Prior role as a Controller, CFO, or Director of Finance strongly preferred
Hands-on experience with higher ed ERP systems (Banner, Colleague, Workday, or Jenzabar)
Strong understanding of accrual accounting, grants management, AP/AR, tax reporting, and compliance
Exceptional communication skills and comfort working independently
Bachelor’s degree required; CPA or MBA preferred
Previous consulting experience a plus, but not required

Engagement Details

Project-based, consulting opportunity with varied hours and duration based on the client’s defined scope of work
1099 independent contractor role—ideal for professionals looking for flexible work
Remote work with potential for limited on-site engagements, depending on client needs
