Evergreen - Chief Financial Officer
Evergreen, a non profit environmental organization based in Toronto with satellite offices in Vancouver and Calgary, is currently seeking a fulltime Chief Financial Officer to provide leadership in the development of its overarching financial systems. As a key member in the senior management team, the CFO reports to the Executive Director, works closely with the Operations Director and provides leadership in the organization’s growth, focusing on systems development, financing, risk management and reporting to key stakeholders.
Evergreen is a fast paced, innovative charity that builds relationships between nature, culture and community in urban spaces. Evergreen has a “project based” business model but is currently developing a $55 million capital project at the Brick Works in Toronto, as a new home for the organization’s work. This project requires new financial and organizational processes as Evergreen builds this new institutional base.
The CFO will provide leadership of Evergreen’s financial policies, procedures and systems development (Microsoft Dynamics) for the organization as a whole, including the Brick Works as a capital project (budget, cash flow, bank financing, tenant lease negotiations, site management, and ongoing business plan management to opening day and beyond). This will require appreciation of planned revenue streams and business development as well as CRA parameters. The CFO will act as the external face of Evergreen’s financial and risk management functions and handle key relationships with various levels of government, banks, and the Board of Directors. This function may include the “officer” role of Secretary/ Treasurer – at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The successful candidate should have a CA designation (MBA, CMA also considered favourable), 15+ years of financial management and judgment experience, and previous CFO responsibilities. Knowledge of project-based organizations, property management and retail operation are key assets.
If you are looking for an opportunity to apply your knowledge and experience in shaping a unique and creative social enterprise, please indicate your interest by forwarding your cv to tderderian@evergreen.ca by March 31, 2008.
