Board Member — Finance & Treasurer Track

Casa Milagro | Santa Fe, NM | Volunteer Board Position

Casa Milagro is seeking a new Board member with experience in finance, accounting, banking, financial management, or nonprofit finance.

Casa Milagro provides supportive, long-term housing and community in Santa Fe. As we strengthen our Board, we are looking for someone who can help directors maintain strong financial oversight and better understand the organization's financial position, risks, and long-term sustainability.

This is a governance and oversight role, not a bookkeeping position.

What you would help with

The Finance-focused Board member would help the Board:

• Review monthly financial statements and budget-to-actual results
• Understand cash position, reserves, material variances, and financial risks
• Participate in annual budget review and approval
• Provide appropriate oversight of accounting and financial controls
• Communicate effectively with Casa Milagro's outside accountant and auditor
• Help the Board ask the right financial questions
• Support development of clear, sustainable financial policies and practices
• Participate in broader Board governance, strategy, fundraising, and organizational oversight

The right candidate may eventually be interested in serving as Board Treasurer, but new members are not expected to assume an officer role immediately. We want candidates to first learn the organization and determine whether the role is a good fit.

Ideal backgrounds

We would particularly like to hear from:

• CPAs and accountants
• Controllers, CFOs, or finance directors
• Bankers and financial-services professionals
• Nonprofit finance professionals
• Business owners or executives with strong financial-management experience
• Retired professionals with relevant financial experience

Prior nonprofit experience is helpful, but not required.

Commitment

• One regular Board meeting per month
• Advance review of financial and Board materials
• Approximately 2–4 additional hours per month, with somewhat greater involvement during budgeting, audits, or special financial projects

Santa Fe or northern New Mexico candidates are preferred, but qualified remote candidates may also be considered.

Board service is voluntary and unpaid.
