- Manage and optimize financial incentive programs to drive performance within Sales and Marketing teams
- Conduct variance analysis (actual vs. budget) and deliver insights on business performance
- Support the maintenance of financial models for forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning
- Enable strategic decision-making by supporting financial analysis and scenario planning
- Contribute to a variety of projects, including strategic financial support, contract management, cost analysis for potential savings, and financial data analysis to support “big bet” initiatives
Who You Are:

- You have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

- You excel in verbal and written communication, effectively conveying complex information with clarity
- You have a keen eye for detail and take pride in delivering error-free, concise, and accurate work
- You’re analytical and make decisions based on timely and accurate analysis
- You have a team player mindset – our team is small and mighty, and we collaborate constantly
- You’re a self-starter with a growth mindset and thrive in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
Bonus Points:
- You have prior experience in B2B SaaS, fintech or a neobank
- You have experience or working knowledge with accounting tools (e.g. Xero, Dext, Expensify, etc.)
Research shows that women-identifying and other marginalized individuals tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications; if you don't have all the listed qualifications, we encourage you to apply anyway!
Our Commitment To You:
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity: Relay employees are Relay owners, complete with equity and a competitive salary.
- Comprehensive health benefits: enjoy full health benefits from day one. We offer flexible Health or Wellness Spending Accounts and medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
- Flexible vacation and time off: every team member starts with 15 vacation days and 5 flex days to use as needed, plus an extra week of office closure during the end-of-year holidays so you can take time off to recharge and come back better for our customers.
- Parental leave with top-up: we offer 12 weeks off with a 100% salary top-up for all full-time employees, regardless of location, and accessible for all parents: birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive.
- Hybrid work environment: we value meaningful collaboration and connection at our Toronto office twice a week, with lunch, snacks, and beverages on us.
- Dog-friendly space: can dogs really make you happy and healthy? We don’t know for sure, but since we don’t want to chance it, our office is 100% floof-friendly.
- Personal and professional growth: through ongoing feedback, mentorship, and coaching, work with peers and leaders who are invested in your growth and success.
- Top-tier equipment: as a Mac-first company, our Toronto offices have everything you need to produce your best work comfortably, from multiple screens to ergonomic seating.
- Social connection: we believe in celebrating our wins with two annual company-wide get-togethers, quarterly team events, happy hours, and special events and networking opportunities with industry leaders.
We’re driving real change for small business owners, powered by truly remarkable people. At Relay, you’ll find the confidence to take changes, trust to take initiative, and the support you need to build a career you love. Here, we make sure every team member feels empowered to make big decisions, encourage to ask tough questions, and challenged to take risks that result in work we’re all proud of. We give you the baton–you run the Relay.
