Job Description & How to Apply Below
AIMA is seeking a Finance & Nation Support Advisor to support financial operations, audit preparation, reporting, and community-based financial administration work. This role is ideal for someone with solid finance or accounting experience who understands the realities First Nations communities face, including funding restrictions, reporting pressures, community priorities, and the need for practical, relationship-based support. The role is intended as a strong mid-level position rather than a senior leadership post, which better matches the compensation range and the support-focused nature of the work.
The senior version of this role emphasized deep ISC/INAC funding, governance, and leadership responsibilities, while your current need is a more hands‑on support role.
Key Responsibilities
Support day-to-day financial administration, file organization, and documentation management
Assist with audit preparation, reconciliations, and reporting support
Work with First Nation staff, administrators, and AIMA team members to improve financial processes
Assist with tracking funding agreements and reporting requirements
Help organize records related to ISC/INAC and other funded programs
Support budgeting, internal reporting, and financial workflow improvements
Assist with payroll-related financial documentation and coordination
Help create practical templates, tools, and trackers for community and internal use
Travel to First Nations communities as required to support projects and capacity building
Qualifications
Diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in accounting, bookkeeping, finance, or financial administration
Experience supporting audits, reporting, reconciliations, or year-end preparation
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to manage confidential financial information professionally
Strong Assets
Experience working with First Nations communities, Indigenous organizations, or funded program environments
Familiarity with ISC/INAC funding agreements, reporting requirements, and how funding flows through programs and community operations
Understanding of challenges faced by First Nations communities, especially on-reserve operational realities
Experience working with leadership, administrators, or finance teams in community settings
AFOA-related training or similar finance/community capacity experience is an asset
