AI USE IN OUR HIRING PROCESS

We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Strategic Finance Manager on the Float Finance team, you'll report directly to the Head of Finance and own the analytical engine behind our financial planning, reporting, and decision-making.

This is a high-exposure role, you'll partner closely with the exec team and have direct visibility into the business decisions that shape Float's trajectory. It's an opportunity to build something meaningful at one of Canada's fastest growing companies, at a stage where the work you do genuinely moves the needle.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

- Business Partnering: Build working relationships with GTM, Product, and People teams. Understand the key drivers of their work and translate financial data into recommendations they can act on

- Financial Reporting and Analysis: Own the production of accurate, timely financial results. Build variance analyses and surface insights on business performance, identifying where we're on track and where we need to course correct

- Forecasting and Modelling: Maintain and continuously improve Float's core financial models, rolling forecasts, and quarterly budget setting

- Strategic Finance Analysis: Support capital allocation decisions, unit economics tracking (CAC, LTV, payback periods, gross margin), and investment case analysis. Help translate financial data into clear recommendations on where Float should and shouldn't be placing its bets

- Ad Hoc Executive Analysis: Respond to analytical requests from the CEO and exec team with speed and quality. This could be anything from unit economics deep-dives to investment case analysis to quick turnaround data pulls

YOU’LL BE GREAT IN THIS ROLE IF...

- You have 3-5 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, or strategic finance at a high-growth tech or fintech company.

- Ideally with a bachelor’s degree (though that’s not required) in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. CPA, MBA or advanced degree preferred.

- You're a strong cross-functional partner. You're comfortable working alongside GTM, Product, and other business teams to support decision-making, structure ambiguous problems, and help ship initiatives from zero to one.

- Advanced financial modeling and analytical skills, with a deep understanding of financial statements, key metrics, and forecasting techniques specific to the technology industry.

- You have a strong grasp of SaaS and fintech metrics: CAC, LTV, payback periods, gross margin, and sales efficiency.

- You can synthesize complex analysis into clear, concise takeaways for non-finance stakeholders

- You're a self-starter who takes ownership and drives work to completion with minimal hand-holding

- You love start-ups. You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment and can adapt quickly to changing priorities and business needs.

- You’re an “Owner”. You’re driven, self-motivated, proactive, and take full ownership of projects and drive them to successful completion

- You’re market savvy. You have a passion for technology and the startup ecosystem, with a deep understanding of industry trends and market dynamics

OUR HIRING PHILOSOPHY

We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and every hire is expected to raise the bar for Float as a whole.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN

- Be part of an award winning company: we're one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies 2026 according to Report on Business, and Deloitte’s Technology Fast50 2026

- Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role

- Collaborate with an ambitious and supportive team

- Competitive compensation, equity options, and benefits

- Hybrid work model – we are based in Toronto with in-office days for connection and collaboration

- Enjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
