Description
WittKieffer is proud to partner with Twin Lakes Community in their search for its next Chief Financial Officer. Twin Lakes Community offers an exceptional opportunity for a compassionate, missiondriven financial executive to serve as Chief Financial Officer at one of North Carolina’s most respected and financially strong Continuing Care Retirement Communities. This is a high-impact leadership role for a CFO who is energized by stewardship, strategy, and service, and who is committed to ensuring long-term financial strength in support of a vibrant, resident-centered community.
Nationally recognized for excellence, Twin Lakes was ranked #20 among the nation’s top CCRCs by Newsweek for 2025 and again earned Top 20 recognition for 2026, along with a #3 ranking among CCRCs in North Carolina. Its commitment to high-quality care is further reflected in its nursing program’s #6 ranking among the best nursing homes (100–149 beds) in North Carolina for 2026. Additionally, in 2025, Twin Lakes was named 19th on The Nation’s 200 Largest Not-for-Profit Single-Campus Senior Living Organizations by the LeadingAge Ziegler 200.
The CFO will join a stable, wellgoverned organization with a long history of thoughtful growth, strong reserves, and national recognition for quality and financial performance. With a strong BBB Fitch financial rating, CARF accreditation, and consistent fivestar CMS ratings in skilled nursing, Twin Lakes provides an environment where financial discipline and mission alignment are deeply ingrained. The CFO will steward a complex financial enterprise that includes multilevel care operations, real estate, investments, endowment and trust assets, bond financing, and longrange capital planning.
Reporting to the President/CEO and serving as a trusted partner to the Board of Directors, the CFO will play a central role in shaping Twin Lakes’ strategic direction. Success in this role requires a sharp, thoughtful leader who brings intellectual curiosity, a willingness to learn, and the confidence to articulate wellreasoned points of view. Twin Lakes seeks a CFO who can challenge assumptions constructively, back recommendations with sound analysis, and engage in respectful, productive dialogue at the highest levels of the organization.
Equally important, the CFO must be a compassionate, servanthearted leader who understands the human impact of financial decisions. This individual will be comfortable and effective communicating with people from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, including residents, frontline staff, senior leaders, Board members, and external partners, translating complex financial matters into clear, accessible insights. The ability to build trust, listen deeply, and lead with empathy is essential in a community centered on dignity, care, and connection.
The role also offers the opportunity to lead, mentor, and strengthen a talented finance and business office team within a missionfocused culture. The CFO will bring a strategic mindset paired with operational pragmatism, balancing financial rigor with flexibility and long-term planning with day-to-day realities.
The successful candidate will bring a strong track record of financial leadership, exceptional interpersonal skills, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of seniors; a bachelor’s degree and a CPA license are required for the role. For the right executive, this position represents more than a leadership role; it is an opportunity to steward a meaningful legacy, contribute to a community that values purpose and people, and help guide Twin Lakes confidently into its next chapter of service, sustainability, and thoughtful growth.
