About The Position

Solink is looking for a Finance Manager to own financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance management processes.

• 6–9 years of experience in financial reporting, analysis, or finance business partnering
• Advanced skills in Excel and Google Sheets (pivot tables, scenario modeling, automation)
• Demonstrated ability to build and own integrated financial models, not just maintain existing ones
• Strong analytical mindset with a track record of synthesizing complex data into business recommendations that influence executive decisions
• Experience supporting sales or marketing functions in a SaaS or recurring revenue environment
• Excellent communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence non-financial stakeholders and present to senior leadership or the Board
• Demonstrated interest in customer and business context — able to connect financial analysis to long-term customer value and business outcomes, not just reporting accuracy
• High ownership mentality — comfortable being accountable for outcomes with material consequences, including when an analysis or recommendation misses
• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire
• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada
• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Salesforce, NetSuite, AI tools (n8n, Claude, AppScript, Zappier, etc), databases.
• Deep understanding of SaaS metrics such as ARR, CAC, LTV, churn, and net retention
• Experience using AI-enabled or automation-driven reporting tools in a finance function
• CPA, CFA, or MBA designation (asset but not required)

Responsibilities

• Own variance analysis versus budget and forecast, translating results into clear insight and recommended action for senior leadership — not just a reporting of the numbers
• Maintain and evolve financial models linking operational drivers (ARR, headcount, margin, cash) to financial outcomes
• Partner with department leaders to interpret performance trends and surface risks or opportunities before they become material
• Own the preparation of financial decks and narratives for the Board of Directors and the Risk & Audit Committee, including KPIs, trends, risks, and forward-looking analysis
• Present consolidated performance results and business updates to executive leadership, with direct exposure to the CFO/CEO
• Deliver clear, concise, decision-oriented financial storytelling tailored to a Board and executive audience
• Serve as a trusted finance business partner to functional leaders, providing insight, challenge, and support on key initiatives
• Support investment decisions, pricing changes, hiring plans, and operational trade-offs through data-driven analysis, and help leaders reach principled trade-offs that protect long-term value, not just short-term optics
• Build cross-functional relationships that raise financial literacy and ownership across the organization
• Proactively identify structural risks and opportunities before they're visible to others, escalating with well-supported recommendations
• Own the monthly management reporting package: financial results, KPI dashboards, and executive commentary
• Own IFRS 15 revenue reporting, including the monthly CARR waterfall, ensuring accurate reconciliation between bookings, ARR, deferred revenue, recognized revenue, and other contractual movements that drive SaaS performance reporting
• Analyze performance drivers across revenue, cost structure, and margin, connecting financial results back to operational activity and long-term value drivers
• Own consistency between management reporting and statutory results across monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles
• Partner with Accounting on IFRS-related topics to ensure management reporting and Board materials reflect accounting reality
• Support preparation for Risk & Audit Committee discussions, providing forward-looking risk assessments and sensitivity analyses
• Own the accuracy and integrity of your reporting models and tools within NetSuite and related systems
• Identify structural inefficiencies or risks in your own workstreams that aren't yet visible to others, and flag or address them proactively
• Contribute ideas for automation and standardization within your area, in partnership with your manager
• Apply AI tools within your work-streams in line with team best practices for capability, scalability, and risk
• Use human-and-AI workflows (e.g., in variance analysis, board deck preparation, or performance reporting) to expand your own capacity and improve quality
• Share feedback on which AI tools and approaches work well, to inform how the function evolves its use of AI
• Take full ownership of your core deliverables and their downstream impact, escalating early when something is at risk
• When your work falls short, take responsibility, identify what happened, and apply the fix without needing to be asked

Benefits

• Fully paid health & dental (no waiting period)
• $500 health spending account
• Monthly reimbursement for fitness, wellness, or mental health programs
• Meaningful equity
• Flexibility in how and where work gets done
