Randy Harreld

Randy Harreld brings more than 25 years of experience in executive management, finance, operations, business ownership, and nonprofit financial oversight to his role as Director of Finance at Virginia Chance School. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and has completed graduate coursework in business administration. His professional background includes budgeting, financial reporting, payroll, tax and regulatory compliance, internal controls, audit preparation, cash-flow management, and working closely with leadership teams, accountants, advisors, and nonprofit boards.

At Chance, Randy’s work centers on financial stewardship, clarity, and long-term sustainability. He believes strong financial leadership should align resources with the school’s priorities and provide the stability that allows teachers and school leaders to focus on students and families. As a parent who chose private education for his own family, Randy understands the trust families place in a school and was drawn to Chance by its mission, the warmth of its community, and the thoughtfulness and sense of purpose he encountered throughout the interview process.

Outside of work, music is an important part of Randy’s life. He plays trumpet and performs with two local symphonic and wind ensembles. He also enjoys trekking, travel, driving, baking, and spending time with his partner, David, and their cats, Ollie and Henry. Baking has become a favorite creative outlet.  In 2026, Randy entered a cake at the Kentucky State Fair—and won!
