We are looking for an analytical, forward-thinking leader to join CCFW as our
Director of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) . Reporting to the CFO, this role will help shape the organizations future through long-range planning, forecasting, scenario modeling, and decision support, ensuring our resources are aligned with both mission impact and long-term sustainability.

Rolling Forecasts and Scenario Planning
KPI, Performance, and Variance Reporting
Treat the AOP as a living management plan rather than a once-a-year finance exercise; Translate the AOP into understandable program and department expectations, resource guardrails, and performance measures so leaders share accountability for execution.
~ Partner with the Controller and designated Accountant(s) to ensure planning begins with reliable actuals and reflects grant restrictions, reimbursement timing, and other funding realities.
~ Maintain rolling forecasts that update expected revenue, expenses, staffing, program volume, funding, and cash implications as new information becomes available.
~ Build decision scenarios for funding changes, grant renewals, staffing actions, program demand, capacity shifts, service-model changes, and other material operating decisions.
~ distinguish timing issues from structural performance issues.
~ Model the financial implications of alternative choices and clearly communicate assumptions, sensitivities, risks, and tradeoffs to the CFO and operating leaders.
~ Support the CFO with forward-looking analysis that informs enterprise sustainability, liquidity planning, and resource allocation without duplicating the CFOs governance responsibilities.
Develop consistent program and department views of revenue, full cost, staffing, capacity, funding sources, restrictions, and long-term financial sustainability.
~ Analyze program economics using reliable accounting data and agreed allocation methods, separating controllable operating performance from shared-cost allocations when communicating with program leaders.
~ Partner with program leadership to understand cost drivers, caseload or service-volume assumptions, labor utilization, reimbursement, grant coverage, and funding concentration or renewal risk.
~ Help leaders evaluate when a program should be protected, redesigned, expanded, partnered, scaled differently, or reconsidered based on mission impact, demand, capacity, and financial sustainability.
~ Build practical models that show the full cost and resource requirements of new initiatives or growth opportunities before commitments are made.
KPI, Performance, and Variance Reporting
~ Maintain decision-ready dashboards that connect financial performance with operating drivers, service capacity, funding health, and measurable mission outcomes.
~ Lead monthly and quarterly variance analysis against the AOP and current forecast; Translate complex financial information into concise, accessible narratives for executives, program leaders, and other nonfinancial audiences.
~ Establish consistent KPI definitions, reporting logic, and performance thresholds in partnership with the Finance Systems & Process Manager and other data owners.
~ Surface performance trends, funding risks, and forecast changes early enough for leaders to take corrective action.
Serve as a hands-on financial thought partner to the CFO, Executive Leadership Team, and program leaders on resource choices, corrective actions, staffing, investment, and program decisions.
~ Frame decisions with clear alternatives, financial implications, mission considerations, risks, and recommended actions; challenge assumptions constructively when the data does not support the status quo.
~ Develop business cases and investment analyses for major initiatives, funding opportunities, service-model changes, and capacity decisions.
~ Provide analysis and supporting materials for Finance Committee, Board, Endowment, and executive discussions as requested by the CFO.
~ Build financial fluency across CCFW by helping leaders understand the economics they can control or influence and the decisions required to stay aligned with the AOP.
