JOB POSTING: Senior Associate, Advisory Services
Location: San Francisco
Organizational Overview: With seven offices throughout the US, Nonprofit
Finance Fund (NFF) is working with both funders and nonprofit organizations
nationwide to change the way nonprofits are financed. The goal of this
innovative thinking is to create a nonprofit sector that has the financial
strength needed to provide excellent services to the community.
NFF is bringing about this change by:
* Providing organizations with sustaining loans they might not be able
to secure from other sources
* Sharing our long-term experience on healthy financial planning for
nonprofits
* Advising nonprofits, through individual and group consultations, in
areas of financial planning and management
* By advocating broadly to funders and their recipient organizations
for an innovative approach to nonprofit financing
Since its founding in 1980, NFF has helped more than 8,000 nonprofits
implement sustainable growth and thereby improve their capacity to serve
their communities. Headquartered in New York City, NFF has a national staff
of more than 60 in offices including Boston, New Jersey, Philadelphia,
Washington DC, Detroit and San Francisco.
Position Summary: The Senior Associate will be responsible for the delivery
of NFF's full range of advisory services offerings. As a critical member of
a close-working and growing team of local and national professionals, the
Senior Associate will be expected to manage a substantial portfolio of work,
all while ensuring quality financial analysis, effective communication of
key NFF messages, and client satisfaction.
NFF's Senior Associates have the opportunity to work directly with
senior-level financial and strategic decision-makers at a wide range of
nonprofits. These clients come to NFF for assistance in evaluating their
financial health and assessing their readiness for change or growth. Much
of NFF's direct client work is done through our signature consulting
service, the Nonprofit Business Analysis (NBA). The NBA provides nonprofit
senior management and board members with illumination and guidance on ways
to better balance financial management with program priorities. Through the
NBA process, nonprofit leaders gain a deeper understanding of their
underlying business dynamics and capital needs. They become better equipped
to plan and make decisions that improve their organization's health and
viability.
NFF Senior Associates will serve as lead NBA consultants, conducting
rigorous analysis of nonprofit financial statements, communicating complex
financial concepts to nonprofit leadership, and preparing and presenting
reports with findings and recommendations to multiple nonprofit
stakeholders, including funders and Boards of Directors. Senior Associates
will also participate in the development and presentation of NFF's menu of
educational trainings, including workshops and clinics. They will be asked,
at times, to work on or oversee special projects, including product
development and improvement.
Senior Associates must be team players with a strong work ethic, exceptional
interpersonal and analytical skills, keen attention to detail, and ability
to balance multiple client engagements. NFF's success relies upon its
ability to operate as a "matrix" organization-organized both by geography
and department. As such, the Senior Associate will be a core member of a
regional team, working to fulfill NFF's mission in that market, as well as
an integral part of a national team of NBA providers dedicated to delivering
a high quality product to clients throughout the country. Regular travel
throughout the western region will be required, although most can be
accomplished through day trips.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
* Serve as lead consultant for nonprofit clients, facilitating meetings
and ongoing dialogue to assess business health and readiness to change or
growth
* Develop and present reports with key insights and recommendations
* Oversee financial and organizational analysis, including sector
research
* Co-present NFF workshops and other group trainings
* Assist in the development and quality assurance of Advisory Services
product offerings
* Participate in or manage special programs/initiatives as the need
arises
* Perform other duties as assigned
Essential Requirements for Education and/or Experience:
* Bachelor's required; Master's preferred in business, finance, public
administration, or related field
* 4-6 years work experience, preferably in the fields of financial
services or consulting
Specialized Knowledge/Beneficial Skills and Experience:
* Exceptional written and oral communications and interpersonal skills
* Excellent analytical skills
* Demonstrated commitment to the nonprofit community and familiarity
with nonprofit accounting
* Interest and ability to travel nationally, year round
* Strong time-management and multi-tasking abilities
* Self-starter with the ability to work independently as well as
collaborate with a close-knit group
* Flexible, creative, and patient individual with imagination,
enthusiasm and a sense of humor
* Self-motivated and results-oriented with drive and initiative
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications particularly Excel,
Word, and PowerPoint
