Are you a high-level fiscal professional ready to drive financial excellence for the State of Utah? The Utah Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC) is seeking a strategic and detail-oriented Financial Manager II to oversee our day-to-day fiscal operations. Reporting directly to the Director of UOVC, you will be the engine behind the agency’s financial integrity, ensuring every dollar is accounted for and every fiscal process is optimized.

In this role, you aren’t just managing spreadsheets—you are a critical bridge between complex data and real-world policy impact. We are looking for a manager who can take full ownership of budget management, expenditure monitoring, and the annual close-out process. You will serve as a key technical advisor during the legislative session, modeling the fiscal impact of new bills and ensuring our office remains in 100% compliance with both state and federal policies and regulations.

As the primary point of contact for state and federal auditors, you will promote transparency and provide the insights necessary to illustrate the financial health of our office. Whether you are a public-sector veteran or a private-sector expert looking to transition into a high-impact mission, we invite you to bring your analytical logic and leadership to the UOVC team.

• Fiscal Year Stewardship: Direct the comprehensive annual close-out process to ensure the precise recording of all revenues and expenditures in alignment with state and federal requirements.
• Financial Transparency: Produce high-fidelity financial reports that provide stakeholders with a clear, transparent view of the office’s fiscal health and long-term sustainability.

Financial Coordination and Oversight

• Daily Financial Activities: Supervise financial analysts and assist in daily work assignments and tasks.
• Travel System Coordinator: Ensure staff are aware of and compliant with state travel policies and procedures.

Legislative & Audit Partnership

• Legislative Impact Analysis: Partner with agency leadership and program managers to model and estimate the fiscal impact of proposed legislation during general and special sessions.
• Authorized Liaison: Serve as the central point of contact for financial interactions with the Governor’s Office, Legislative Fiscal Analysts, and both state and federal auditors.
• Compliance & Audit Management: Coordinate with auditing bodies to ensure sound accounting practices; interpret findings and implement strategic recommendations to maintain 100% compliance with applicable laws.

• Expert Advisory: Respond authoritatively to inquiries from legislators, subcommittees, and legislative staff regarding the office’s financial standing and regulatory adherence.
