Day in the life:

After spending a few productive days working from home, you step into the Victoria office ready to tackle the day (but first, coffee and a snack). Your next task? Preparing financial statements. With the month-end wrapped up, it’s time to compile a detailed report for the Finance & Audit Committee, which is due in a week. This involves drafting statements, a management discussion and analysis (MD&A), and a concise summary presentation to share with the Leadership Team for review. Throughout the morning, colleagues stop by to chat, and a member of the operations team consults you about how financial statements submitted by a travel agent might impact their licence renewal application. Helping cross-departmental teams navigate regulatory nuances is a responsibility you take pride in.

A refreshing lunch break at Swan Lake leaves you energized for the afternoon’s budgeting meetings with department leads. Though it’s only mid-year, the groundwork for the next three-year budget cycle begins now. Budgeting, for you, isn’t just about plugging numbers into spreadsheets—it’s about strategic thinking and fostering collaboration to shape the organization’s future. While some of your work is cyclical and operational, you thrive on opportunities to enhance administrative processes and contribute strategically.

• Acting as the lead financial position within the organization, responsible for planning, implementing, managing and controlling all financial and administrative related activities.
• Developing annual budgets, implementing financial policies and procedures, preparing financial statements, coordinating the annual audit, and completing payroll functions – among other things!
• Providing in-depth financial and risk analysis and forecasting revenue streams to enhance operational effectiveness and achieve business goals.

We are looking for people who have:

• Chartered Professional Accountant designation (CPA with CPABC).
