Position Mission

Reporting to the director of administration, this position supports a number of business activities based on the operational needs and the financial reporting requirements of leadership. Daily tasks include cash management and deposit preparation, invoice and accounts-payable oversight, working with Museum partners regarding the smooth functioning of payroll, revenue and expense monitoring and reporting, and guiding the organization on its application of budgets for operations.

In addition to the transactional aspects of the business office and describing the more critical functions of the role, the incumbent will help to design, analyze and implement various sets of data reporting processes in support of organizational decision-making. Working with the director of administration, the staff member will establish models of analysis that offer focus and operational direction for business growth and business recovery, as required. This individual will lead the daily, monthly, quarterly and annual financial management function for the Museum, while serving as the primary interface with the museum’s outsourced accounting partner for the support their responsibilities offer tax and pre-audit efforts, partnering to reconcile discrepancies, explain and resolve documentation errors and interpreting the business and bookkeeping needs that are assumed by the Museum. Additionally, the position will track and report changes to the Museum’s endowment accounts such that up-to-the-moment awareness of all assets and their approved application is available to executive management.

This position also assumes responsibility for recordkeeping oversight of most routine museum purchases such as paper/office supplies, minor equipment (upon request), non-retail products supporting the organization’s operations and other business needs requiring in-house attention.
