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
