Girl Scouts of the USA
Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls and the leading authority on their healthy development. Millions of Girl Scout alums across the country and the world have gone on to achieve incredible things and make a tremendous impact in fields ranging from public policy, medicine, journalism, and athletics to international relations, science, technology, art, and entertainment.
As a mission-driven organization, Girl Scouts of the USA champions girls as they explore their worlds, try new things, and develop the courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place. From stargazing during a first overnight camping trip to building robots, navigating a rocky hiking trail, working together on a community project, and learning about the importance of environmental stewardship, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can unapologetically be themselves as they rise to meet new challenges and discover the issues that matter most to them. Along the way they learn the power of friendship, connection, and teamwork.
Girl Scouts are doers, innovators, problem-solvers, creators, and dreamers, and the GSUSA team is here to center, support, and inspire them, working with 111 local councils across the country and USA Girl Scouts Overseas to deliver our life-changing Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
The Finance Division at GSUSA serves as a strategic partner in stewarding the financial health of the organization and the broader Movement.

As a trusted advisor to both internal and external stakeholders, the Finance team provides insightful analysis and strategic recommendations that guide resource allocation, investment decisions, and performance evaluation. The division is also committed to building strong partnerships across the GSUSA network, including through a CFO community of practice that strengthens alignment and support across councils.
With a focus on continuous improvement, talent development, and technology-driven innovation, the Finance Division is evolving to meet the demands of a dynamic nonprofit landscape—working every day to uphold fiduciary excellence in service of the Girl Scout mission.
