Position Summary:

Using initiative, tact, judgment and respect for privacy and confidentiality, the position reports to the Chief Financial Officer. This position is responsible for accounting and administrative functions of the Business Office of the Archdiocese.

You will be responsible for maintaining the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable sub-ledgers at the Archdiocesan level, and reconciling the bank and general ledger accounts.

You will need to work collaboratively with the Parish Accountant to ensure that inter-departmental transactions between the Archdiocesan Business Office and the parishes are reconciled and recorded and, when needed, assist the Parish Accountant with unusual or non-routine transactions.

You will also be responsible for the preparation of working papers to support the annual assurance process, and other ad hoc financial analysis from time to time.

In addition, you will be responsible for the preparation and filing of the Archdiocese's statutory filings and remittances.

Qualifications and Requirements:


• A university degree and/or college diploma in accounting or equivalent related experience is preferred.

• Experience in not-for-profit accounting would be an asset

• Ability to make timely, informed decisions that take into account the facts, goals, constraints, and risks


• Ability to be organized and manage time effectively, while ensuring the optimal use of resources to achieve objectives


• An ongoing commitment to continuous improvement


• Ability to maintain confidentiality in all aspects of the role


• Demonstrated effective oral and written communications skills


• Respectful attitude toward co-workers, clergy, service providers, parishioners, volunteers, and other members of the public
