Chief Financial and Administrative Officer

National Museum of Mathematics

New York, NY (In Person)

www.momath.org


The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) is an award-winning museum that provides insight into the evolving, creative, human, and aesthetic nature of mathematics to a diverse audience of all ages. Its interactive exhibits and stimulating programs encourage inquiry, spark curiosity, and reveal the wonders of math. Opened in 2012, MoMath is the only physical museum of mathematics in the United States and the only hands-on science center in Manhattan, welcoming more than one million visitors to date.


MoMath is at an exciting period of expansion. Currently operating the pop-up experience MoMath on Fifth, the organization is in the midst of negotiating the lease for an expanded museum space. MoMath intends for this space to host a larger, more substantial suite of exhibitions that will further advance its vision of changing public perceptions of mathematics and improving and diversifying mathematics education, with an anticipated opening in early 2026.


To achieve MoMath’s vision for growth, the organization seeks a strategic, logical, and agile Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (CFAO). The CFAO will lead business and financial management for MoMath, which has an $11 million operating cash budget for fiscal year 2025, including bookkeeping, mark-to-market accounting, grant and fund accounting, payroll, contract administration, and banking. The ideal candidate will develop, assess, and actively monitor annual budgets and financial forecasts, ensuring the appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of expenses. In parallel, s/he will develop a five- to eight-year financial forecast to project the long-term profitability of MoMath’s anticipated new space.


The successful CFAO will analyze and evaluate MoMath’s events, programs, ticket sales, and business strategies to determine the cost-effectiveness of programs and advise regarding optimal pricing strategies for the Museum and its events. The candidate will accurately account for capital campaign expenses while overseeing regular bookkeeping operations, including accounts payable and receivable, invoices, reconciliation, and recording of cash receipts and bank deposits. The ideal candidate will partner with MoMath’s auditing firm to support the creation of the Form 990 and the completion of the annual audit process.


The CFAO will lead MoMath’s administration, including overseeing general Museum/office internal logistics, booking of travel, timely handling of customer inquiries and communications, approval of invoices and purchase requests, and emerging and special project administration and support. The successful candidate will be an easygoing, team-oriented, common-sense problem solver with the judgment to assess, make decisions, and resolve complex circumstances, notably in response to customer inquiries.


The CFAO will report to the Executive Director and CEO and serve on MoMath’s senior leadership team. The candidate will lead a team of eight full- and part-time professionals in finance and operations with three direct reports, which includes the Accountant (full-time), Senior Accountant (part-time), and Office Manager (full-time). S/he will also be responsible for preparing reports for the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees.


The CFAO will effectively engage and partner with several of the Museum’s external partners including landlords, bankers, auditors, and major customers. S/he will manage existing relationships while identifying and creating relationships with new partners as needed.


The National Museum of Mathematics has retained Freeman Philanthropic Services, LLC to assist with this crucial recruitment. Please send confidential inquiries and applications directly to Freeman Philanthropic Services, LLC via e-mail at MoMath@glfreeman.com.
