Parker Players Theater Company seeks a Treasurer to serve as a strategic financial leader and officer of the Board of Directors.
This role focuses on financial oversight, governance, sustainability, and long-term planning for a growing nonprofit theater company producing intimate, Chicago-caliber work in Barrington. The Treasurer works collaboratively with board leadership, the Artistic Director, finance operations support, and external accounting partner Plante Moran.
Responsibilities include reviewing financial statements prepared by Plante Moran, presenting financial updates to the board, supporting annual budgeting and strategic planning, monitoring cash flow and financial sustainability, overseeing audit and compliance processes, and serving as an authorized signer on approved company payments.
The Treasurer will work in conjunction with Plante Moran, who maintains the organization’s accounting records and prepares financial reporting, helping ensure strong financial controls, transparency, and sound stewardship practices.
