Full job description
The Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies
About the Role
Title: Financial Innovation Associate
Team: Shorefast Institute
Location: Remote work position, available to applicants based in Fogo Island or St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, or in the Toronto (GTA) region of Ontario.
Who We Are
The Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies is a national initiative to build, learn, and share practices that strengthen local economies in service of place. The Institute's work is organized around three interconnected programs — Economic Nutrition, Shorenet, and The Forge.
Modeled on food nutrition labelling, the Economic Nutrition Certification Mark reveals the economics beyond price for any product or service: what every dollar pays for and where it goes. Following a successful national pilot in 2025, Economic Nutrition is scaling across Canada and drawing international attention, including selection in 2026 as a top ten Edge of Government innovation by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation and Apolitical.
The Shorefast Institute is part of Shorefast, the charity behind Fogo Island Inn. 100 percent of Shorefast's operating surpluses are reinvested into building a resilient future for Fogo Island. Learn more about us: institute.shorefast.org
The Opportunity
The Financial Innovation Associate grows with the program: an accounting professional who wants to use their financial skills to contribute to a program directing investment back into the places we live. This is not a typical accounting role. The Associate is the analytical backbone of the certification process, working directly with businesses from single-location social enterprises to large national companies, and helps redefine what it means to be a “creative accountant” by developing new economic tools and reports powered by accounting data for businesses and regions across the country.
Reporting to, and mentored by, the Manager, Financial Innovation, the role contributes to program delivery and operations alongside an ambitious team.
What You'll Do
Certification analysis. Complete the first pass review of every Economic Nutrition certification:analyzing business financial data, validating inputs, and preparing certifications for senior approval. Serve as the primary point of contact for businesses during their certification window, guiding them through the process with clarity and care.
Renewals and standards. Lead annual renewal reviews and help maintain the certification standards documentation. As new edge cases and business models emerge, contribute to writing the rulebook for a first of its kind certification.
Insights and advocacy. Dig into regional certification data to surface the insights that power the Institute's advocacy reports and point to targeted areas for investment that strengthen local supply chains.
Large business engagements. Provide financial analysis support on engagements with larger enterprises, where certification becomes a deeper consulting relationship.
Program delivery. Over time, facilitate the financial and data sections of the Economic Nutrition program, teaching business owners and regional partners how to read and act on their own numbers.
Program operations. Share in the administration that keeps a growing national program running, including contracts and payment tracking, participant onboarding, scheduling, and KPI tracking alongside the program team.
Qualifications and Experience
Two to three years of accounting or finance experience.
CPA designation or actively pursuing it. Recent CFE writers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Strong analytical skills and fluency with financial statements, with the ability to work confidently with imperfect, real-world business data.
Excellent communication skills, especially the ability to explain financial concepts to audiences who are not finance specialists, with patience and warmth.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, and comfort balancing analytical work with program administration.
Bilingualism in English and French would be an asset.
A genuine interest in community economic development, social enterprise, or place-based economies, and in building creative financial tools that direct money into the places we live.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity in a growing program and working closely with a team.
Willing to travel occasionally for workshops, cohort delivery and team gatherings, including to Fogo Island.
Entrepreneurial spirit and positive attitude.
Commitment to upholding the vision and goals of Fogo Island Inn, Shorefast Foundation, and other affiliated organizations.
Ability to excel in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
Sensitivity to the history and culture of rural Newfoundland.
What We Offer
Competitive salary ($65,000–$75,000 per annum), full-time, permanent position
Health and dental benefits, along with access to an employee assistance program for mental health support and work/life services
Team member discounts within our businesses (Fogo Island Inn and Fogo Island Workshops)
Travel to Fogo Island, and allowances for travel
The technology necessary to complete your work
An engaged, highly supportive, and collaborative environment that encourages creativity and curiosity
The opportunity to work in a thriving social enterprise
Continued learning and professional development opportunities

Established as a registered charity in 2004, Shorefast was created to build economic and cultural resilience on Fogo Island, Newfoundland – a region previously devastated by the decline of the cod fishery. With an enduring commitment to Fogo Island, Shorefast is expanding its work for greater reach by sharing new models of place-based economic development with other communities, big and small.
Shorefast is a registered charity that operates a set of charitable programs and owns social businesses in service of the local community. Together, they represent a determined effort to think holistically about how to find a way of life that is equitable, dignified, sustainable – and joyful.
Shorefast’s charitable programs comprise a set of initiatives that hold relevance to community economic development – making it possible for local communities to thrive in the global economy.
Shorefast’s social businesses were established to help grow another leg on Fogo Island’s economy, create meaningful employment, generate earnings to be reinvested in the community. Our businesses build on the inherent assets and strengths of place, capitalizing on the skills, culture, and imagination unique to Fogo Island. There is no private gain — all profits are reinvested in the community through Shorefast’s charitable programs.
