The Role

• Lead reporting and forecasting support, assisting in budget planning, cash flow tracking, and variance analysis
• Streamline processes by identifying inefficiencies in current workflows and implementing automation or system improvements
• Manage financial compliance by ensuring accuracy in tax filings, payroll reporting, and adherence to IFRS/ASPE standards
• Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across marketing, operations, and events to track and optimize spend
• Support audits and financial reviews by preparing working papers, documentation, and reconciliations for internal and external review

• Ability to communicate complex financial data clearly and simply

Preferred

• Experience in a high-growth or creative industry (media, marketing, or SaaS)
• Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks Online, Xero, or NetSuite
• Exposure to budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting
• Interest in systems, automation, and process optimization

You’re a Great Fit If You…

• Love solving problems and improving how things are done
• Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments
• Take pride in precision and proactive communication
