Our mission is simple: to change lives through travel. And not just our travelers’ either. Since day one, our tours have been built to establish meaningful relationships with local communities, directly benefiting the people and places we visit at every step of our tours.

With the demand for travel coming back strong, we are set up and excited for this next chapter in our company’s story — and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

Our DNA revolves around building, nurturing, and developing a diverse culture of people and a true sense of belonging, where everyone is encouraged to bring their authentic self to work each and every day. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your career, and yourself, alongside a passionate, talented, and welcoming community that works hard to spread goodness around the world.

If all that sounds like your kind of thing, well, we can’t wait for you to join us.

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Finance Manager to join our Toronto office. This role oversees the month-end close process, ensures the accuracy of financial results, and supports continuous improvements across the finance function. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams and play a key role in strengthening financial controls and delivering meaningful insights.

  • Review aging of balance sheet accounts to identify risk areas, unusual activity, and accounts requiring further investigation.
  • Review and sign off on balance sheet reconciliations; ensure standardized formats and consistent quality.
  • Perform P&L actual vs. forecast analysis and year-over-year variance analysis.
  • Present key monthly financial insights to the Corporate Controller and senior leadership.
  • Other Ad hoc duties

Process Improvement & Controls

  • Evaluate month-end processes and identify opportunities to streamline, automate, or improve accuracy.
  • Lead the development and implementation of a standardized balance sheet reconciliation format.
  • Strengthen internal controls and support compliance with company policies and accounting standards

  • Assist with interim and year-end external audits, including preparation of supporting schedules and responses to auditor requests.
  • Support accounting policy updates, documentation, and ad-hoc technical accounting matters.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with business units and FP&A to align on forecasts, actuals, key drivers, and business performance insights.
  • Collaborate with systems, operations, and other teams to improve financial data integrity and reporting capabilities.

People Leadership

  • Provide ongoing mentoring, training, and guidance to accountants and other finance team members.
  • Support onboarding, development, and continuous learning within the finance team.
  • Encourage a culture of curiosity, problem-solving, and proactive thinking across the team.
  • Offer clear feedback and help team members strengthen technical proficiency and analytical skills.
