**Who Are We?**

Established in 1978, Formac Lorimer Books is a Halifax-based, independent book publishing and distribution company. At Formac we publish, market and distribute a wide range of books for Nova Scotians and Canadians. We are on the leading edge of digital initiatives in publishing, producing accessible e-books, digital libraries for use in schools and universities and more. Our management team is always asking the question "What else can books do?" We also provide business, marketing and distribution services to a related publishing house (James Lorimer & Company) in Toronto, and to Canadian CourseReadings (a nonprofit digital content distributor for Canadian post-secondary students based in our Halifax offices).

The finacial manager will join our management team of highly qualified and experienced individuals who seek to combine business success with a commitment to books and literary culture. The financial manager provides accounting services to the three companies mentioned above.

As a cultural industry, we combine our day-to-day business of selling books with key relationships with federal and provincial cultural agencies which provide funding to support and grow our publishing and marketing activities. Our business manager has a key role in these relationships and developing grant proposals and providing financial information and reports. Our business manager is also the key point of contact for our many authors and contributors whose books we report on annually with royalty statements and payments.
