Senior Financial Analyst

Overview

Reporting jointly to the Manager, Financial Planning and Reporting and the Manager, Capital and Treasury, the Senior Financial Analyst is primarily focused on capital and treasury operations while supporting broader financial reporting across programs of the Toronto East Health Network.

The Senior Financial Analyst is a highly motivated self-starter who seeks to understand all aspects of current Hospital financial and statistical reporting. To be successful, the incumbent must be willing to invest the necessary time to understand related systems including SAP S/4HANA to inform financial system improvements and streamline processes.
