Reporting to the General Manager of Corporate Services, the Finance Officer delivers grant management, financial administration and administrative support for the Town of Bonnyville. This is a dynamic, highly varied role designed for an adaptable professional seeking long-term career stability and continuous growth. Rather than a routine daily workload, this position requires a broad skill set to effectively support a range of operational needs, spanning grant writing, finance, payroll backup, and front-counter customer service.

Key Responsibilities:

Grant Administration: Research, write, and submit municipal grant applications from start to finish; manage compliance and closeout reporting.

Accounting Operations: Perform GL maintenance, bank reconciliations, journal entries, trial balances, AP/AR, and assist with property tax/utility billing.

Payroll and HR Backup: Process bi-weekly payroll coverage, statutory remittances, WCB/LAPP filings, and serve as backup for HR administration.

Customer Service: Handle front-counter payments, answer ratepayer inquiries, and assist visitors with municipal services.

Cross-Functional Support: Cross-train across Corporate Services to pivot between daily priorities and provide operational coverage.

Qualifications:

Post-secondary degree or diploma in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Business Administration, or a related field (or an equivalent mix of formal education and practical experience).

Proven experience in full-cycle grant administration, from sourcing funding opportunities and writing complete applications to preparing post-grant financial and compliance reports.

Proven, hands-on experience in full-cycle accounting, including trial balances, General Ledger (GL) maintenance, Accounts Payable/Receivable, payroll processing, and financial statement preparation.

High versatility and adaptability, with a desire to wear multiple operational hats, pivot between distinct tasks daily, and establish a stable, long-term professional home with the Town.

High numerical accuracy, strict commitment to handling confidential HR and financial information, and strong communication skills, both written (grant proposals) and verbal (ratepayer and team interactions).

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook) and computerized financial management software systems.

Knowledge of Alberta municipal operations (property taxation, utility billing, PSAB standards) and hands-on experience with municipal software such as Vadim or Questica is a strong asset. Municipal experience preferred; however candidates with highly relevant, transferable experience and a demonstrated passion for municipal operations are encouraged to apply.

Working Conditions:

Standard office environment operating during normal municipality business hours (40 hours per week, Monday through Friday). Varying hours may be required.

Sitting for extended periods, standard keyboarding, and routine movement within an office environment.

Regular daily interaction with members of the public at the front counter.

Closing Date:

This position will remain open until filled.

Thank you to all applicants. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
