Wellness Awaits You in the Village of Ashcroft. A small town nestled along the banks of the Thompson River with clean air, clean water, locally produced foods, ample hiking and walking opportunities with affordable housing. We are often the official hot spot not only in BC but in Canada. The common feeling when you cross the river into Ashcroft is that you have come home. Located one hour from Kamloops and four hours from downtown Vancouver all of the amenities you could ask for are within reach while living in a community where your commute is measured in minutes even if you are walking. If this sounds like a lifestyle that meets your needs read on.

The Village of Ashcroft is seeking to fill a key vacancy in the municipality’s organization – a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). If you are a positive, creative and self-directed individual who enjoys being part of a Management team in a small but fast paced office this is the place for you.

Reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer, responsibilities include all statutory duties of the financial officer as described under the Community Charter including asset management, budget preparation, financial analysis, funding applications and financial reporting requirements. The CFO will supervise the office staff, provide human resource support and will provide advice to Council on the long term goals and financial health of the community. As the Management team is small, the CFO and CAO will work together on various municipal projects to ensure an affordable and vibrant lifestyle for our residents. The CFO will provide coverage for Council in the absence of the CAO.

The preferred candidate will have a professional accounting degree (CGA, CMA, CA) with experience in a municipality, however if you have a business degree, or are part way to completing your accounting designation we would like to hear from you. The Village uses the VADIM accounting software. This is a management position with a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefit package. We invite you to check out our website at www.ashcroftbc.ca.

All applications must be received by 4:00 pm on Friday, March 13, 2015.
