Financial Controller

REPORTS TO:

Director of Operations & Finance

PAY RATE: $90,000 – $120,000 (commensurate with credentials and experience)

Reaching & Teaching exists to advance the gospel by partnering with local churches as they send qualified missionaries to make mature disciples, establish healthy churches, and train local leaders around the world. Every dollar entrusted to RTIM is given by churches and individuals who expect it to be handled with integrity, accuracy, and care. The Finance team sits at the center of that stewardship.

The Financial Controller leads RTIM’s accounting function in a season of significant growth, with a growing team of Global Workers on the field, a growing donor base, and expanding international entities. This role owns the general ledger, month-end and year-end close, fund and restricted-asset accounting, financial reporting, the annual audit, internal controls, and the accounting systems that hold it all together.

We are looking for a credentialed, experienced nonprofit accounting leader who brings authority and calm to complex questions, builds durable processes and documentation, develops the people around them, and can speak with weight to auditors, senior leadership, and the board. The right candidate sees accounting not as bookkeeping, but as the faithful stewardship of resources given for the sake of the gospel.

The Financial Controller will serve within the Finance Department, report to the Director of Operations & Finance, and provide direct supervision to the accounting team, including the Senior Accountants (full-time and part-time), Staff Accountants, Finance Administrator, and Finance Support Associate.
