Position Summary
Fellowship Recovery is seeking an experienced Finance & Accounting Manager to oversee and strengthen the organization's financial operations as we continue to grow. This position will play a critical role in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting strategic decision-making, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing oversight of multiple funding sources, including Housing Support funding.

The Finance & Accounting Manager will partner closely with the CEO, Human Resources, Operations, Billing, and our external CPA to develop sound financial processes, improve reporting, and ensure the organization's financial health.
