Finance Associate

$42.00 per hour

About the Role

The Finance Associate plays a vital role in supporting the operational and financial integrity of The CAFE Group. Working closely with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), this individual will manage the day-to-day financial processes that keep the organization running efficiently — from processing expenses and reconciling credit card statements to ensuring timely payments and supporting financial reporting.

This position sits at the heart of our back-office infrastructure, ensuring that every transaction reflects our values of excellence, accountability, and love as strategy. The Finance Associate will serve as the first point of contact for staff expense inquiries, vendor payments, and budget tracking, helping to translate financial systems into tools of transparency and trust.

Beyond processing and reconciliation, the Finance Associate will gain exposure to the full financial ecosystem of a growing philanthropic organization — supporting budgeting cycles, grant reporting, and annual audits. The right candidate will be eager to learn, grounded in detail, and motivated by a desire to contribute to work that strengthens communities and leaders across the nation.
