Manager, Budget & Accounting

Phoenix, AZ

Step Into a High-Impact Finance Leadership Role

Ready to move beyond the numbers and influence real business decisions?

This newly created, high-visibility role is your opportunity to become the trusted right hand to the Finance Director at a thriving, well-established organization. You'll play a key role in shaping financial strategy, driving budgeting decisions, and advising executives at the highest level.

If you're a CPA who is motivated, wants visibility, impact, and a seat at the table where decisions are made, this is your moment.

Why This Role Stands Out

· Direct exposure to C-suite executives and Board members

· Strategic partnership with the Finance Director-not just a support role

· Opportunity to build and shape a brand-new position

· Clear path to expanded leadership and influence

· Join a stable, collaborative culture with long-tenured professionals

What You'll Do

• Partner closely with the Finance Director to drive budgeting, accounting, and strategic financial initiatives
• Prepare and deliver board-level presentations and executive insights
• Confidently tackle complex financial and operational questions
• Lead financial planning, forecasting, and analysis efforts
• Mentor and grow a small team (1-2 direct reports over time)
• Leverage ERP systems (Deltek preferred, others welcomed)

What You Bring

· CPA (required)

· Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or related field (MBA a plus)

· 8+ years of progressive experience in accounting/finance

· Proven experience presenting to senior leadership and Boards

· Strong executive presence-you're confident, articulate, and influential

· Leadership mindset with prior supervisory experience

· Background in government environments = major plus

Culture & Work Style

• A collaborative, mission-driven organization that values teamwork
• Strong culture of tenure, trust, and connection
• In-office first 6 months to build relationships and ramp up
• Transition to hybrid (3 days remote) after in-office training and ramp up

Compensation

· $115K - $145K+ base (flexible for the right candidate)
