Job Description:

Finance Manager: DBTS – Consolidation

The Finance Manager – FP&A Consolidations will be responsible for consolidating DBTS (Digital Business and Technology Solutions) financials (Actuals, Forecast, Budget, and Strategic Plans), actively managing the expense and P&L positions for each DBTS area and product/services, along with performing ad-hoc analysis based on various leadership requests. The position requires strong financial modeling, presentation, and communication skills. This is a highly visible role with senior leadership within DBTS.

What will you do?

In partnership with DBTS Finance leadership team, lead the budgeting and forecasting cycles with emphasis on the following:

• Establishing and managing timelines
• Setting rules for pre-population of budget and forecast data
• Managing the multi-dimensional allocations (taking expenses from cost centers to product view for full recovery)
• Establishing annual product rates for internal chargebacks
• Consolidate the chargeback statements to all Sun Life entities
• Consolidate the expenses and P&L views for executive consumption including preparation of presentation slides and exhibits (i.e. “tell the story”)
• Consolidate the monthly results (expenses and P&L view) and variance explanations
• Work with individual Finance Managers to prepare the variance commentary and consolidate for executive consumption (i.e. tell the story and the “so-what”)
• Work with DBTS Finance leadership to provide guidance for “year-to-go” (i.e. “now-what”)
• Actively manage the expenses and P&L positions across all areas within DBTS
• This entails working collaboratively with Finance Managers, Directors and AVP to manage expense over/under spend across areas while balancing the requirement to remaining flat to Budget overall
• Working with Finance Managers to present the “year-to-go” forecast by factoring in timing of spend and identifying permanent (un)favorability
• Managing the annual credits issued to business partners
• Lead the annual SRED tax credit process
• Perform ad-hoc analysis upon request
• Given the nature of the role, a large part of the role is also managing ad-hoc analysis requests coming from senior leadership (including IT and Finance leadership) with a short response time window

Breakdown of the Role:

• Consolidations (running the consolidation rules and updating presentation materials) – 25%
• Actively managing the expenses and P&L positions – 40%
• Ad-hoc analysis/requests – 35%

What you will need to succeed?

• Proven track record of managing consolidation activities with large organizations including analysis and recommendations
• Proven track record of managing multiple (and often conflicting) timelines
• Extensive experience in financial modeling and presentation skills including preparation of slides and exhibits
• Accounting designation along with 5-7 years of progressive financial management & analysis experience
• Ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges
• Experience in working in large, complex organizations

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary and bonus structure influenced by market range data
• Pension, stock and savings programs to help build and enhance your future financial security
• A common sense dress code, where you dictate how you dress based on your day
• An environment of continuous learning and improvement
• The opportunity to move along a variety of career paths with amazing networking potential.
