Finance Manager

Seeking a Finance Manager for a Mission-Driven Social Services Organization in Kamloops, BC!

I’m on the lookout for a talented Finance Manager to join my client’s dedicated team in Kamloops, BC. If you’re a financial leader who’s passionate about making a real difference, this opportunity is for you. My client is committed to positively impacting the community, and they need someone like you to ensure their financial health and sustainability.

Why This Role Stands Out:

As the Finance Manager, you’ll be a cornerstone of my client’s operations, working closely with the Executive Director and the leadership team. This is not just about managing finances – it’s about steering the organization towards greater impact and ensuring every dollar contributes to their mission. You’ll be at the heart of strategic decision-making, helping to maximize resources and drive their mission forward.

Location Flexibility:

While there’s a strong preference for candidates to live in Kamloops and be part of the local community, my client understands that flexibility is key. If you’re based elsewhere in British Columbia, remote work is an option—provided you’re within the province and are able to travel to Kamloops a few times per year. This ensures you’re in the same time zone as the client, allowing you to contribute meaningfully while balancing your personal and professional life. Please note that remote work is not available for candidates living outside of British Columbia.

What You’ll Be Doing:

1. Leading Financial Planning & Analysis: Collaborate with the Executive Director and program managers to develop and manage the annual budget. Your financial expertise will ensure the organization stays on track and effectively uses its resources.
2. Managing Full Cycle Accounting: Oversee all aspects of accounting, from accounts payable and receivable to general ledger maintenance and financial statement preparation. Your role is vital in maintaining accuracy and compliance.
3. Overseeing Fund Accounting: With extensive experience in fund accounting methods, you’ll manage and allocate expenses across multiple funding sources, ensuring compliance with funder requirements and preparing detailed financial reports.
4. Enhancing Internal Controls & Compliance: Establish and refine financial policies and procedures, ensuring they meet nonprofit accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
5. Delivering Financial Reporting: Prepare and present monthly financial statements and quarterly reports for funders, providing the Executive Director and Board with the insights they need for effective decision-making.
6. Leading Audit & Tax Compliance: Guide the organization through annual audits and ensure compliance with all tax filings and regulatory reporting requirements.
7. Managing Payroll & Cash Flow: Oversee payroll processing and ensure the organization’s cash flow is managed efficiently, implementing strategies to optimize financial reserves.
8. Providing Strategic Financial Guidance: Be the go-to advisor for financial insights, offering strategic advice that supports the organization’s long-term goals.
9. Leading and Developing the Finance Team: Supervise and mentor a small accounting team, fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment.
10. Mitigating Financial Risks: Identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring the organization’s financial security.

What My Client Offers:

• Competitive Salary: $85-120K annually (based on experience)
• Generous Vacation: 3 weeks to start, plus a paid week off at Christmas
• Comprehensive Benefits: Excellent employer-paid extended benefits plan
• Pension Plan: Matching program to support your future
• Professional Development: Ongoing training opportunities
• Perks: Free parking and a Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM schedule
• Work Location: Preference for candidates in Kamloops, BC, but remote work is available for candidates across British Columbia.

What My Client is Looking For:

• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field, along with a CPA designation.
• Experience: At least 5 years of progressive experience in financial management, with a strong background in nonprofit and fund accounting.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in QuickBooks online software and advanced skills in Microsoft Excel. Experience with financial modeling and forecasting is essential.
• Leadership Abilities: Proven experience in leading finance teams, with strong communication skills to effectively convey financial information to non-financial staff.
• Analytical Thinking: A strategic mindset with exceptional problem-solving abilities, capable of analyzing complex financial data and presenting actionable insights.
• Compliance Expertise: A thorough understanding of nonprofit financial regulations, audit processes, and tax requirements.
• Attention to Detail: An exceptional eye for detail and accuracy in financial reporting and documentation.
• Adaptability: The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities with ease.
• Team Player: A collaborative spirit, ready to roll up your sleeves and contribute to the organization’s community-focused mission.

Additional Requirements:

• A clear provincial criminal record check.
• Physical ability to carry out the duties of the position.

Our client is an equal-opportunity employer who celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
