Finance Manager - Gibbons Whistler, BC

Who We Are

At Gibbons Whistler, we’re all about Making People Happy. Since 1979, we have been the backbone of Whistler hospitality bringing people together through unforgettable experiences.

Everything we do is rooted in our core values: Encourage Trust, Have Fun, Show Kindness, Lead With Purpose, and Commit to Excellence.

The Opportunity

Take the lead on day-to-day month-end close and reporting, working alongside our Senior Manager of Finance. You’ll help the team deliver accurate, timely financials and translate venue results into clear insights business leaders can act on. This role suits someone ready for more ownership who still enjoys getting into the detail.

We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Leader who brings both strong technical expertise and practical, solutions-focused thinking. This role is more than reporting numbers, you’ll be a key partner to our operational teams and senior leadership, helping translate financial data into clear, actionable insights that drive better business decisions.

You’ll thrive here if you’re someone who takes ownership, moves quickly, and isn’t afraid to dig in when things aren’t immediately clear. You balance attention to detail with a bias for action, and you’re always looking for ways to simplify, improve, and elevate how things are done.

This is an opportunity to shape financial processes, influence decision-making, and build a high-performing, service-oriented finance function within a dynamic, multi-entity environment.
