Manager - Finance and Hospitality Administration
About the role
Location: Langford, BC
Cherish at Central Park is a vibrant age-in-place seniors’ community where residents are loved like family and staff create meaningful connections every day. This role requires a strong financial background and understanding of accounting, but - at Cherish - our success is all about the people. From socializing with a resident at a special event, to coaching accounting staff with patience and compassion, no two days are ever the same. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and value building trust, consistency, and community, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead full-cycle accounting and finance functions, including Sage accounting, Ceridian payroll, compliance, purchasing, and timely monthly reporting.
- Supervise and support administration across multiple teams: front desk, bookkeeping, hospitality, leisure, housekeeping, and maintenance.
- Oversee policy, procedure, and task management for accuracy, consistency, and compliance.
- Guide implementation of digital platforms for food service administration
- Provide mentorship, coaching, and training to our front desk and bookkeeping teams, helping them grow with confidence. Embrace flexibility - whether it’s troubleshooting an urgent issue, socializing with residents, or problem-solving unexpected challenges.
What We’re Looking For:
- CPA designation (or equivalent experience) with a strong accounting and financial management background. You need to understand debits, credits and journal entries.
- Proven leadership experience (2-3+ years) in managing teams in a professional environment
- Strong technical expertise with Sage, MS Office, and digital system implementation.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills - empathetic, patient, and approachable - with the ability to connect authentically with residents, families, and staff.
- Organized and adaptable, able to balance structure with flexibility in a fast-paced 24/7/365 community.
- Eden Associates & Experience working in seniors’ living, healthcare, or hospitality environments is preferred. Must be prepared to occasionally respond to calls or emergencies outside of regular office hours.
Why Join Cherish?
At Cherish, you’ll find more than a workplace - you’ll find a community where integrity, dedication, competence, caring, and laughter matter every day. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors and their families, while also leading a dedicated team with empathy and professionalism.
Be part of something special. Apply today and help us create Cherished Moments every day.
