  • Serve as the primary point of contact with state agencies on contract questions, audits, and reporting deadlines.
  • Interpret contract language to identify compliance obligations, flag risks early, and keep the organization ahead of requirements.

  • Develop, maintain, and monitor program-level and organizational budgets with a focus on state-funded programs.
  • Perform variance analysis, forecasting, and trend reporting to surface insights that inform leadership decisions.

  • Build and maintain financial models to support program planning, contract renewals, and scenario analysis.
  • Maintain audit-ready records and support both internal and external audit processes.
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, state contract regulations, and ServiceNet policies.
  • Analyze funding sources, restrictions, and allowable costs to maximize the resources available to programs.
  • Contribute to the development and strengthening of internal controls around contract and budget compliance.
  • Generate and reconcile reports from financial systems (Great Plains, Workday) to support budgeting, contract reporting, and audit readiness.
  • Support preparation and timely filing of the annual Uniform Financial Report (UFR) as required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for state-contracted human services providers.
  • Provide financial data and projections in support of new grant and contract proposals.
  • Coach program staff on budget management fundamentals and contract compliance expectations.
