The Budget Director performs and develops highly complex financial, budgetary, and reconciliation analyses, and is responsible for the coordination and development of the Town’s operating budget.  The Town has an FY 2021 budget of $317 million and a mil rate of 26.79 per $1000 assessed value.

The minimum qualifications for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a closely related field and two years of experience, OR an Associate Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field and five years of experience in Finance, Bookkeeping, Accounting or a related field.  An equivalent combination of appropriate education and/or experience will be considered when deemed sufficient to perform the duties of this position.  A background in accounting or finance is highly preferred.

The selected candidate should have experience in creating, preparing, and presenting complex spreadsheets, charts, and financial reports through strong Microsoft Office skills including advanced Excel, intermediate PowerPoint, and Word.

This position is represented by the Fairfield Professional and Technical Employee Association. The CBA between the Town of Fairfield and the Association sets forth specific negotiated terms and conditions and employment, including salary and benefit information.
