Financial Operations Supervisor at North Carolina State University at Raleigh, Raleigh, NC
As the Financial Operations Supervisor, you will serve as a strategic financial anchor within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), providing direct leadership and accounting oversight for a centralized financial operations team. Reporting to the Director of Business Services, you will safeguard the integrity, accuracy, and compliance of high-risk transactions across a complex multi-funding environment—including federal (USDA NIFA, Hatch, Smith-Lever), state, and receipt-supported funds within CALS’ unique Ledger 4 structure. In this high-impact role, your expertise will directly mitigate regulatory risk, ensure audit readiness, and maintain the university's trusted financial standing.

In this role, you will turn complex accounting requirements into seamless, efficient operations. By fostering a collaborative and accountable team culture, you will empower your staff to master intricate cost principles while serving as a supportive mentor who elevates their professional growth. Your direct influence will bridge the gap between central administration and non-financial department stakeholders, translating dense federal regulations into clear, actionable guidance. Ultimately, you will drive continuous improvement, building robust internal controls that allow the college’s critical research and extension programs to thrive with complete financial confidence.

Key responsibilities will fall within the following functional areas:

Leadership & Team Supervision 

  • Provide direct supervision, coaching, and performance management, cultivating a collaborative team culture focused on accountability, precision, and service excellence.
  • Optimize Capacity: Assign, prioritize, and balance workloads across functional areas (AP, AR, Travel, P-Card) to maximize operational efficiency and maintain compliance standards.
  • Design robust onboarding programs to ensure the team thoroughly understands core accounting principles, financial systems, and funding-specific requirements.
  • Identify recurring operational bottlenecks and implement standardized workflows, proactively guiding corrective actions to improve team accuracy.


Financial Oversight & Transaction Review

  • Review and approve complex transactions, using critical evaluation to ensure accurate accounting treatment across federal, state, and receipt-supported funds.
  • Direct staff analysis of CALS’ Ledger 4 project structures to guarantee correct funding source identification and regulatory framework application.
  • Oversee reconciliation processes to ensure  data accuracy, applying sound judgment to resolve financial discrepancies promptly.
  • Serve as a key decision-maker and escalation point for ambiguous or high-risk financial and compliance issues, applying relevant accounting principles and policy precedents 


Policy, Compliance & Internal Controls 

  • Interpret and apply complex regulatory guidelines—including USDA NIFA, Hatch, Hatch Multistate, and Smith-Lever requirements—ensuring strict allowability and allocability.
  • Oversee and strengthen internal controls, including segregation of duties and documentation standards, to ensure audit readiness and mitigate compliance risk 
  • Address identified control weaknesses, monitor audit findings, and implement long-term solutions to prevent recurrence.


Stakeholder Engagement & Advisory


  • Communicate intricate policy requirements, financial decisions, and process changes into clear, user-friendly guidance for faculty, staff, and non-financial partners.
  • Serve as a diplomatic liaison between central university offices, CORE Support, and academic departments to streamline financial operations and resolve escalated concerns.
  • Represent the financial operations unit in campus-wide meetings, championing collaborative solutions for system and workflow enhancements

If you are a financial professional who enjoys leading a team, solving complex problems, and helping others navigate challenging financial and regulatory requirements, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.. If you are a financial professional who takes pride in leading a team, solving complex problems, and providing thoughtful guidance, we invite you to apply.
