Senior Financial Systems Analyst

Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, owner of the Calgary Flames, is hiring a Senior Financial Systems Analyst for its finance team in Calgary. The analyst reports to the Vice-President, Finance, and is the senior person looking after the company's accounting and reporting software.

The main systems are Microsoft Dynamics GP or Dynamics 365 Business Central and Solver. The analyst keeps them configured and running: the chart of accounts, dimensions, security roles, workflows, and integrations, plus testing and rolling out upgrades and patches. In Solver the work covers financial reports, budget models, forecasting, and reporting trees.

A large part of the job is data. The analyst builds and checks the feeds between the finance systems and other company applications, fixes failed interfaces and reconciliation gaps, and writes queries, reports, and dashboards in Solver, Excel, Power BI, and SQL. The analyst also looks for manual steps in month-end close, budgeting, payables, and receivables that a system could take over.

Controls are part of the role too: user access reviews, segregation of duties, change procedures, and support for internal and external audits. The analyst trains finance staff, writes the user guides, and works with IT and outside software vendors. The posting says it stays open until the right person is found and does not list pay.
