ASI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and operates with a small staff of ~14 people. The majority of operations are outsourced, so this role carries significant scope and visibility. You'll manage real lines of business — Group Life & Health Insurance, Professional Liability, a Captive Insurance Company, and more — without the bureaucracy of a large corporate environment.

We're a values-driven team. We take our work seriously, support each other, and believe in doing the right thing — for our members, our profession, and each other.

Our DC office is centrally located and easily accessible by Metro, bus, and major commuter routes — no car required. This is a hybrid role with approximately 3 days in the office per week.

This role is more than a title upgrade. NASW Assurance Services, Inc. (ASI) is looking for a hands‑on finance leader who wants to own something — not just manage it. As our Director of Finance & Controller, you'll be the financial backbone of two mission‑driven organizations that serve America's social work profession. You'll work closely with the CEO and a lean, collaborative team where your work actually moves the needle.

If you're a sharp accounting professional ready to modernize a financial infrastructure, present to a Board, and still roll up your sleeves in Quick Books — this one's worth a closer look.

• Can move between detailed accounting work and higher‑level financial analysis.
