    This is your opportunity to put your financial acumen to work for a mission that matters.

    At the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC), we don’t just balance budgets—we save lives. As a nationally recognized, no-kill animal welfare organization, we’re looking for a mission-driven Financial Controller to lead our accounting and financial operations with integrity, strategy, and compassion.

    If you're passionate about nonprofit finance, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to be part of something extraordinary—this is your moment.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Own and manage all day-to-day accounting operations, including A/R, A/P, payroll, and reconciliations
    • Prepare financial statements, cash flow reports, grant budgets, and reports.
    • Partner with the CEO on financial strategy, budgeting, and reporting
    • Lead annual audits, ensure tax and regulatory compliance
    • Serve as liaison to the Finance Committee and key stakeholders
    • Track grants, in-kind donations, and all incoming contributions with precision
    • Support long-term financial planning for a growing nonprofit with impact and heart

    What We’re Looking For:

    • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA a plus)
    • Mastery of QuickBooks, Excel, and financial best practices for nonprofit organizations
    • Deep knowledge of fund accounting and grant compliance
    • Detail-obsessed but able to see the big picture
    • A values-driven leader who thrives in a mission-first culture

    Why Join HSHC?

    • Make every dollar count toward saving lives.
    • Join a nationally recognized no-kill shelter in a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility
    • Collaborate with a passionate, purpose-driven team
    • Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, disability, 401(k) with match, generous PTO
    • Pet perks: discounted veterinary care and pet supplies for your own furry family
    • Work with people who believe animals deserve second chances—and work hard to give them just that
