Finance and Systems Analyst

Do you get a quiet thrill when two reports finally agree and you can show exactly where every number came from?

When a variance shows up, are you the person who keeps digging until it’s traced back to the original transaction?

Can you take a tangle of systems and spreadsheets and turn it into one version of the truth that people actually trust?

Do you enjoy explaining the numbers in plain language to people who’d rather not hear about the data model?

If that’s you, keep reading.

At Elmer's, we’ve been equipping farmers with innovative solutions for over 40 years. Owning and operating our own farm we understand what farmers need and want out of our products and our company. We strive to provide our customers with products that will effectively handle even the toughest environments. Harvest after harvest, our mission is to produce world-class farm equipment for the needs of the progressive farmer.

To meet the growing demand for our product we’re currently seeking a Finance and Systems Analyst to own the structure and integrity of our financial data, connecting our ERP, production software, and FP&A platform into one trusted source of truth.

You won’t just report the numbers. You’ll make them something the whole company can trust.

You’ll build and maintain a single, documented data model across our ERP, production software, and spreadsheets, and lead the implementation and ongoing administration of our FP&A platform, including budget, forecast, and cash flow models. You’ll find and fix ERP bottlenecks and visibility gaps, filling reporting shortfalls with custom queries and extracts, and trace standard cost, bill of materials, and other accounting variances back to their source transactions. Then you’ll turn it all into Power BI dashboards and streamlined Excel reporting that give management accurate, timely, usable information.

You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll report to the CFO and work with management and budget owners, in a small team where roles flex as the business changes.

You might be our person if…

• You understand accounting principles, including the general ledger, month-end close, inventory and cost of goods sold, journal entries, and financial statements

• You have working knowledge of data modeling and can reconcile data across sources and trace figures to their origin

• You’ve worked in financial analysis, accounting, FP&A, business intelligence, data analysis, or systems analysis

• You’re advanced in Excel and have built reports or dashboards in Power BI or a comparable tool

• You communicate clearly in writing and in person, and can explain technical topics to non-technical audiences

• You have post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

• Bonus: you know cost accounting, inventory accounting, or standard costing, have manufacturing experience, or hold (or are working toward) a CPA

• Bonus: you bring SQL, Power Query, and DAX, familiarity with APIs and data integration, or experience administering an ERP or FP&A/EPM platform

In addition to a competitive salary, benefits, and profit-sharing plan, we offer a dynamic, growing workplace that provides opportunities for all staff to have an impact.

Our facility is conveniently situated near Altona, MB - 36km east of Winkler, and only 100km south of Winnipeg.
