We are seeking a detail-oriented Financial Consultant, to step into an FP&A Senior Manager role, for a 12-16 month period, while the organization embarks on an ERP implementation.

This role delivers strategic insight to guide organizational decision‑making, supports budgeting and forecasting cycles, advances financial modelling and operational review work, and contributes to ongoing transformation and process‑improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and support the annual budgeting cycle by partnering with Operations, Finance Managers, and Corporate Services to develop accurate, achievable financial plans aligned with organizational priorities.
• Identify and analyze key business drivers to enhance budgeting efficiency and strengthen ongoing monitoring of operational performance.
• Participate in finance and operational review meetings to interpret financial results, explain variances, and provide clear insights into performance trends.
• Build, refine, and document financial models that inform forecasting, program funding assessments, cost‑per‑unit analysis, and broader decision‑making needs.
• Contribute to long‑term forecasting activities, deferred revenue analysis, proposal costing, ROI evaluations, new revenue stream assessments, and other strategic or ad hoc financial projects.
• Recommend enhancements to financial policies, practices, reporting processes, and automation opportunities while ensuring alignment with current financial standards and compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with Information Systems and corporate services teams to strengthen data availability, improve reporting tools, and support efficient, technology‑enabled financial processes.

The ideal candidate is an experienced FP&A professional with a strong academic foundation in business, accounting, or finance and at least five years of progressive FP&A experience. You will bring senior‑level leadership capability, demonstrated through managing teams or guiding complex financial workstreams, and possess deep technical knowledge of reporting standards—ideally gained within a not‑for‑profit environment. You will excel in financial modelling, budgeting, forecasting, costing, and analytical problem‑solving, supported by advanced Excel skills and a disciplined, structured approach to project management. You are savvy at communicating complex financial concepts clearly to non‑financial audiences, drive process improvements and automation, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast‑paced operational setting. Professional CPA designation, along with experience using ERP systems and reporting tools, further strengthen their ability to deliver immediate value in this temporary full‑time role.

What would make someone stand out:
