The Role

Providence Village is seeking a future-focused Senior Finance Business Partner to align financial planning and operations to achieve our vision and realize the legacy of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul.

Reporting to the President & CEO, this pivotal role connects strategy with day-to-day execution across two business segments—private long-term care and property management.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation; consolidate budgets and KPIs into decision-ready materials for leadership and the Board.
• Strengthen accounting and controls (month-end close, reporting, internal controls); oversee audit, compliance filings, and policy-aligned monitoring of investments and reserve funds.
• Provide portfolio insight by reviewing contracts, rent rolls, operating histories, and asset-management reports; analyze cash flow and financing terms to inform decisions.
• Drive FP&A and long-range planning; build scenario models for business cases and new initiatives, linking daily results to long-term goals.
• Segment analytics: for property, optimize cash flow and support capital/project planning; for long-term care, turn funding, occupancy, and staffing metrics into actionable strategies and benchmarks.
• Lead the Finance function and provide mentorship, direction and support to the Finance Coordinator

What You Bring

• CPA required; post-secondary diploma/degree in Finance/Accounting/Business (MBA an asset). CFA and/or real-estate credentials (e.g., CPM, CCIM) are valued.

• Experience in property management/real estate and/or not-for-profit/charitable environments desired.
• Demonstrated knowledge of the not-for-profit sector, including board governance and charitable reporting.
• Experience supporting a volunteer Board of Directors and Finance Committee: providing clear analysis and transparent reporting under the CEO’s direction.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information to non-financial audiences.
• Proficiency in SAGE 300 (or equivalent software) is desired, along with advanced Excel skills.
