Across the 179 live financial analyst and FP&A analyst postings we track in the Greater Toronto area, 116 show a salary range in Canadian dollars, and the midpoint of those ranges lands at $77,000 for analyst titles and $95,000 for senior ones. That is a two-thirds disclosure rate in a profession where, honestly, I expected to be squinting at "competitive compensation" for most of the list, so if you've been job hunting in Toronto and feeling like nobody tells you what anything pays, the data says you can now answer that question for most roles before you even apply.
How many financial analyst jobs are there in Toronto right now?
As of October 2026 our database holds 179 live, de-duplicated financial analyst postings in the Greater Toronto area across 115 different employers, split into 98 analyst-level roles and 81 senior ones. The employer list is spread out, which I like, because no single company is propping up the count: Rogers has 8, University Health Network has 6, and after that it's a long tail of one-to-five-posting names like Spin Master, Brookfield Asset Management, Bimbo Canada, and Mejuri.
That spread tells you something useful about how to search. A market driven by three big banks rewards you for polishing one resume for one kind of employer, but a market with 115 employers across media, health care, consumer goods, asset management, and software rewards you for being able to tell a different story to each of them. We keep the live listings on the Audit Friendly job board, linked straight to the employer's own career page, because stale recruiter reposts are the bullshit that makes a search like this feel hopeless.
What does a financial analyst make in Toronto?
The posted analyst ranges in our data have a median low end of about $68,500 and a median high end of about $86,600, which puts the typical midpoint at $77,000. Senior analyst ranges run from a median of $83,300 up to $106,100, with a midpoint around $95,000. So the step from analyst to senior is worth roughly $18,000 at the midpoint, and I'd argue that's the cleanest number in this whole post, because it's the price of two or three years of getting good.
For an outside check I looked at the Government of Canada's Job Bank wage data for the Toronto economic region, which lists financial and investment analysts at a median of $41.60 an hour, with a first quartile of $34.34 and a third quartile of $52.31 (reference period 2023-2024, 2025 edition). Multiply the median by a standard 2,080-hour year and you get about $86,500, a bit above our analyst midpoint and a bit below our senior one. That makes sense to me, since Job Bank blends everyone from a junior at a credit union to a portfolio analyst at an asset manager, and it's a survey of what people earn rather than a snapshot of what employers are offering new hires today. You can browse the underlying tables on Job Bank. If you want the cross-border view, our piece on why US accounting jobs pay more than Canadian ones walks through the gap.
Which skills do Toronto financial analyst postings ask for?
Excel shows up in 153 of the 179 postings, which is 85%, and that shouldn't surprise anyone, so knowing pivot tables earns you a seat and nothing more. What separates postings is what comes after Excel: Power BI appears in 44, SAP in 33, SQL in 21, Workday in 19, Oracle in 16, and Hyperion and Tableau in 11 each. Anaplan and NetSuite barely register at 3 apiece, which surprised me given how much noise those two make on LinkedIn.
My read is that Power BI is the second skill to learn, and SQL is the third if you want to move toward the senior side of that $18,000 step. We went deeper on that tradeoff in do accountants need Power BI and SQL or Python for accountants, so I won't repeat the whole argument here.
Are Toronto financial analyst jobs remote or hybrid?
None of the 179 is fully remote, and 71 of them, about 40%, signal a hybrid arrangement. If you're hoping to work from your kitchen for a Toronto employer, the honest answer is that this particular role hasn't gotten there, though hybrid is common enough that a three-day office week is the thing to plan around. For the roles that do allow it, our remote accounting jobs page is the place to filter.
AI shows up in 27 of the 179 postings as some kind of signal, but only four name a specific tool: Microsoft Copilot twice, and Gemini and ChatGPT once each. Employers are clearly thinking about it and mostly haven't figured out what to ask you for yet, which is an opening if you've actually built something.
What I'd do
If I were hunting in Toronto tomorrow, I'd filter to postings with a posted range first, because you can negotiate against a number, and a shrug gives you nothing to push on, which is a damn frustrating way to haggle. Then I'd sort the shortlist by employer type, pick two industries where I could tell a real story, and build one small thing for each, say a Power BI variance dashboard on public financials from a company in that space, since that single artifact does more work than a paragraph in a cover letter. Relationships still matter here too (hell, they matter more than the portal ever will), and a message to someone already doing the job at a Toronto employer beats the application portal almost every time. If you're comparing across cities, the Ottawa financial analyst breakdown shows how different a government-heavy market looks next to this one.
