Job description

We're looking for a Senior Financial Analyst who genuinely enjoys turning numbers into stories the business can act on. Sitting at the heart of our FP&A team, you'll support and own budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis while championing smarter, faster ways of working. You're a lifelong learner who pairs deep FP&A instincts with sharp analytical and critical-thinking skills, and you're just as comfortable building a nuanced financial model as you are explaining it in plain language to a room of non-finance colleagues. If you get a little thrill from automating a manual report or spotting the trend everyone else missed, you'll feel right at home here.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day of our FP&A engine — support the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and ongoing management reporting, and help shape the planning, budgeting, and forecasting process and systems as they grow.
• Build and maintain the complex financial models the business relies on to make decisions, keeping them accurate, well-documented, and easy for others to pick up.
• Prepare clear, insightful financial reports — collecting, analyzing, formatting, and presenting information so leaders can act quickly.
• Lead cash management and cash-flow scenario planning, helping the business stay ahead of what's coming.
• Establish and monitor yearly COGS plans, breaking them into realistic monthly, weekly, and daily targets.
• Run daily, weekly, and monthly analyses using our data warehouse to translate operational metrics into quantifiable, actionable insights that improve cost efficiency.
• Explain variances to management, spot trends early, and surface the gaps and opportunities worth chasing.
• Produce monthly showroom and District-level P&L reports, and analyze profitability across revenue, cost of service, gross margin, and operating costs at every level of the business.
• Champion automation and process improvement — use AI-assisted tools and Power BI to streamline reporting, reduce manual effort, and give the team back time for higher-value analysis.
• Partner with department heads to complete their forecasts and budgets, acting as a trusted finance thought partner rather than just a reporter of numbers.
• Work across the business — Retail Operations, CS, Marketing, and eCommerce — to understand their information needs and translate them into the right data and reporting.
• Nurture a culture of continuous improvement by enhancing, simplifying, or retiring processes to boost efficiency and strengthen controls.
• Review and reconcile data across reports maintained by different teams to keep everyone working from a single source of truth.
• Take on ad hoc analysis for executives whenever a big question needs a clear, well-reasoned answer.

Requirements

• A strong FP&A foundation — you've spent real time in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and management reporting, and you understand the levers that drive a business.
• 8+ years of experience in the finance field, with a minimum of 5 years in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) role.
• A bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, Accounting, or a related field. A professional or FP&A designation (CPA / CA / CGA / CMA / FP&A) is a strong asset.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to drive automation and process improvement — you actively look for ways to let technology handle the repetitive work so the team can focus on insight.
• Proven, practical Power BI skills — building dashboards, data models, and self-serve reporting that people across the business use.
• Excellent financial modeling skills and advanced Excel, with solid working knowledge of PowerPoint and Word.
• Comfort with Business Intelligence tools generally; familiarity with SQL is a nice-to-have but not the focus of this role.
• Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sense of complex data and translate it into a clear point of view.
• Excellent communication (fluent in English), presentation, and interpersonal skills — you can work closely with colleagues at every level and hold your own with senior stakeholders.
• Strong organization and attention to detail, with a demonstrated ability to work independently, juggle multiple projects, prioritize, and keep a high volume of deadlines on track.
• An entrepreneurial, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset — you're comfortable with ambiguity and a fast pace, and you bring a resourceful, can-do attitude.
• Business curiosity and a genuine drive for results — you ask good questions, think critically about strategic issues, and care about the outcome, not just the output.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary range of $85,000 to $110,000 CAD, commensurate with experience
• This role is eligible for equity, contributing to a competitive total compensation package.
• Comprehensive benefits, growth opportunities, and the chance to shape a critical growth function at a pivotal stage.
• Flexible and Hybrid Working Environment
• Discounted Employee pricing
• Free Suit Every Year
• 3 weeks' vacation on joining the company
• Paid Birthday Time Off

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to building an inclusive team. If you're excited about this role but don't tick every box, we'd still love to hear from you.
