As the organization continues to expand in scale, complexity, and innovation, the CFO will be a key architect of BRAFB’s financial strategy—strengthening infrastructure, modernizing systems, and ensuring the organization is positioned to maximize its impact across the region.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, serving on the leadership team and partnering closely with the Board of Directors and Finance Committee, the CFO will provide both strategic leadership and hands-on oversight of all financial functions. This is a highly visible role for a finance leader who thrives in dynamic environments, brings a change-oriented mindset, and serves as a trusted thought partner to senior leadership while maintaining exceptional financial discipline.

In addition to serving as the organization’s senior financial executive, the CFO also acts as Chief Compliance Officer, overseeing enterprise-wide compliance, risk management, and internal controls. This leader will guide ongoing financial systems modernization and help scale the finance team to support growing programs, increasingly diverse funding streams, and government and regulatory oversight.

  • The CFO will guide financial planning aligned with BRAFB’s strategic priorities and ensure that the investment portfolio and reserves are prudently managed to support both current operations and future growth. The CFO will bring a proven track record of financial leadership within complex organizations and will be equally comfortable diving into details and maintaining a big-picture view of organizational sustainability and growth.
• Governance, Compliance & Risk Management:
  • The CFO will ensure the integrity, accuracy, and transparency of BRAFB’s financial operations. This includes directing GAAP-compliant financial reporting; leading the annual financial audit; and ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, including government grants,
    ERISA requirements, and 501(c)(3) obligations.
  • The CFO will oversee enterprise risk management, internal
    controls, insurance coverage, and financial policies. The CFO will work closely with the Finance Committee and Board to provide clear, timely reporting and sound recommendations that support strong governance and responsible stewardship of resources.
• Systems Building & Operational Excellence:
  • The CFO will lead efforts to strengthen financial systems, processes, and standard operating procedures to support increasing organizational complexity. This leader will bring a strong systems orientation, experience with financial technology, and a change-management mindset to ensure efficiency, transparency, and consistency across the organization.
  • The CFO will play a central role in building the infrastructure needed to support long-term sustainability and operational excellence.
• People Leadership, Collaboration & Culture:
  • The CFO will be a coach and mentor who builds and develops a high-performing finance team. This includes assessing and evolving the structure of the finance function, and fostering a culture of accountability, learning, and continuous improvement.

• Innovation & Partnerships:
  • The successful candidate will be energized by BRAFB’s diverse and evolving funding model, including cash and in-kind donations, private and government grants, and innovative payment mechanisms such as Medicaid reimbursements.
  • The CFO will support financial oversight of sub-granting and food distribution across a network of more than 200 partner agencies.
  • The CFO will bring an entrepreneurial mindset to identifying opportunities for innovation in financial models, partnerships, and systems that expand impact while maintaining fiscal discipline.
• Passion for the Mission:
  • A deep commitment to ending hunger and advancing community well-being is central to this role. The CFO will be energized by BRAFB’s mission, values, and partnerships and motivated by the opportunity to steward resources in ways that expand impact.
  • A values-driven and collaborative leader, the CFO will bring a roll-up-your-sleeves mindset and thrive in BRAFB’s low-ego, team-oriented culture. Passion for BRAFB’s mission—nourishing food and good health
    for everyone, every day—will shape how this leader approaches stewardship, leadership, and long-term sustainability.

Additional Qualifications:

• • Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA required.
  • Extensive senior-level financial management experience, ideally within complex, multirevenue organizations.
  • Experience with investments, reserves, government grants, audits, and compliance.
