Senior Finance Manager

We're looking for a mission‑driven finance professional who wants their work to truly matter. At the Leslie Shankman School Corporation (LSSC)-the organization that supports the Hyde Park Day School and the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School-we are seeking a Senior Finance Manager who is excited to pair strong financial expertise with purpose‑driven work.

As a small but high‑impact organization, we rely on thoughtful, hands‑on financial leadership. In this role, you'll help ensure our financial operations run smoothly, our reporting is accurate, and our systems and processes continually improve. Most importantly, your work will help sustain two schools that make a transformative difference for students with unique learning needs-and the families and educators who count on us.

What You'll DoYou'll take the lead on our day‑to‑day accounting operations and produce reliable financial reports that help guide decision‑making. You'll manage accounts payable and receivable, coordinate our audits, and support payroll administration. You'll also oversee our student contract and tuition processes while communicating clearly with parents, districts, and internal teams. Beyond the daily tasks, we value someone who enjoys improving systems, streamlining workflows, and strengthening how our financial operations support the entire organization. You'll supervise a small, capable team and collaborate closely with HR, school leadership, and our CFO.

Who You AreWe're looking for someone with 3-4+ years of experience in accounting or financial management-ideally with exposure to nonprofit or multi‑entity environments. You're organized, detail‑oriented, and strong in Excel and general ledger systems. You're someone who solves problems with a calm, practical approach and communicates well with a wide range of people, from faculty to parents to auditors. Most of all, we value someone who takes ownership of their work, brings clarity to complex processes, and enjoys being part of a collaborative team.

Why You'll Love Working HereWe're a mission‑focused organization where everyone's work makes a direct, meaningful impact. You'll be part of a small, supportive, and highly dedicated team. You'll have opportunities to improve systems, influence how we operate, and help safeguard the financial health of schools that change young people's lives.

If you're ready to bring your financial expertise to an organization where your contributions truly matter, we'd love to meet you.
