibilities include treasury, investment and loan
management, oversight of financial obligations and contracts, and support for strategic financial
decision-making.
Human resources responsibilities include payroll, benefits administration in partnership with a
broker, employee onboarding, and maintaining personnel policies and procedures.
