Senior Finance Manager

On behalf of our client, Kitsumkalum Band, we are seeking a Senior Finance Manager to lead the Band’s accounting function based in Terrace, BC. Kitsumkalum is both a tribe proper of the Tsimshian Nation, being one of fourteen tribes of the Tsimshian Nation, and an Indian Band as defined by the Indian Act. Kitsumkalum is a proud Galts’ap (community) of the Tsimshian Nation, of which there are seven located in Northwestern British Columbia. The Tsimshian tribal territories stretch from the British Columbia/Alaska border in the north to Milbanke Sound in the south, and in land to Fiddler Creek on the Skeena River to the east, and halfway to Haida Gwaii to the west in the Hecate Strait. The Tsimshian people have lived in this region since time immemorial, with Kitsumkalum situated at the Kitsumkalum River confluence with the Skeena River.

Reporting to the Council, but with lateral lines of communication to and from the Band Manager, the Senior Finance Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the systems of the financial administration of the Band including preparing, administering, and monitoring operating and capital budgets, monthly accounting, and financial planning and reporting. The Senior Finance Manager will create and present financial reports, implement financial plans and policies, ensure best accounting practices are met, and train and mentor a team.
