A high level of professional judgment and autonomy is essential in fulfilling these responsibilities while advising and collaborating with various departments to foster strong working relationships.

  • Review external reports, including grant reporting and compliance with provincial or intergovernmental requirements.
  • Generate financial reports and analyses for council and internal stakeholders, as well as public financial disclosures.
  • Compile additional financial, operational, or administrative reports, such as cost-benefit analyses and revenue trend assessments.
  • Provide payroll-related analysis and information.
  • Support leadership in strategic planning with sound financial advice and analysis.

Training and Development:

  • Identify training needs for departmental budgeting and develop relevant training materials.
  • Deliver ongoing training for staff on budgeting and related policies, procedures, and systems.
  • Lead assigned projects, maintaining documentation and monitoring progress to ensure timely completion of tasks.
  • Develop and present business cases, budget reports, and financial analyses as required.
  • Document and update financial policies, budgeting processes, and procedures.
  • Assist managers with month-end, quarter-end, and year-end financial processes.
  • Establish effective processes and communication channels to maintain strong interdepartmental relationships.
  • Address issues or challenges related to departmental financials and systems as necessary.

Qualifications:

Your qualifications reflect your expertise in talent development and financial reporting, including operating and capital budgets, policies, and regulations. You possess a thorough understanding of financial administration responsibilities as outlined in relevant legislation and can lead a team to achieve optimal performance in financial services, including property assessment, financial planning, utility billing, accounts payable and receivable, customer service, and payroll administration.

You are a natural leader who prioritizes achievement through people, providing clear expectations and fostering a supportive and engaging work environment. You have a reputation for building relationships based on respect and trust both within and outside the organization, adapting your communication style to suit varying levels of financial understanding.

Education & Experience:

  • Post-secondary degree or diploma in finance, accounting, or commerce.
  • Must hold an Accounting Designation (CPA, CA, CMA, CGA).
  • Ongoing training in leadership development.
  • A minimum of seven (7) years of experience in senior or progressively responsible financial or accounting roles, preferably within municipal government.
  • Experience in the public sector or not-for-profit organizations is considered an asset.
