Financial Analyst - CapEx

Have you ever desired to work at a company that is positively impacting the lives of a wide array of individuals through various avenues? At Green Alpha Property Management (part of ECA), everything that we do is centered around the goal of improving the lives of each of our stakeholders.

ECA is seeking a Financial Analyst to own capital expenditure (CapEx) tracking, analysis and bank draw processes, while leading the use of AI to modernize how our finance team works. You will manage the full CapEx draw cycle with our lenders, deliver clear analysis of capital spending against budget, and support core financial analysis and reporting.

This role is built for someone who sees a manual spreadsheet process and immediately thinks about how to automate it. Hands-on AI experience is required: you will identify repetitive, manual finance workflows and redesign them with AI tools to improve speed, accuracy and visibility.

AI-driven process improvement
