- Get allocation right. Oversee payroll cost allocation, ensuring payroll costs and invoices are correctly assigned to contracts, accounts, and budgets in line with regulatory standards.
- Turn data into decisions. Prepare monthly budget-versus-actual reports for each program, then review results with program managers and the CFO to control costs and maximize impact.
- Support grants and contracts. Help build annual program and funding source budgets, keep budget data current in the accounting system, and collaborate on new and renewal grant applications.
- Tell the financial story. Support the CFO in preparing Finance Committee presentations and agency-wide data collection reports.
