About United Way of Anchorage
At United Way of Anchorage (UWA), we unite people, ideas, and resources to build a community where everyone can thrive. We bring people together, use real data, and work on the challenges no single organization can solve alone—across Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, and Healthy Community. We also operate Alaska 211, the statewide information and referral service that connects Alaskans to health and human services resources and tells us in real time what’s not working for families. The CFO plays a central role in that work—ensuring the financial integrity and organizational sustainability that makes everything else possible.
The Opportunity
UWA’s financial picture is genuinely complex: restricted and unrestricted funds with fundamentally different stories, federal, state, and municipal grant compliance across multiple programs, workplace campaign pledges tracked in Andar 360 with accounting that flows into Sage Intacct, real property ownership, and statewide 211 operations. The Finance Committee expects clear, confident analysis—not just data delivery.
This is not a maintenance role. The right person will see that complexity as interesting and will serve as a true thought partner to the CEO and Board—explaining what the numbers mean, flagging what’s coming before it arrives, and helping the organization make decisions with financial clarity rather than financial anxiety. This role also carries senior accountability for human resources, overseeing HR service delivery whether through an outsourced partner, internal HR staff, or a combination of both.
What You Will Do
Own the Financial Picture:
- Lead all budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning—and translate results into clear, decision-ready analysis for the CEO, SLT, and Board
- Prepare and present monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements; own the narrative, not just the numbers
- Maintain GAAP compliance and all applicable nonprofit accounting standards across restricted and unrestricted funds
- Manage the annual audit and serve as primary liaison to external auditors; prepare and file the IRS Form 990
- Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and payroll processing
Navigate Grant and Restricted Fund Complexity:
- Manage financial compliance across federal, state, municipal, and foundation grants—including drawdowns, budget tracking, and funder reporting
- Monitor restricted fund utilization against budget and proactively flag variance before it becomes a problem
- Partner with program staff to ensure grant financials reflect what’s actually happening on the ground
Manage Campaign and Development Finance:
- Account for workplace campaign revenue in Sage Intacct as pledge data flows from Andar 360, ensuring accurate recognition across restricted and unrestricted funds
- Reconcile payroll pledge deductions to receipts and resolve variances with the appropriate internal teams
- Coordinate with the VP of Development on revenue projections and full-year campaign financial outlook
Serve as a Credible Voice to the Board:
- Be the primary staff resource to the Finance Committee—not just a preparer of materials, but a confident, independent voice on UWA’s financial health
- Prepare board-level financial presentations that respect the intelligence of the audience and drive decisions rather than just reporting activity
- Manage investment and cash strategy in coordination with UWA’s investment manager and in alignment with Board-approved policy
Lead the Human Resources Function:
- Serve as UWA’s senior point of accountability for human resources, overseeing HR service delivery whether through an outsourced partner, internal HR staff, or a combination of both
- Manage the HR function’s budget and ensure staff and leadership have access to timely, reliable HR support
- Partner with the CEO on workforce planning, compensation decisions, and organizational structure—bringing financial analysis to people decisions
- Ensure HR functions—benefits administration, compliance, and employee relations support—are delivered in accordance with applicable law and UWA policy
- Oversee payroll processing and ensure accurate integration between payroll systems and the general ledger
What You Bring
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA strongly preferred
- Five or more years of progressive financial leadership experience, with meaningful nonprofit fund accounting in the mix
- Real fluency with restricted grant management and federal, state, and municipal compliance—not just familiarity
- Demonstrated ability to present financial information clearly to non-financial audiences, including boards
- Proficiency with accounting software (Sage Intacct or equivalent) and Microsoft 365
- Experience managing vendor relationships or supervising staff in an administrative or HR function
Preferred:
- Prior CFO or Controller experience in a nonprofit with a budget of $3M–$10M
- Experience with workplace campaign accounting or United Way financial systems
- Familiarity with ADP or comparable payroll/HR platforms
- Experience managing a building or real property as part of an organizational finance function
What We Are Looking For
Beyond the technical qualifications, we are looking for someone with a specific set of instincts. You are curious about what numbers mean, not just what they say. You give the Finance Committee the real picture, even when it is complicated. You are comfortable in a small organization where the work is varied and the team is lean. You push back when something doesn’t add up, and you own it when you’re wrong. You see the HR function not as an administrative burden but as part of how an organization builds and sustains the team that makes the mission possible.
Key competencies: financial acumen and integrity • board-level communication • analytical thinking • vendor and staff management • attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture • collaborative leadership in a small, high-accountability team • adaptability

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Financial Officer
Align your credentials to U.S. standards
Your Australian three-year bachelor's degree in finance or accounting is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized body before your employer starts the LCA.
Target employers with established finance teams
Focus on U.S. companies with dedicated treasury, accounting, or corporate finance departments. These employers already have HR and legal infrastructure to handle DOL Labor Condition Applications, which reduces friction when you raise E-3 sponsorship.
Search for E-3 roles using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork once you have an offer. Migrate Mate manages the process end-to-end, from DOL certification to consulate preparation, so you're not navigating the paperwork alone.
Frame sponsorship as a low-cost employer benefit
When raising the E-3 with hiring managers, explain that it involves no lottery and no employer-side quota risk. Financial officers are scarce enough that most U.S. finance teams will file once they understand the process is straightforward compared to H-1B visa.
Confirm your role meets specialty occupation requirements
The DOL and USCIS require that the Financial Officer role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Roles blending general management with finance oversight can fail this test, so review your job description before accepting an offer.
Prepare for LCA wage level scrutiny
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Senior Financial Officer titles often map to wage Level III or IV, so confirm your offered salary meets that threshold before the LCA is filed.
E-3 Visa Financial Officer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Financial Officer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find Financial Officer roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. Because the E-3 has no cap or lottery, many finance employers who won't consider H-1B candidates will sponsor an E-3. Search by role and filter for Australian-eligible positions to surface relevant listings.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Financial Officer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Financial Officer positions typically qualify as specialty occupations because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field. Roles that accept any degree or substitute significant experience for education can face USCIS scrutiny. A well-drafted job description that specifies the required field is the most important protective step your employer can take.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Australian Financial Officers?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens, has a separate 10,500-per-year allocation that has never been exhausted, and carries no lottery. An H-1B requires entering a randomized selection process with roughly a 25 percent chance of being chosen in recent years. For an Australian Financial Officer, the E-3 is the more predictable and faster path to U.S. employment authorization.
Can I change Financial Officer employers while on an E-3?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. if your current stamp has expired. If you're already in the U.S. and your new employer is ready to file, you can begin work once the new LCA is certified and both parties have the supporting documentation in place.
