About the Role
We're looking for a Financial Analyst, FP&A to support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis across corporate and site-level cost centers. This remote Canada role will focus on recurring reporting, variance analysis, cash-flow management, and rolling forecasts while helping strengthen our growing FP&A function.
Over time, you'll grow into a trusted finance partner to operational, clinical, and site leaders. You'll help maintain shared models, automate recurring reporting, and create useful dashboards. This role is a great fit for someone analytical, curious, adaptable, and eager to learn and collaborate.
What You’ll Do
-
Budgeting & Forecasting: Support the annual budgeting process and periodic re-forecasts, build and maintain rolling forecasts, and track variances to flag risks and opportunities early.
-
Financial Modeling: Build and continuously improve financial models supporting site performance, study/trial economics, and new business cases, and develop KPI and unit-economics tracking (cost per site, trial margin, revenue per therapeutic area).
-
Business Partnership: Serve as a trusted finance partner to operational, clinical, and site leaders, preparing monthly and quarterly business reviews with variance commentary and recommendations.
-
Dashboards & Reporting: Build dashboards and reporting packages in Excel, Power BI, or similar tools that give stakeholders self-service visibility into their numbers.
-
Team Collaboration: Work closely with other FP&A analysts on the shared financial model, helping maintain data integrity and building repeatable analytics processes rather than one-off analyses.
-
FP&A Function Buildout: Help establish core recurring tasks and best practices as the function matures, including resource optimization analysis and integrated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow modeling.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You:
-
Have a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field is preferred; equivalent education or relevant experience will also be considered.
-
Bring relevant experience or demonstrated capability in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or a similarly analytical role. Early-career through experienced candidates are welcome.
-
Have strong Excel skills for your career stage, including lookups, pivot tables, SUMIFS, and sensitivity or scenario modeling, along with sound financial-modeling fundamentals.
-
Are curious, coachable, and comfortable learning new financial systems and tools, with an interest in automating or streamlining manual processes.
-
Have a solid grasp of core accounting and finance principles (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, unit economics).
-
Communicate financial information clearly to non-finance audiences and build strong, collaborative working relationships.
-
Are proactive, adaptable, and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and contribute wherever help is needed.
-
Experience in healthcare, life sciences, biotech, pharma, or a clinical research organization (CRO/IRO/site network) is a plus, not a requirement.
-
Familiarity with planning or BI tools such as Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, NetSuite Planning and Budgeting, Power BI, or Tableau is an asset.
-
Exposure to ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics, or working knowledge of SQL, is an asset.
-
A CPA designation, or active pursuit of one, is preferred but not required.
