Financial Intelligence Unit Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

Finance Manager - Jonas Software

Job Description:

Our business is one in which building relationships and working with others on the team are critical. The position requires a skilled verbal and written communicator with the confidence and polish to speak with senior executives, accountants, and colleagues.

You are driven to perform, results-oriented and willing to do what it takes. You have excellent interpersonal skills and are an enthusiastic energetic self-starter with a strong sense of customer focus. You are extremely organized and do not let details slip through the cracks. You are a strong listener and collaborative individual, who likes to put forward suggestions and ideas on how to improve the status quo, with a strong focus on process management. You are comfortable being the senior finance voice in the room with business leadership, and confident making and defending judgment calls where there is no established playbook. You are comfortable owning a dynamic financial reporting and compliance calendar while remaining responsive to the operational priorities of the business units you support. You understand that finance runs on a cycle, and that a growing portfolio brings periods of higher intensity alongside quieter stretches. You are interested in how technology and AI are changing the finance function and look for opportunities to apply them.
