Financial Analyst jobs in Greater Toronto Area, ON

IGI is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Senior Analyst, FP&A to join our Finance team. This role will play a critical in driving financial insight, supporting strategic decision-making, and enhancing reporting and forecasting capabilities across the organization.

The Senior Analyst, FP&A requires a highly analytical problem‑solver who can go beyond surface-level symptoms to identify root causes, develop sustainable solutions, and communicate insights in a clear, business‑friendly manner.

The ideal candidate is exceptionally strong in financial modeling, data analysis, and accounting fundamentals, with the ability to step in as a back‑up to plant or corporate Controllers when needed.

Responsibilities:

Financial Planning, Forecasting and Modeling

• Build, enhance, and maintain sophisticated financial models in Excel that support forecasting, annual budgets, long‑range planning, and scenario analysis.
• Ensure models are dynamic, assumption‑driven, and easily updated as business conditions change.
• Partner with business leaders to translate operational drivers into financial outcomes.

Data Analysis and Insights

• Extract, transform, and analyze financial and operational data using SQL, Power BI, or related tools.
• Build dashboards, KPI reports, and analytics that help leadership identify trends, risks, opportunities, and performance gaps across multiple manufacturing sites.
• Support continuous improvement of reporting processes, system integrations, and data governance.

Problem Solving and Operational Support

• Act as a first‑line problem solver—digging into data and processes to identify root causes, not just symptoms.
• Lead or support investigations into variance drivers, cost changes, margin compression, productivity issues, or other anomalies.
• Propose data‑driven corrective actions and track implementation progress.

Accounting and Controls Support

• Provide strong accounting expertise to support Controller teams, including month‑end close activities, reconciliations, journal entry review, and cost accounting fundamentals.
• Serve as a reliable back‑up to site or corporate Controllers as needed.
• Ensure compliance with internal controls, financial policies, and audit requirements.

Communication and Stakeholder Engagement

• Translate complex financial outputs into clear, concise insights tailored for non‑financial audiences.
• Prepare executive‑ready presentations, summaries, and recommendations—going beyond sending spreadsheets to deliver the underlying narrative.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, and Corporate Finance.

Required Qualifications:

• Professional accounting designation (CPA) or financial certification (CFA) is required.
• 5–10 years progressive FP&A, accounting, or financial analysis experience within a multi‑site, multi-currency manufacturing environment.
• Experience in oil & gas, industrial gases, chemical processing, or complex batch manufacturing industries is strongly preferred.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel financial modeling (index/match, Power Query, scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, etc.).
• Strong working knowledge of SQL and/or Power BI for data retrieval, modeling, and visualization.
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems and identify true underlying issues.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to distill information clearly and succinctly.
• Experience supporting both corporate and plant‑level finance teams.
