Senior Financial Analyst – Canadian Tire – Toronto, Ontario

Canadian Tire’s Finance team is on the lookout for a Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A to join their ranks in Toronto, Ontario. This is a hybrid role — four days in-office — sitting within the IT Financial Planning & Analysis function and reporting directly to the Manager, IT FP&A. If you’re the kind of analyst who thrives at the intersection of finance and technology, this could be a strong fit.

Day to day, you’ll be a trusted financial partner to the Technology team and cross-functional stakeholders across the organization. The role involves a lot more than running numbers — it’s about translating complex data into clear, forward-looking insights that help senior decision makers act with confidence. You’ll be building and maintaining financial models, preparing budgets and forecasts, and driving process improvements that make the whole team more efficient.

About the Role: Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A

At the core of this position is financial planning and analysis in support of Canadian Tire’s IT portfolio. You’ll be preparing accurate budgets, running variance analyses, and developing a deep understanding of the key drivers behind financial performance. The goal is to arm leadership with the kind of timely, actionable information they need to hit financial targets and manage risk proactively.

This role also has a strong process improvement dimension. You’ll be expected to streamline reporting workflows, increase automation, and collaborate cross-functionally to lift the overall effectiveness of financial planning. Strong stakeholder communication and a continuous improvement mindset are just as important here as technical financial skills.

Benefits and Salary

Canadian Tire offers a broadband salary range of $64,000 to $106,000, with a typical hiring range between $64,000 and $90,000 depending on experience, internal equity, and market conditions. Beyond base pay, the company provides comprehensive benefits and retirement programs, performance incentives, continuing education programs, career growth opportunities, and product discounts. Employees also benefit from mental health coverage of $5,000 per year, Canadian Tire Profit Sharing, and additional perks to support overall well-being.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be deeply involved in both the routine cadence of financial planning and reporting and the longer-term work of building better tools and processes. The position requires someone who can balance the detail-oriented demands of budgeting and forecasting with a broader, strategic view of how finance can support the business.

• Partner with the Technology team, the broader Finance function, and cross-functional stakeholders to support informed decision making as a trusted business partner
• Prepare accurate and timely budgets and forecasts, monitor results against targets, and provide detailed variance analysis
• Develop a strong understanding of major financial performance drivers and support action plans to achieve financial goals and mitigate risks
• Deliver meaningful, actionable insights that serve both financial and non-financial stakeholder groups
• Build and maintain financial models, reporting tools, and analysis to improve visibility and decision support across the IT portfolio
• Streamline reporting processes, increase automation, and partner cross-functionally to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of financial planning and reporting

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in financial analysis and modelling, paired with the communication skills to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams. Canadian Tire is looking for someone who is both analytically rigorous and genuinely curious about driving better outcomes through process improvement and smart use of data tools.

• University degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
• Professional designation such as CPA or CFA, or a post-graduate degree (e.g., MBA) is considered an asset
• 3 to 5 years of progressive experience in finance, including reporting, forecasting, and financial modelling
• Strong Excel skills; experience with PowerQuery, Power BI, or Co-pilot is a strong asset
• Comfortable with large data sets and translating complex information into clear, practical insights
• Results-oriented with strong critical thinking skills and the ability to assess business problems holistically
