Mahler Private Staffing
Santa Monica, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/14/2026

This is a rare opportunity to step into a meaningful financial leadership role at a mission-driven organization where your work directly supports impact, stewardship, and long-term sustainability.


About the Role

As CFO, you will serve as a trusted partner to leadership and the Board, providing the financial clarity and discipline that allows the organization to focus on its mission. You will lead financial strategy, oversee day-to-day operations, and help build the systems and processes that will support the organization as it grows. This is a hands-on role that combines strategic thinking with operational engagement. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in evolving environments and is motivated by purpose.


What You Will Lead

  • Financial strategy, planning, and long-term sustainability
  • Board reporting, audit coordination, and stakeholder communication
  • Annual budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Grant and donor fund oversight, including restricted and unrestricted funds
  • Accounting operations, internal controls, and monthly close processes
  • Compliance, Form 990, and regulatory filings
  • Evaluation and implementation of accounting systems and workflows


Who You Are

You lead with integrity. You are measured and disciplined, but also a clear communicator who can translate financial complexity for non-financial audiences. You take pride in building strong foundations, you are organized and detail-oriented, and you are genuinely motivated by the opportunity to make a difference. Most importantly, you are in it for the long term.


Compensation & Terms

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, starting at $250K-$350K

Full-time, in-office role (Monday–Friday)

Standard benefits package including PTO and paid holidays
