THE ROLE:

Our Edmonton based client is searching for an experienced Financial Planning & Analysis (FP& A) Consultant to support core forecasting and cost optimization initiatives. This role is ideal for a hands-on finance professional who can partner with business leaders to improve cost visibility, forecasting accuracy, and identify sustainable savings opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead cost centre forecasting activities, including baseline, reforecasts, and variance analysis
• Partner with budget owners to understand cost drivers and challenge assumptions
• Perform savings and cost-reduction analysis, identifying opportunities and tracking realized benefits
• Develop clear financial models and management-ready insights to support decision-making
• Support monthly and quarterly forecasting cycles, including scenario and sensitivity analysis
• Improve forecasting processes, templates, and reporting where needed

ABOUT YOU:

You are a commercially minded FP& A professional with strong business acumen and a solid understanding of how costs flow through an organization. You communicate financial insights clearly to non‑finance stakeholders, work comfortably with ambiguity, and enjoy partnering with leaders to improve forecasting accuracy. You bring a proactive, independent mindset and aren’t afraid to dig into large, contract‑driven cost centres to understand what’s really driving results.

WHAT'S ON OFFER?

A competitive wage is offered, aligned with experience and impact. This contract opportunity provides exposure to enterprise‑level FP& A work, close partnership with budget owners, and meaningful involvement in cost optimization initiatives. It’s an excellent fit for an experienced consultant looking to apply strong analytical and business‑partnering skills in a fast‑paced environment. If you value working with a respected, innovative team and want an exceptional opportunity to contribute your expertise, we encourage you to apply! Submit your details online today to take the next step in your career.

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Proven experience in FP& A, forecasting, and variance analysis (consulting or contract experience preferred)
• Strong background in cost centre management, forecasting, and expense forecasting
• Advanced Excel skills (financial modeling, forecasting templates, data analysis)
• Ability to communicate financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders
• Ability to work independently and thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced changing environment, demonstrating adaptability and resilience
• Professional designation preferred but not required
