Financial Analyst - Commercial FP&A

You belong at Day & Ross. 

Commercial Finance Analyst – FP&A
Full-time
New Brunswick

Day & Ross is one of Canada’s largest transportation networks, and our Commercial Finance team sits at the intersection of revenue strategy and financial rigour. As a Commercial Finance Analyst, you will serve as the financial partner to our sales organisation — translating pipeline activity, customer wins and losses, and rep-level performance into actionable insight for senior leadership.

Reporting to the VP/Director of Finance, this role is well-suited to an analytically sharp finance professional with a genuine interest in commercial dynamics and the freight industry.

How You’ll Help

• Build and maintain monthly sales forecast models, incorporating bottom-up input from regional sales teams and reconciling to top-down targets

• Develop rolling forecasts that reflect changing pipeline health, seasonality, and market conditions

• Perform variance analysis between actuals, forecast, and budget, clearly communicating drivers to Finance and Commercial leadership

• Support the annual commercial budgeting cycle, translating revenue targets into rep-, territory-, and customer-level quotas

• Partner with Sales leadership to stress-test assumptions and ensure alignment between sales capacity and financial plans

• Maintain documentation of target-setting methodology and key assumptions

• Produce recurring financial reports tracking revenue performance at the sales rep level, including wins, losses, and net revenue movements

• Develop and maintain the Annualised New Business Run Rate (ANBRR) metric — tracking new logo acquisition, account expansions, and churn — as a leading indicator of revenue health

• Support revenue integrity reviews, identifying billing discrepancies, rate mismatches, and undercharged shipments that erode recognised revenue

• Monitor accessorial capture rates across the network, partnering with Operations and Pricing to ensure accessorial charges are consistently applied, billed, and recovered

• Build and automate dashboards in Power BI to support self-serve reporting across Commercial and Finance stakeholders

• Model the financial impact of sales incentive and commission structures, supporting plan design, scenario testing, and periodic true-ups

• Prepare monthly incentive accruals in collaboration with HR/Payroll, ensuring accuracy and consistency with plan mechanics

• Analyse incentive plan effectiveness relative to revenue outcomes and flag anomalies or unintended consequences

• Conduct customer-level and lane-level profitability analyses, integrating revenue, cost-to-serve, and pricing data

• Partner with Pricing and Operations to identify accounts where margin improvement or repricing action is warranted

• Support pre-sale and post-sale profitability reviews for key accounts and RFP opportunities

• Act as a financial resource for the sales organisation, supporting ad hoc analyses, business cases, and commercial presentations

• Partner closely with the Pricing team on rate card reviews, margin floor analysis, and the financial evaluation of pricing exceptions and discount requests

• Maintain data integrity across Salesforce CRM and financial systems, flagging discrepancies and driving process improvements

• Collaborate with IT/BI teams to enhance data pipelines and reporting infrastructure

Your Skills & Experience: 

• 3–6 years of experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or business analytics

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (financial modelling, pivot tables, Power Query)

• Experience with Power BI or a comparable business intelligence platform

• Familiarity with Salesforce or another CRM as a data source for revenue analytics

• Strong grasp of P&L mechanics and revenue forecasting concepts

• Demonstrated ability to communicate financial analysis clearly to non-finance stakeholders

• Post-secondary education in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field

• Experience in transportation, logistics, or another asset-intensive industry

• Exposure to TMS platforms or freight-specific operational data

• Working knowledge of sales incentive plan structures and commission accounting

• CPA designation in progress or completed
