You will cultivate and sustain effective working relationships with senior management in client departments, departmental managers responsible for financial reporting, and representatives from Finance and Treasury Board and the Office of the Auditor General.

As the Manager, Financial Advisory Services, you will report directly to the Director of Financial Advisory Services.

Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills, along with sound judgment, are crucial. Additionally, you should be self-motivated, detail-oriented, and proficient in the Microsoft suite of services, particularly Excel.
