Space Coast Credit Union — with more than 380,000 members and assets of over $3.9 billion — recently announced the appointment of Hilary Eisbrenner to be chief financial officer and senior vice president.

A 27-year veteran of the credit union industry and certified public accountant, Eisbrenner joined SCCU as vice president of finance and accounting in early 2016, bringing experience across multiple fields of finance, information technology and asset liability management.

Eisbrenner has provided immediate value during her short time at the credit union, including mapping and balancing systems data in preparation for SCCU’s core system conversion last fall and completing a complex CPA audit.

“Hilary was chosen for this role because she is able to dig in and do what it takes to get the job done,” SCCU president and chief executive officer Timothy Antonition said. “Her knack for explaining financial concepts in non-CPA speak is hard to find. With this unique trait, she has become a trusted adviser regarding the credit union’s financials, and I look forward to continuing to work with her.”

In addition to continuing to oversee and direct financial operations, Eisbrenner assumes responsibility of the credit union’s collections area and enterprise risk management. Eisbrenner will continue to work closely with the credit union’s leadership as part of the executive management team to advance the credit union’s mission of creating value in cooperative ownership and protect members’ financial interests.
