The Business Controller upholds the school’s mission statement and manages the non-educational operations of the school on a day-to-day basis. The Controller is also responsible for managing school resources in a prudent manner, with a focus on long-term sustainability of the institution. The Controller is a senior administrator of the school and will provide valuable counsel and strategic vision to the Head of School and the Board of Directors.
Reporting to the Head of School, the Controller works closely with the chairs of the Finance and Facilities committees of the Board of Directors. The Controller serves on the administrative team and leads activities and personnel in the areas of the Business Office, Human Resources, and Facilities.
Specific Responsibilities
Financial Planning, Accounting, and Investment Management: Lead the annual budget process, monitor and control operating expenses, forecast tuition income, and plan for employee compensation. The Controller is responsible for identifying and implementing best accounting practices, internal controls, audits, the submission of tax returns, and management of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, cash flow, investment accounts and assets, and banking relations.

Characteristics & Skills
For the Controller position, we seek someone who embodies five key characteristics—a sincere and consistent faith in Jesus Christ, competence in the field of finance, collaboration with colleagues, professionalism in all interactions, and a reflective practitioner. In addition, the Controller should be a natural problem solver and strategic thinker with strong conceptual and analytical abilities. The Controller should be a self-driven, hands-on administrator. The successful candidate will be focused on results and possess a strong business acumen, integrity, and judgment. The candidate will display exceptional interpersonal and communication skills that will result in earned respect from the faculty and administrative team, the Head of School, the Board of Directors, and families.
Credentials & Education
An undergraduate degree and experience in a related field are required; an MBA, CPA, or other advanced degree is preferred. The successful candidate will have a minimum of five years of broad-based finance experience. While familiarity with an independent school is a plus, finance officers with corporate, non-profit, or higher education experience that are mission oriented and passionate about education also will be considered.
