Perform monthly and quarterly financial reports & analysis including variance to budget analysis — revenue, expenses, NOI, and key financial drivers — delivering clear, actionable commentary to senior stakeholders.

Support the monthly and quarterly close processes, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting across the portfolio.

Develop, maintain, and continuously enhance financial models, rolling forecasts, and long-range plans across the Canadian multi-family portfolio.

Streamline and automate reporting workflows, reducing manual effort and improving the speed and reliability of financial outputs.

Partner with data and technology teams to build scalable, forward-looking analytical infrastructure that keeps Starlight ahead of the curve.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA or CFA designation (or active pursuit) is a plus.

1 – 3 years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, or investment analytics — real estate or asset management experience is a strong advantage.

Elite Excel skills: you build models from scratch, stress-test assumptions, and automate workflows without being asked.

Solid grasp of real estate and investment finance concepts — NOI, IRR, cap rates, DCF, leverage, asset-level vs. portfolio-level performance.

Experience with Power BI or similar BI tools; comfort working with large datasets and imperfect data.

Genuinely excited about AI and automation — you’ve already started experimenting and can’t stop thinking about what’s possible.

Clear, confident communicator who can present financial insights to senior stakeholders and investment professionals with conviction.

High-energy, detail-obsessed, and motivated by the fast pace of a growing investment platform. You bring a builder’s mindset and aren’t afraid of extra innings when the work matters.
