Coast Funds is an Indigenous-led conservation finance organization created to deliver funding and services in support of coastal First Nations’ goals for stewardship and economic development in the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii - part of one of the world’s last remaining coastal rainforests. As a globally recognized foundation, Coast Funds serves as a successful model of Indigenous-led conservation finance, demonstrating that First Nations’ leadership and self-determination are key to permanently protecting ecologically and culturally significant places on Earth.

Today, Coast Funds continues to strengthen the well-being of First Nations and the ecological integrity of the Great Bear Coast. To date, they have approved over $118 million towards more than 470 economic development and conservation projects in the region.

First Nations are expanding their impactful work to the marine region of the Great Bear Sea which encompasses over 10 million hectares of marine and coastal ecosystems on the coast of BC. It is one of the most productive cold-water ecosystems in the world and has sustained coastal peoples for thousands of years.

In recognition of the newly added Great Bear Sea focus, Coast Funds and First Nations are continuing to create new opportunities through strategic engagements with government, philanthropy, and industry to secure the well-being of First Nations and ecosystems across the region. The Great Bear Sea initiative will bring an additional $335 million of funds under Coast Funds management. Over the next 20 years, Coast Funds expects the PFP will support more than 3,000 new jobs and 200 new businesses in marine stewardship, transportation and renewable energy, sustainable fisheries, eco-cultural tourism, and manufacturing and processing.

Coast Funds is currently looking for an experienced CFO to work with the CEO and the leadership team to help contribute to the development of this leading conservation finance organization.

As a collaborative business partner and influential member of Coast Funds’ leadership team, the CFO will be hands-on and involved in all aspects of the financial operations of Coast Funds. As a corporate officer, the CFO has overall responsibility for Coast Funds:

  • Accounting and financial reporting
  • Planning, budgeting, and forecasting
  • Treasury and investment reporting
  • Policy development
  • Disbursement of funding to First Nations
  • Compliance reporting
  • Performance monitoring and forecasting
  • Risk management
  • Team leadership and oversight of HR
  • Management of information technology and the organization’s assets

Reporting directly to and working closely with the Chief Executive Officer, the CFO will make regular presentations and provide support to the board’s Investment, Finance, and Audit Committee. As a key member of a small, close working team, you will collaborate and foster a high-trust environment within the organization and with the First Nations Coast Funds serves.

Our ideal candidate

This role is ideal for an experienced CPA leader with insight on investment management and non-profit accounting to contribute to the advancement and protection of the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii regions as well as the Great Bear Sea. Key attributes will include:

  • A university degree, preferably in Business, Accounting, Finance, or similar combined with a professional accounting designation (CPA)
  • Financial management experience in a similar complex multi-stakeholder environment with experience at the senior leadership level
  • Solid knowledge of Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, statutory reporting, compliance, and regulatory requirements for not-for-profit organizations and registered charities
  • Experience in a charitable foundation, trust, or private funds and knowledge of the investment management industry preferred. Experience acting as a company officer would be an asset
  • Broad functional expertise in providing oversight of and implementing accounting; financial reporting; financial planning and analysis; budgeting and forecasting; treasury; investment; finance and risk management functions
  • Advanced knowledge and proficiency with Microsoft Office products and familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM would be an asset
  • Advanced knowledge of risk management and governance best practices
  • Experience in working with First Nations communities or Indigenous organizations

Compensation

Competitive CFO salary based on experience. Coast Funds’ competitive benefits package includes a flexible health and dental plan, RRSP contribution, committed colleagues, a culture of innovation, and the sense of accomplishment that comes by contributing to a small team that’s working hard to make a difference in BC’s coastal communities.

They do have a hybrid model consisting of 3 days in the downtown office and 2 days from home unless work circumstances require more time at the office or in the community.
