Job description

VP of Finance

Victoria, BC – Full time

Salary : $155,000 – $235,000

Are You a Clever Duck?

Take a gander at this post…

Accent Inns Inc. is a BC‑based hospitality company that is different in a good way. Here, we LEAD WITH LOVE, and our number one metric is the happiness of our staff, who we call our Fam‑Jam. Our Fall 2025 Employee Survey showed that 95% of our employees are happy to work here, with a 95% participation rate!

We have two hotel chains : Accent Inns, where there is a rubber duck in every room, and Hotel Zed, where we rebel against the ordinary. Our latest venture is ROAR, our live‑fire restaurant in Tofino, BC. We’re adding to our executive crew—the Care Bears (so named because “Executive Team” = yawn)—and we’re looking for a VP of Finance to join our totally unique, fun‑loving flock of rebels.

Who We Are

This role reports to our President, Chris Campbell, and will work closely with our outstanding CEO, Mandy Farmer, to support Mandy’s future vision of Accent Inns, Hotel Zed, and ROAR. You will also support and lead our fantastic crew of finance experts to help the rest of the organization with its finance and accounting needs.

  • We have been named one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ four years in a row.
  • We received the Tourism Industry Association of Canada’s Business of the Year award for our outstanding business growth.
  • We received the Employer of the Year award from Tourism Canada.
  • We have doubled our revenue and tripled our profits in the last nine years.
  • Mandy Farmer was named Hotelier of the Year by Hotelier Magazine and RBC Women of Influence Entrepreneur of the Year.

Key to our success is living by our four Core Values every day :

  • Be Real
  • Have Fun
  • Make Everything Better
  • Have Each Other’s Backs
  • Benefits & Work Perks

  • Free nights at any of our hotels + discounts for your friends & family.
  • Live your Best Life fund (we’ll help pay for courses that’ll make your life better, whether or not they’re related to your role with us).
  • Employee purchase program so you can get sweet deals on everything from electronics to linens.
  • Executive leadership development and coaching with our veteran executive coach.
  • Free nights at the Rebel Hideaway, a cabin in Tofino, BC.
  • And MORE!
  • What the Role is Quacked Up to Be

    The VP of Finance will be wholly responsible for our financial compliance and ensuring all other Care Bears have the financial information they need to execute in their departments. This role will increase the organization’s financial literacy and competence and will be key in setting our long‑term strategic plan.

    Your role is to keep the Care Bear group informed on up‑to‑date financials, consider industry trends, and provide strategic input on the growth and success of our brands. This will require someone who can balance the organization's needs with those of our people while ensuring we have our eyes on the future and leverage our current assets to their maximum potential.

    As a Care Bear, you will deliver and execute the organization's strategic vision for your team and department and support Operations with their financial needs. This includes working with your fellow Care Bears to set strategic goals and a vision across all the organization's brands and touchpoints.

    As a leader, you will lead and nurture the development and growth of a high‑performing and unique team, be a DEIB champion, and leverage your team's collective capacity to deliver on our purpose, values, and strategy. You are an astute coach and mentor who motivates others to be their best and will build strength in every corner of our operation. You are an exact communicator and translator of vision towards a common goal of growth and success.
