Job Title: Director of Finance

Employment Type: Full Time

Compensation Range: $80,000 to $90,000

If you have a powerful desire to help others and positively impact the lives of youth, emerging adults, and families who have experience with the Michigan foster care system, you should join The New Foster Care’s (TNFC) team. TNFC is a Christian faith‑based organization whose mission is to make a transformative change in the Michigan Foster Care system and a measurable and meaningful impact in the lives of youth who have experienced foster care.

We accomplish this by partnering with the State and local agencies to develop, fund, and implement innovative pilot programs; researching and advancing policy and legislative action in the best interests of Michigan’s children; and providing direct service programs that change the trajectory of youth with experience in foster care.

TNFC’s main transition services program, The Bridge, serves youth and emerging adults (ages 14 to 29), assisting them to achieve greater self‑sufficiency and attain their goals along five transition domains (Employment & Career, Living Situation, Educational Opportunity, Community Life Functioning, Personal Effectiveness & Wellbeing). The program model utilizes a treatment team approach, with a Transition Navigator, Personal Wellness Coach, Peer Support Specialist, and Attorney (as needed) assigned to assist the client on their journey.

The Director of Finance is the senior, hands‑on leader of TNFC’s finance and accounting function and is responsible for the full, end‑to‑end execution and integrity of the organization’s financial operations. This is an individual contributor role with ownership of all accounting, financial reporting, grant financial management, compliance, and audit coordination activities.

The Director of Finance reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with a dotted‑line relationship to the Executive Director. The role operates with substantial autonomy in day‑to‑day execution while working within a defined oversight and escalation framework, with strategic guidance, review, and technical support provided by the CFO.

“Director” in this role denotes ownership of the finance function and its outcomes, not management of staff. In addition to responsibility for TNFC, the role may periodically support finance and accounting activities for other affiliated organizations or business entities within the broader organizational group, as directed by the CFO. Such support is expected to be hands‑on, time‑bound, and coordinated to ensure priorities remain clear.
