FAQDo I need to be Muslim?

No. We’re open to all candidates. We’re eager to celebrate and support your traditions & values.

Do I need to live in Edmonton?

Why wouldn’t you want to live in Edmonton? But seriously, we realise great talent may be anywhere and we’ve embraced the shift to virtual work. We would like in-person presence for quarterly presentations and the development of the annual budget.

What is Halal financing and why is it important to you?

Halal financing is about economic justice and a fairer way of distributing wealth. It is based on Islamic principles of shared risk, avoiding: fixed interest, investments that cause harm, & what is prohibited by Islam. It's the bedrock of how we operate and try to achieve beneficial change in society.

Do I need to have experience in non-profit accounting?

No, but we would like to know about how you intend to learn about non-profit accounting standards.
