Job Description

The Senior Manager, Canada FP&A & Controllership plays a critical role in ensuring financial accuracy, integrity, and strategic alignment across the Canadian organization. Reporting directly to the CFO, with a dotted-line relationship to the Director, FP&A & Controllership, this role strengthens financial governance, enhances cross-functional accountability, and elevates the quality of financial insights supporting key decisions. The Senior Manager leads the consolidation, validation, and governance of all FP&A deliverables—including budgets, forecasts, and monthly results—while ensuring full alignment with North American (NORAM) reporting requirements and timelines. Acting as the trusted gatekeeper of financial accuracy, the role ensures insights and numbers are reliable, consistent, and ready for executive consumption. The Senior Manager also drives process efficiency, leveraging automation and AI-enabled tools to streamline workflows, enhance governance, and deepen analytical capabilities. Through cross-functional partnership and disciplined financial stewardship, the Senior Manager supports Canadian leadership and NORAM partners in advancing the organization’s financial performance and strategic objectives.

FP&A Consolidation, Governance & Accuracy :

  • Lead the consolidation of all Canadian FP&A outputs, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and alignment across business units.
  • Govern the end-to-end budget, forecast, and monthly results processes; validate all submissions for completeness, integrity, and narrative quality.

  • Synthesize complex financial data into clear, compelling insights that highlight key drivers, trends, risks, and opportunities, enabling informed and timely decision-making.
  • Develop strong narratives that connect financial performance to operational realities, ensuring leadership receives context-rich, actionable analysis rather than raw data.
  • Conduct deep-dive and ad hoc analyses on performance issues, structural cost drivers, commercial trends, and scenario outcomes to support strategic planning and performance management.
  • Anticipate leadership needs by proactively identifying emerging trends or variances and recommending actions to mitigate risks or capitalize on opportunities.
  • Financial Process Optimization & AI-Enabled Efficiency :

  • Identify opportunities to improve FP&A processes, accelerate timelines, and reduce manual effort.
  • Champion the use of AI tools and automation to enhance forecasting, reporting, accuracy checks, and data management.
  • Implement best practices to streamline workflows, improve data integrity, and strengthen governance.
  • Controllership Interface & Financial Controls Governance :

  • Partner closely with Controllership to ensure alignment between FP&A outputs and accounting results.
  • Verify accuracy of month-end close inputs that impact FP&A deliverables.
  • Support internal control processes and ensure consistency between actuals, forecasts, and narratives.
  • Cross-Functional Financial Collaboration :

  • Collaborate with all areas of Finance to ensure accuracy, integration, and consistency in financial reporting and analysis.
  • Segment Finance : Validate business-unit submissions, challenge assumptions, ensure alignment with corporate timelines, and reconcile BU insights to consolidated results.
  • Controllership : Align FP&A results to accounting actuals, ensure accuracy during month-end close, and reconcile adjustments and classifications.
  • Tax : Incorporate tax considerations relevant to forecasting, cash-flow expectations, and performance narratives (without direct ownership of tax activities).
  • Supply Finance : Validate impacts related to procurement activities, vendor agreements, and margin performance.
  • Procurement & Operations Finance : Integrate operational and procurement assumptions into budgets, forecasts, and performance reviews.
  • HR / Payroll Finance : Confirm labour-related assumptions, headcount metrics, and monthly variance drivers.

  • Support Special Projects. Offer financial expertise for special projects, including partnerships, new business models, and mergers & acquisitions, ensuring robust analysis and strategic alignment with overall business objectives.
  • Act as Key Financial Liaison. Serve as the key financial liaison for NORAM financial integration from Canada, ensuring seamless collaboration and alignment with regional financial strategies.
  • Collaborate as a Trusted Advisor. Partner closely with the CFO and other senior leaders, providing insightful financial analysis and strategic recommendations to drive informed decision-making.
