Description

Manager of Financial Services:

The City of Duncan is seeking an experienced professional to join our management team as Manager of Financial Services.

Duncan is small, in a Big way.

Just five hundred metres off the Highway (about 60 kilometres north of Victoria) you'll find 300 shops and services in a few beautiful, walkable, compact downtown blocks lined with 40 world-renowned totem poles.

Within minutes of downtown are 5 golf courses, 15 wineries, lake and ocean waterfront, world-class trails, cultural amenities, and all forms of indoor recreation.

This compact city of 5,000 people aims to be one of the most livable small cities in Canada, proudly serving as the economic and cultural heart of the Cowichan Valley.

Located in the traditional territory of Cowichan Tribes, Duncan seeks to be welcoming, diverse, creative, environmentally sustainable, and resilient.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Manager of Financial Services is responsible for overseeing the efficient organization and operation of the Finance Department.

This exempt position provides assistance to the Director with respect to fulfilling the statutory functions of the Financial Officer and the Collector of Taxes and may fulfill the duties of the Director of Finance in their absence.

The Manager of Financial Services is also responsible for the supervision of four regular staff as well as casual support workers.

Applicants should have a minimum of three years directly related experience in a local government setting, or an equivalent combination of training and experience, complemented with a professional accounting designation.

Applicants are required to have experience and competency in maintaining the general ledger system, performing all year-end financial reporting requirements including financial statements, and supervising and mentoring staff, as well as experience with municipal property taxation and utility billing, preferably using Vadim.

Well-developed organizational, leadership, time management, computer, written communication, and interpersonal skills are also required.

This is a permanent full-time exempt position with a competitive salary and benefits package, commensurate with experience.

You will not want to miss this opportunity to join a motivated team that prides itself on being progressive, proactive, and committed to serving the public.
