Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Financial Accountant / Financial Analyst to join a large banking client’s Technology organization on an initial 3-month contract with the possibility of extension. This L7 role is ideal for someone with 3–4 years of accounting, billing, or financial analysis experience who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with multiple stakeholders. The primary focus will be managing monthly billing processes, including gathering maintenance costs, contractor hours, timesheets, invoice details, and other technology-related expenses from multiple sources, obtaining approvals, and consolidating the information into final invoices. The successful candidate will also support monthly accruals and recurring billing, invoice and payment reconciliation, financial reporting, variance analysis, and transactional queries. Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills are important, as the role involves frequent follow-ups with senior stakeholders to obtain information and approvals. Candidates should be comfortable using Excel, including VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP, while experience with SAP or Jira is considered an asset but is not required. A CPA or CFA designation would also be considered an asset but is not necessary. This is a hybrid position with regular on-site work, and the successful candidate should be available to start ASAP following onboarding.

We may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with the screening, assessment, or selection of potential applicants for this position.

Vacancy: This posting is for a currently vacant role, and the successful candidate will be hired into an existing open position.
