THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT AND POSITION…
We are dividing our current Fiscal operations into two separate sections under the direction of the Deputy for Finance: A Finance Office, which will manage budgeting, payables, receivables and like functions. And a Comptroller's Office, which will handle accounting and reporting. The relationship between the Deputy for Finance, the Director of Finance, and the Comptroller is a critical partnership.
They will be required to refocus, reorient, and then maintain a high-functioning, strong customer service-oriented Finance function which is critical to meeting the needs of our large and diverse human services agency across all geographies where we serve. Both will be expected to work with Cayuga Centers' President/CEO to ensure that the Office's structure, processes, and practices consistently reflect current organizational needs, as well as finance and accounting best practices.
Under the supervision of the Comptroller, the Senior Financial Accountant maintains and administers the monthly general ledger and assists in the preparation of financial statements. The role analyzes and prepares reconciliations for various general ledger account balances. Will assist the Comptroller in preparing for Board Meetings, audits, budgets, period-end reports, and other projects as needed.
