Public Safety Credit Union is now seeking a strategic, analytical, and hands‑on leader to serve as our next Chief Financial Officer. This is a chance to guide the financial strength of a credit union with a proud legacy and a clear mission. The CFO will oversee accounting, budgeting, investment management, asset/liability management, payroll administration, and financial reporting. This leader will balance strategic vision with active involvement in day‑to‑day operations, ensuring financial strength, regulatory compliance, and sound stewardship on behalf of members.

Reporting to the President/CEO, the CFO will serve as a key advisor to the CEO, the senior leadership team, and the Board of Directors. The CFO will partner across the organization to support strategic decision‑making, strengthen financial governance, and align financial operations with the credit union’s mission, values, and growth objectives.

At Public Safety Credit Union, our commitment goes beyond banking.
