    Join Us in Ending Child Trafficking and Exploitation

    At Love146, our vision is bold: the end of child trafficking and exploitation. Nothing less. We journey alongside children impacted by trafficking today — and prevent it from happening to others tomorrow.

    If you’re a mission-driven financial leader who thrives on precision, systems thinking, and using your expertise to create real impact, this is your opportunity to make a difference.

    About the Role

    As Controller, you’ll be the steward of Love146’s financial health — ensuring accuracy, transparency, and efficiency across all financial operations. You’ll manage accounting and reporting, strengthen internal controls, and help scale our infrastructure as we grow.

    This is a key leadership role for someone who loves improving systems, collaborating across teams, and ensuring every financial decision reflects our commitment to protecting children and sustaining our mission.

    What You’ll Do

    Lead Financial Operations

    • Manage daily accounting and bookkeeping functions, including A/P, A/R, payroll, reconciliations, and monthly close.
    • Maintain accurate internal reports, statements, and dashboards to guide decisions.
    • Oversee compliance, internal controls, and audit readiness.

    Drive Budgeting, Reporting & Grant Compliance

    • Partner with programs and development teams to manage grant budgets and reporting.
    • Track restricted/unrestricted funds and ensure compliance with donor and grant requirements.
    • Prepare and analyze financial data to inform leadership and funders.

    Optimize Systems & Processes

    • Streamline workflows and reporting within Sage Intacct.
    • Collaborate with our outsourced accounting firm to ensure accuracy and automation.
    • Support department leaders with real-time budget visibility and forecasting tools.

    Support Strategic Financial Leadership

    • Deliver actionable insights, cost analyses, and sustainability models.
    • Lead audit preparation, risk management, and cash flow reporting.
    • Strengthen documentation and processes for long-term organizational stability.

    Collaborate & Mentor

    • Supervise bookkeepers, fostering skill growth and accountability.
    • Build financial literacy across teams through clear communication and support.
    • Model integrity, teamwork, and mission-aligned decision-making.

    What You Bring

    • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (required)
    • 6–8+ years of nonprofit financial operations experience, with 3+ in a Controller or supervisory role
    • Proven success managing complex funding streams (federal/state grants, private foundations, donor restrictions)
    • Deep knowledge of GAAP, fund accounting, and audit processes
    • Technical fluency with Sage Intacct and Microsoft Excel (required); Salesforce experience a plus
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills — especially with non-finance audiences

    Who You Are

    • Detail-oriented and systems-driven
    • Accountable and collaborative
    • Strategic and solutions-focused
    • Tech-savvy and adaptable
    • Mission-aligned and integrity-led

    Why You’ll Love Working Here

    We take care of our people so they can take care of others. At Love146, you’ll find a culture centered on well-being, flexibility, and purpose, including:

    • Comprehensive health coverage (employee contribution as low as 6%)
    • 20 vacation days, 10 sick days, and paid holidays
    • Paid sabbatical after 5 years of continuous employment
