The Opportunity

On behalf of our client, a prominent, mission-driven provincial healthcare charity operating a highly collaborative, centralized shared-services finance hub, we are seeking an analytical and self-motivated Financial Analyst.

Retirement & Savings Security: Build long-term financial stability with a dedicated group RRSP/Pension matching program, where the organization actively matches your contributions up to 5% after your first year of service.
Generous Paid Leave Bank: Stay refreshed and recharged with a robust time-off package, including 3 weeks of vacation (to be confirmed), 18 sick days per year, 2 personal days, and 3 equity floater days (available for holiday coverage or personal use).
CPA & Professional Growth Support: Direct investment in your professional progression with 100% coverage of your annual CPA professional dues, combined with up to $1,500 annually to support professional development courses, technical training, and continuing education.

Responsibilities
1. Financial Accounting & Ledger Integrity (50% of your time)

Lead the full-cycle month-end and year-end close processes for your 3 assigned regional organizations.
Prepare and record accurate adjusting entries, perform robust balance sheet reconciliations, and execute manual data reconciliations to ensure the donor database (Raiser's Edge) and general ledger (Sage Intacct) are in perfect balance.

Under the direction of the Director of Finance, assist regional client managers in preparing structured annual budgets, mid-year forecasts, and operational resource plans.
Act as an active team partner, cross-training and providing reliable backup support for accounts payable, accounts receivable, and peer analysts during high-volume periods.

Qualifications
The Ideal Profile: Who You Are:

The Dedicated "Doer": You have an intuitive grasp of basic accounting foundations, a passion for "debits and credits," and a desire to be heavily involved in hands-on transactional work. You aren't looking to delegate; you are proud to build and maintain pristine books from scratch.
Exceptionally Autonomous: You thrive in a virtual environment, managing your own tasks and schedules productively with minimal day-to-day oversight. You are highly self-motivated and take proactive responsibility for meeting key accounting cycles.
Solution-Oriented Problem Solver: When you encounter data discrepancies or system workarounds, you react with patience, resilience, and curiosity. You treat ledger and data reconciliations as engaging puzzles and focus on building robust, reliable solutions.
Advanced Excel Specialist: You are comfortable processing large, complex datasets. You command SUMIFS, Pivot Tables, and lookups to easily manipulate and integrate financial information from disparate sources.
Mission-Driven Collaborator: You care deeply about accounting integrity and align with core values of collaboration, accountability, respect, and excellence. You enjoy supporting peers and providing AP, AR, and peer analyst backup when necessary.

What You Bring to the Team:

Technical ERP Savvy: Strong operational proficiency in cloud ERP platforms, specifically Sage Intacct (required). Experience navigating donor databases like Raiser's Edge is a highly valued asset.
Academic & CPA Tracking: A university degree in accounting, finance, or a related business field. Active enrollment in, or progress toward, a CPA designation (or equivalent foreign credential in good standing) is heavily favored.
Analytical Foundations: Flawless knowledge of transactional accounting, internal controls, and balance sheet reconciliation procedures, matched with a structured, detail-oriented workflow.
