Director of Finance and Controller

Open Dor Media is looking for a Director of Finance and Controller to own the accounting and finance function of a global, mission-driven nonprofit with an operating budget of approximately $20 million and growing, with staff across the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.

This role is perfect for someone looking to grow beyond the traditional Controller seat into a true leader and partner to division heads and the CFO. This is a very exciting time for ODM and the finance department as we have just completed a migration from Quick Books Online to the IES ERP platform, modernized our accounts payable workflow in , and are midway through a baseline global corporate governance and compliance review across all jurisdictions.

The foundation has been built, and this role will be able to continue the building of the finance department into a well-oiled machine.

Built for Growth!

ODM's CFO role is a part-time engagement, so this position carries more real ownership than the title usually implies. It is not a CFO role, and we want to be precise about the line.

This role owns outright: the general ledger and close, consolidated GAAP statements and the technical positions behind them, the internal control environment, day-to-day management of the audit and Form 990, non‑U.S. accounting and compliance, the mechanics of the budget and forecast cycle, cash, AP and AR, the systems stack, and leadership over the finance team. This role will serve as the primary finance partner to several program divisions and act as the senior finance voice on day‑to‑day operating decisions.

The CFO retains: Board and Finance Committee ownership, the final budget and multi‑year plan submitted for approval, investment and reserve strategy, institutional relationships and finance policy approval, and the finance voice in executive and donor strategy.

The future!

We are hiring for the role as described, and we expect the first year to be spent doing it well. That said, the scope is deliberately built to expand. ODM is growing, the CFO seat is part‑time, and the person who owns the close, the audit, and the control environment cleanly, while earning the trust of division heads and the Board, will be well positioned for broader financial leadership as the organization scales.

We don't want to attach a title or a date to that, but we want to make sure we are transparent about the possibilities available to the right person.

Accounting, close, and financial reporting

• Own the general ledger and chart of accounts across all entities and locations, including the integrity of all data flowing into the ERP from integrated systems and feeds.
• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close calendar. Deliver a complete, reconciled close on a defined timetable, with final accountability for reported actual results.
• Prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for nonprofit organizations, with meaningful variance analysis against prior period, forecast, and budget.
• Own revenue recognition for contributions, grants, and earned revenue, including conditional versus unconditional contributions, donor restrictions, and release of restricted net assets.
• Prepare the recurring reporting package for the CEO, program and functional leaders, the Board, and other constituents, and stand behind the numbers in it. The CFO presents to the Board and Finance Committee; you join those meetings as needed.

Global finance and multi‑jurisdiction compliance
