The Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK) is excited to announce the hiring of Kayley Hartman as its new Accounting Manager!
Kayley comes to CFSEK and its affiliates in Columbus, Fort Scott, and Girard with a passion for helping those in need, and great hopes and aspirations for the future of our communities in Southeast Kansas. She is actively training with current CFSEK Accounting Manager, Kim Lynch, who will be retiring in April.
“We are excited to welcome Kayley to our team,” said Devin Gorman, CFSEK Executive Director. “As a Pittsburg native with a strong background in accounting and finance, she is a great fit for this role. Her enthusiasm for our community is evident, and I know she will be a strong advocate for our work throughout Southeast Kansas.”
After graduating from Pittsburg High School, Kayley attended Pittsburg State University earning a double major in Finance and Accounting. After several years in business accounting and management, Kayley has made the transition to nonprofit work, wanting to make an impact in her community.
“I want to make sure our children thrive because they are the driving force of tomorrow,” Kayley said. “It’s great to be able to work with a like-minded team to support our communities to make our future brighter in Southeast Kansas.”
When outside of the office, Kayley spends her time with her 6-month-old daughter and her fiancé. She is also a self-described bibliophile and is currently creating her own personal library. With 4 dogs and 2 cats, Kayley says walks are a necessity for her.
When asked about her new position, Kayley had this to say: “Accounting is more than just numbers, it’s about the big picture and making sure everything runs smoothly. Working and learning alongside Kim is helpful, and I look forward to this new and exciting challenge supporting our communities in Southeast Kansas!”
