THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND POSITION…

The Finance Department is split into two separate sections under the direction of the Deputy for Finance. The Finance Office manages budgeting, payables, receivables and like functions and the Comptroller’s Office handles accounting and reporting. The relationship between the Deputy for Finance, the Director of Finance, and the Comptroller is a critical partnership.

They are required to refocus, reorient, and 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’s 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.

Our finance department supports all our service programs, support departments, leadership and Board of Trustees by maintaining accounting records and analyzing the financial health of the organization. This makes a difference because our financial sustainability is critical for us to serve our communities and the role that you play in all of this is maintaining and administering budget tasks for all locations within the agency to ensure appropriate use of resources.
