Finance Manager

The Role We're hiring a Finance Manager to be the financial backbone of Viggle's Toronto office and a trusted partner to leadership. We're looking for someone who is sharp, analytical, and detail-oriented — someone who can own day-to-day finance and accounting operations, drive month-end processes, support budgeting and reporting, and step into administrative and cross-functional projects when needed. You'll play a central role in how Viggle manages its finances and will work directly with leadership and external advisors. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, care deeply about accuracy, and want to be close to the action at a company building something that matters, this is the role. Responsibilities Finance & Accounting Operations - Own day-to-day finance operations, including expense management, invoice processing, vendor payments, payroll coordination, and budget tracking. - Manage bookkeeping and accounting processes in QuickBooks Online (QBO), including multi-currency transactions, and work closely with external accountants and tax advisors. - Lead month-end close activities and maintain accurate, audit-ready financial records. - Support financial reporting, cash flow monitoring, and budget vs. actual analysis for leadership. - Assist with banking relationships, corporate cards, and treasury-related administration. - Continuously identify opportunities to improve internal financial processes and controls. Government Funding & Programs - Lead the preparation and coordination of SR&ED tax credit claims, including project documentation, cost tracking, and information gathering, working with external advisors as needed. - Identify, apply for, and manage Canadian government funding programs and grants (e.g., NRC IRAP, provincial and federal innovation incentives). Serve as the point of contact for government agencies and program officers; manage reporting, compliance, and claim submissions for active programs. - Support government partnership and collaboration projects, including proposal preparation, budget development, and post-award administration. Executive & Cross-Functional Support - Prepare financial materials, briefings, and analysis ahead of key meetings and decisions. - Own follow-through on finance-related action items — track what was decided, what's due, and what's slipping. - Handle sensitive financial information and communications with discretion and sound judgment. Administrative Support Provide light administrative and office support as needed to keep the Toronto office running smoothly, including vendor coordination and record-keeping. Who You Are Required Experience - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Business Administration, or a related field. - 3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or a related operational finance role within a fast-paced company. - Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online (QBO) or other cloud-based accounting systems. - Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball. - Strong analytical skills — comfortable working with data, metrics, and financial models. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills — clear, concise, and professional. Strong Signals - CPA designation (or in progress) is an asset. - Previous experience at a startup, technology company, or other high-growth environment. - Hands-on experience with Canadian government funding programs, including SR&ED claims, NRC IRAP, or other federal/provincial grants; experience working directly with government agencies or program officers is a strong asset. - Experience with multi-entity or cross-border accounting (CAD/USD). - Experience building or improving internal financial processes rather than simply maintaining them. - Proficiency with tools such as Excel/Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace. - Experience working directly with senior executives or founders.
