What kind of an organization do you want to work in? What kind of people do you want to be your associates and colleagues? What do you believe in?
What we believe is that if employees are treated right, our customers will be treated right and if our customers are treated right, then our shareholders will be treated right. That is the employee-oriented focus behind FINCAD's success.
Since its inception, FINCAD has benefited from the expertise and commitment of great people doing excellent work. We need smart, dedicated team players to help us to build more value in our business by delivering more value to our customers across the globe.
FINCAD is a growing organization, but we are still small enough that every individual can see the difference he or she makes in our results.
In a team culture, commitment takes more than one form. Our first core value recognizes that we can only win as a team. Everyone at FINCAD takes his or her commitment to the other team members and to the company seriously. We demand it of each other.
In turn, the company is also committed to its employees. FINCAD takes care of its employees with attractive compensation and a lifestyle and benefits program that is ahead of typical industry standards.
But there is more to working than just the work. We all want to work in an environment that is enjoyable, vibrant and respectful, one that encourages individual growth, empowerment and participation and one that appreciates diversity, shares success and rewards excellence. At FINCAD we are working together to build that culture.
Our Compensation Philosophy
FINCAD is a knowledge-based business. The creation of shareholder wealth depends solely on the people who work for the organization. We value highly skilled, entrepreneurial people who desire success and recognize the value of being a member of the team.
In order to attract and retain highly skilled people, our compensation philosophy is designed to reward employees who are team players and who desire an intellectually challenging environment while achieving personal and corporate success. All compensation programs will be aligned with the needs of the shareholders by having portion of total compensation directly related to corporate profitability and corporate strategic objectives.
The FINCAD compensation program includes attractive base salary, together with a success-based annual cash incentive plan for all non-commissioned employees and a long term, option-based plan to reward exceptional contribution or performance.
Life is About Learning
Life doesn't stand still and neither do we. As an organization FINCAD strives to become better at everything we do. As individuals each of us knows that to have enriching working lives we all need to learn and grow. Facing new challenges and learning new things are what makes work fulfilling.
That's why FINCAD has implemented an Employee Learning Program. Each year the company allocates available funds to finance the further development of skills and abilities for every employee. Each employee works with his or her manager to create an Annual Learning Plan.
It may seem counterintuitive, but we want you to build your resume. In a knowledge business the company's resume is only as good as the sum of its team members' resumes. FINCAD is a great place to learn and grow.

A Great PLACE to Work
Work is more than just who you work with and what you do. It's where you do it, too. FINCAD's offices are located in the Central City Tower in Surrey, a unique and modern high-tech friendly office tower.
Central City won a global design award in 2004 for its stunning design and its innovative combination of a university facility with an office tower and major shopping mall.
Central City provides a sophisticated urban environment in a suburban location close to an ample supply of attractive housing, ranging from sea-side apartments to condominiums and detached housing. More than 25% of metropolitan Vancouver's work force lives in Surrey, yet only 4% are able to work here.
Our offices are bright, airy and professional, as well as 100% open-plan. Not even the CEO has a private office. That way everyone enjoys the bright natural light from floor to ceiling windows and a spectacular 270 degree view of the Coastal Mountains and metropolitan Vancouver.
Our facility is co-located with the newest campus of Simon Fraser University, BC's second largest university. SFU Surrey is a research-oriented campus that focuses on Computing Science, Business Administration and Interactive Arts and Technology.
The attached mall includes more than 100 shops and services including restaurants and a food fair, all under the same roof.
Unlike downtown offices, parking is free. However, across the street is a SkyTrain light rail station that travels to the center of Vancouver in less than 35 minutes, as well as a major bus terminal that connects to all parts of greater Vancouver. Working at FINCAD means you can commute to work from anywhere in greater Vancouver in a reasonable time and avoid the rush hour crush to and from downtown Vancouver.
Vancouver Lifestyle
Working at FINCAD means living in metropolitan Vancouver. Vancouver was voted "Best City in the Americas" in 2004 by Conde Nast Traveler magazine, based on the categories of ambience, friendliness, culture and sites, restaurants, lodging, and shopping. This is just one of our city's many awards and accolades that clearly demonstrate the many reasons to live in metropolitan Vancouver.
