The CFO will be a key partner in maintaining the financial operations, providing insightful reports and analyses, and establishing procedures to ensure the organization's fiscal health. This role requires a highly skilled and experienced financial executive with a background in high-level management, particularly in nonprofit or cultural institutions. The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, familiar with generally accepted accounting principles, and possess strong interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills.

The CFO will be expected to work closely with the Executive Director, the Board, and various departments to manage budgets, financial reports, and strategic goals. Additionally, the role involves overseeing IT and records retention, supporting retail operations, and managing relationships with external partners.
