Position Available, FCLF Director of Finance

30 May 2023

This position has been filled. Thank you for your interest in Florida Community Loan Fund. 


Florida Community Loan Fund (FCLF) serves the 3rd most populated state in the U.S. by providing flexible financing and expertise to help projects succeed and help organizations improve lives and low-income communities. FCLF has provided $542 million in lending statewide, into projects totaling $1.35 billion in total project costs. We are a multi-faceted financing entity with a strong social conscience, a commitment to excellence, statewide partnerships and collaborations, accountability to our stakeholders, and clear focus on performance.

For 25+ years FCLF has a strong history of leading capital to people and places outside of the economic mainstream and remains committed to communities across Florida. FCLF became Florida's first certified statewide Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in 1996 and became certified as a Community Development Entity (CDE) in 2004. Since then, we have secured the largest cumulative amount of federal funding of any Florida-based entity through the U.S. Department of Treasury’s CDFI Fund and New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program.

We continue to work to create solutions – for now and the future – with flexible financing through our loan programs:

  • Community Development Financing offering commercial loans for housing and community facilities to nonprofit and mission-focused for-profit organizations; and
  • New Markets Tax Credit Program financing community facilities that provide jobs and stimulate economic development in distressed census tracts.

Headquartered in Orlando, FCLF has a current staff of 19, an $8 million annual operating budget, $150 million in Total Assets, and manages commercial loan portfolios totaling $340 million. For more information about FCLF, including our 2019-2024 Strategic Plan, please visit https://fclf.org/

FCLF currently has an opening for a Director of Finance

Florida Community Loan Fund is seeking an experienced nonprofit finance and accounting professional to manage the accounting, financial reporting, audit activities, and asset management requirements of the organization. Successful candidates will bring experience in the community development finance space.

The current Controller will be retiring in the Fall of 2023, after 8 years of service. FCLF is leveraging this planned transition to continue to strengthen its infrastructure. Consequently, the organization is seeking a Director of Finance to serve as an integral member of the three-person finance and accounting team. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Finance manages the general accounting, financial reporting, audit activities, and asset management requirements of the organization and supports the CFO on special projects.
