Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District
CHIEF FISCAL OFFICER
Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, Reno, Nevada, United States, 89550
The Mission: Finance at the Front Line of Public Safety
This is not a traditional CFO role. It is an opportunity to be a strategic guardian of public trust, leading the financial operations that directly support the mission of one of Nevada's most critical first-response agencies: the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD).
Quarterly profits do not drive us; we are driven by a solemn pledge: Committed to excellence, service, and the protection of life and property in our community. As CFO, your financial strategy will be the bedrock that ensures our firefighters, equipment, and stations are mission-ready when seconds count. We are seeking a highly professional and dynamic executive who wants a career with profound, measurable public impact.
The Impact: Translating Dollars into Direct Community Safety

Long-Range Readiness:
Directly oversee long-term capital forecasting to ensure the timely funding and construction of new fire stations and the procurement of state-of-the-art emergency apparatus.

This role requires a leader who is comfortable leveraging finance as a tool for strategic governance and operational enhancement.

Executive Advisory:

Public Finance:
Coordinate and manage the issuance of public debt and bonds to fund critical infrastructure projects. Monitor debt covenants and lead the annual update of the debt management policy.
Leadership, Integrity, and Cultural Fit The ideal candidate for TMFPD is a leader who embodies integrity and understands the unique mission of a public safety organization.

You must maintain and champion the highest standards of ethical conduct, fiscal integrity, and absolute transparency.
