    Description

    Nuclear Fusion Events (NFE) is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit

    developing public-education programming around Energy, Ecology, and

    Consciousness — connecting audiences to renewable energy, environmental

    stewardship, and community wellbeing in partnership with the music and

    festival world.

    Our board is seated and functioning. The Treasurer role is currently held

    on an interim basis, and we are recruiting an experienced finance

    professional to take it on permanently as we formalize governance ahead

    of our first fundraising cycle.

    What you'd own:

    • Review and sign off on quarterly financial statements and

    budget-to-actual reports

    • Advise on financial controls, reserve policy, and expense approval

    thresholds

    • Review and co-sign the annual budget before board approval
    • Provide guidance on nonprofit financial compliance (990 readiness,

    restricted vs. unrestricted funds)

    • Liaise with our accounting firm once retained; until then,

    sanity-check bookkeeping maintained by the Founder and President

    What this role is not: day-to-day bookkeeping, tax filing, or audit prep —

    that sits with our accounting firm once retained.

    Ideal background: CPA, controller, finance director, or equivalent.

    Nonprofit board experience a plus but not required — we need someone

    comfortable reviewing statements and asking good questions.

    Process: candidates are elected to the board and to the officer role by

    the existing board. Unpaid volunteer position, standard for nonprofit

    boards.

    This is a board seat with real influence on financial governance as we

    move into active fundraising.
