Headquartered just 11 minutes south of Seattle, Washington, in the city of Burien, King County Fire District #2 provides fire and EMS services to Burien and the neighboring communities of Normandy Park and North Highline. The City of Burien and the City of Normandy Park are both waterfront communities located along the shores of the vast Puget Sound. With miles of shoreline, expansive 360-degree mountain views, diverse neighborhoods, and surrounding local amenities and recreation, the area is a conveniently located hidden jewel in the Pacific Northwest.
King County Fire District #2 (KCFD2) is governed by a three-member Board of Commissioners and operates on a 2023 budget of roughly $23 million, with 76 FTEs. The District currently has a Finance & HR Manager who has overseen the combined duties which are being split into two positions due to retirement and the District absorbing another fire district. The new Administrative Division will consist of 5 FTEs, including the new incoming Fire Chief, the new Finance Manager, the new Human Resources Manager, and two current accounting and administrative professionals. While the Finance Manager will initially report to the Fire Chief, final reporting relationships will be determined by the skill set of the two new hires. It is anticipated that the incoming Finance Manager will be responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the organization, including the management of the annual audit, preparation of the annual financial report, and ensuring compliance with notice requirements and records retention policies. Additionally, the Finance Manager is involved in various financial processes, such as the bond worksheet, budget process, contract management, account monitoring and overseeing all aspects of the duties assigned to the accounting and administrative professionals. Grant request and tracking, and insurance renewal are also part of the Finance Manager's responsibilities. The Finance Manager oversees the monthly reimbursement process and invoicing for specific programs, manages petty cash, and ensures compliance with policies and best practices related to finance and surplus assets. Merged responsibilities of the two incoming positions may include management of LEOFF-1 Retirees, monthly processing and meeting prep, annual calculations, and annual pension adjustments. Once the new staff members have been on the job for a period of time, there may be an opportunity to negotiate limited remote working possibilities.
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university in finance, accounting, or a closely related field, plus a minimum of two years of progressively responsible finance experience (governmental experience preferred), OR any equivalent combination of training and experience which demonstrates the knowledge, skill, and ability to perform the duties of the position will be considered. A CPA is not required but is a plus.
