Financial Analyst

About the role

Lane Partners is a private real estate investment and development firm concentrating on institutional-quality missing-middle rental housing throughout the Greater Toronto Area. The company’s portfolio includes about ten active development sites, along with an expanding pipeline of CMHC-financed multi-family assets that are arranged through partner-level co-investment vehicles. Its team handles the full asset lifecycle internally, covering acquisitions, development, financing, and asset management.

The firm is looking for a Financial Analyst to work closely with the managing partners on underwriting, financing execution, and portfolio-wide financial analysis. This position provides direct involvement in capital deployment decisions and substantial ownership across the platform.

Core responsibilities

• Evaluate new acquisitions by building development pro formas, running sensitivity analyses, and assessing target returns such as IRR and equity multiples.
• Coordinate CMHC MLI Select and MLI Standard financing submissions, including lender packages and support during diligence.
• Monitor construction draws, lender advances, and cost-to-complete updates.
• Draft quarterly investor updates, capital call schedules, and distribution calculations.
• Build and maintain financial models for equity waterfalls, refinance takeouts, and sale/disposition cases.
• Assist with portfolio-level financial reporting, including job-cost accounting in Yardi Voyager, work-in-progress tracking, and intercompany reconciliations.
• Help assess capital structure choices across the platform, including mezzanine debt and preferred equity options.

Experience and qualifications

The ideal candidate brings 2–5 years of experience in real estate private equity, real estate-focused investment banking, REIT investing, or Big 4 real estate transaction advisory.

Strong independent financial modeling ability is essential, particularly the capacity to create development pro formas and equity waterfall models from scratch.

A working understanding of CMHC multi-family financing programs is preferred, though the ability to quickly build that expertise is also suitable.

Experience with Yardi Voyager or Argus would be beneficial.

CPA, CFA, or MBA credentials, whether completed or still in progress, are welcome but not mandatory.

The role also calls for a clear communicator who is comfortable dealing directly with the managing partners.

What the role offers

• Direct involvement in transaction structuring and capital allocation decisions across an active portfolio.
• Hands-on responsibility from day one while working alongside the managing partners.
• Exposure to development, finance, and asset management functions across the business.
• Competitive pay with performance-linked elements tied to platform results.
• Opportunity to grow within an expanding firm with a clear path for advancement.
