Full Job Description

Position Summary

The Finance & Grants Controller is ART INC’s senior financial steward and compliance authority, responsible for accurate financial management, strong internal controls, and full compliance across all grants and contracts. This Board-facing leadership role integrates controller-level financial oversight with grant compliance leadership, managing the full financial cycle, from budget development through reporting, while strengthening infrastructure and reducing reliance on external accountants.

Operating as a solo senior finance leader, the Controller oversees daily finance operations; prepares and reviews budgets; produces weekly cash flow reports; manages and submits PFRs; monitors restricted and unrestricted funds; and ensures all reporting is timely, compliant, and audit-ready. The Finance & Grants Controller presents directly to the Board Finance Committee and provides independent, candid financial and compliance guidance in partnership with the CEO.

This role works closely with the CEO, CIO, Chief Operations & Program Officer, Board Treasurer, grant writer, and external accountants (CLA) to safeguard ART INC’s financial integrity and support long-term, scalable growth.

Key Responsibilities

Grant Finance & Compliance

Develop and manage budgets for state, federal, foundation, and corporate grants.
Own CSA reporting, grant narratives, and compliance calendars.
Track restricted/unrestricted funds and allocations.
Ensure timely and accurate submission of all grants financial reports.
Prepare, submit, and track PFRs for all grants.
Enforce compliance with 2 CFR 200 and other funder requirements.

Financial Oversight & Controls

Serve as ART INC’s internal Controller, maintaining strong financial systems and internal controls.
Manage monthly closes, reconciliations, and internal financial statements.
Create and maintain weekly cash flow reports with actionable analysis for leadership.
Lead audit preparation and serve as the point of contact with auditors.
Implement systems that reduce reliance on external accountants while ensuring accuracy.
Present financial updates and compliance reports to the CEO and Board.

Board & Executive Partnership

Provide independent, solution-oriented guidance to the CEO on financial risk, compliance, and strategic decision-making.
Partner closely with the CEO and Chief Operations & Program Officer to align budgets, cash flow, and compliance with organizational priorities.
Serve as a trusted advisor who can appropriately challenge assumptions and flag concerns early.

Strategic & Organizational Leadership

Partner with program staff and grant writer to ensure financial accuracy in grant proposals and program budgets.
Provide financial analysis to inform strategic decisions.
Train and guide managers on allowable expenses, budget tracking, and compliance.
Build scalable financial infrastructure to support ART INC’s future growth.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
7–10+ years of nonprofit finance experience, including grants compliance and budgeting.
Demonstrated expertise in 2 CFR 200 and government or state-funded grants.
Direct experience leading audits and managing funder financial reporting.
Experience presenting financial information to senior leadership and/or Boards.
Strong judgment, discretion, and ability to operate independently.

Preferred

CPA and/or nonprofit finance certification.
Experience in organizations with multiple funding streams and complex compliance requirements.
Prior experience stabilizing or rebuilding finance systems in a growing nonprofit.

What Success Looks Like

Clean, on-time audits with no material findings.
Accurate, timely PFRs and grant financial reports.
Clear, reliable cash flow visibility for leadership.
Reduced reliance on external accountants.
Increased confidence from the CEO, Board, and funders in ART INC’s financial management.

Why This Role Matters

The Finance & Grants Controller will relieve the CEO of day-to-day financial and grant compliance duties, reduce dependency on costly outside accountants, and strengthen ART INC’s transparency with funders, auditors, and the Board. By creating reliable cash flow reports, managing CSA and PFRs, and overseeing compliance, this role ensures that ART INC’s growth is sustainable and its mission is financially supported.
