Finance Analyst (Intermediate)

About the Role

This role sits on the Financial Reporting team at a leading energy infrastructure company, reporting to the Manager of Financial Reporting with day-to-day guidance from the Team Lead for Financial Performance, MD&A, and Disclosures. It is an execution-focused position centered on preparing, reconciling, and coordinating financial reporting and regulatory disclosures across quarterly and annual cycles, not a review or supervisory role.

The right person for this seat is a detail-oriented accounting professional who takes full ownership of assigned reporting responsibilities, thrives during high-volume close periods, and brings advanced Excel skills alongside a genuine interest in process improvement. Someone who is self-directed, communicates clearly with both finance and business-unit partners, and requires minimal day-to-day oversight will feel right at home here.
