Managing Director - Nonprofit
Remote Worker - N/A Apply Description
About All In One Accounting
All In One Accounting is a 7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities and one of the Best Places to Work in the Minneapolis area. Our purpose is simple: to make the lives of entrepreneurial and nonprofit leaders better. We do that by supporting profitable growth, protecting assets, and amplifying impact — bringing financial clarity and strategic leadership to the clients who need it most. We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear goals, strong accountability, and a team that executes with intention.
The Managing Director Role at AIOA
At AIOA, the Managing Director is the senior leader of their industry practice — a business unit with its own P&L, its own team of CFOs, and its own book of clients. You report to the EVP, Operations and sit on the Operations leadership team. Your CFOs own individual client relationships; you own the practice system that produces excellent client outcomes at scale. The single owner of every client relationship is the CFO — your accountability is the quality of the team, the health of the practice, and the performance of the business unit you run.
About This Role
We're seeking a Managing Director to own and lead AIOA's Nonprofit Practice — a business unit serving social service agencies, foundations, advocacy groups, community organizations, and membership associations. You set the direction, lead the people, own the practice-level client outcomes, and are accountable for the full P&L of your business unit. You'll lead a team of CFOs who each own their own books of nonprofit clients. The practice's growth, profitability, team health, and client outcomes are yours.
Now About You
We hire for hungry, humble, and smart — and Managing Directors at AIOA bring those qualities at the highest level of individual practice ownership. Hungry means you're not just managing your practice — you're actively growing it, developing your people, and raising the bar for what great looks like. Humble means you share your expertise freely, take direction from the EVP even when you're the most experienced person in the room, and give credit generously. Smart means your CFOs and clients rely on your judgment for the most complex situations — and you've earned that trust by consistently delivering.
LMA Accountability
In EOS, LMA — Leadership, Management, and Accountability — is the framework through which every leader fulfills their people responsibilities. As a Managing Director, your LMA accountability covers your full practice team: you hire, develop, and retain talent, manage capacity proactively, and hold your CFOs accountable to their client and team outcomes. LMA is not a task — it is the core of your leadership role.
How Business Development Works at AIOA
At AIOA, business development is a team effort. A dedicated Business Development team handles lead generation and pipeline management. Your role in growth is different and complementary: you define the ideal client profile for your practice, serve as the subject matter expert who closes qualified opportunities that BD surfaces, drive expansion within your existing book, and build the external reputation that makes your practice the obvious choice in your industry. You are not expected to cold-call or run a pipeline. You are expected to be the most credible, connected, and trusted voice in your industry vertical.
