Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth.
As one of Canada’s fastest growing companies and top-rated startups in 2025, 2024 and 2023, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Stripe, Shopify, Top Hat, Ada, Doordash, Snowflake, and Wealthsimple.
At Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success.
Float is Canada’s intelligent financial operating system, combining modern financial services and software to help businesses spend, save, and grow. Trusted by more than 10,000 Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts, and industry-leading support, all built in Canada, for Canada. Float recently announced our $85 million Series C, and is backed by world-class investors, including Inovia Capital, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, OMERS Ventures, and Silicon Valley Bank.
Our team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
