Jim Harrington
Chief Financial Officer
Jim Harrington has spent more than 30 years guiding organizations through financial growth and transformation. He specializes in making sure financial systems run smoothly, improving reporting, and building sustainable financial infrastructure for the long haul.
Harrington has been a licensed accounting professional in Missouri for three decades. Most recently, he served as CFO of Spare Time Entertainment, where he overhauled the company's financial operations by introducing more efficient systems and improving their long-term budgeting.
He also brings an informed understanding of the Kansas City education landscape, rooted in his earlier tenure as Chief Financial Officer for The Barstow School.
A devoted family man and grandfather, Harrington finds a different kind of balance on the open road with his motorcycle. He carries a "lifelong learner" mindset into his work at KCAI, an ambition for growth he inherited from his parents, who modeled success in two very different professional worlds.
