Santa Fe, New Mexico | Full-Time | In-Person
The New Mexico Association of REALTORS® (NMAR) is seeking an experienced Manager of Financial Services to serve as the organization’s day-to-day finance leader. This is an opportunity to take ownership of accounting operations, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, internal controls, and financial strategy while working directly with the CEO, Treasurer, Finance Committee, and executive leadership.
We are looking for someone who can see beyond the numbers—someone who can analyze financial and economic trends, identify risks and opportunities, and translate complex financial information into clear recommendations that help leaders make smart decisions.
