Director, Financial Reporting & Analysis – Bilingual (English/French) Position Overview

We are hiring a Director of Financial Reporting & Analysis to own financial reporting, forecasting, and analysis for a growing software business with professional services operations and an international footprint. This role exists to scale financial insight delivery, improve reporting discipline, and materially reduce CFO execution load. You will play a central role in the Messagepoint operation and ensuring leadership, lenders, and the board receive reliable, decision‑ready financial information.

This is a hands‑on Director role. There are no direct reports. Success depends on execution, judgment and initiative—not delegation.

What Success Will Look Like

Within your first year, you will:

Fully integrate European operations into the consolidated model and establish an effective working relationship with team members

Own forecasting and reporting end‑to‑end, removing the CFO from day‑to‑day FP&A; execution

Deliver consistent, credible reporting and analysis that leadership and external stakeholders will trust

What You’ll Do

Own and continuously improve the integrated financial forecast (P&L;, cash flow, and balance sheet drivers)

Update forecasts for headcount, SaaS and services revenue, expenses, and working capital

Produce monthly internal financial reporting, analysis and commentary for leadership

Prepare external reporting for lenders and board materials

Develop and maintain executive dashboards and KPIs

Deliver variance analysis versus budget and prior year

Analyze SaaS and services performance, including ARR, project margins, and billable hours

Cash & Performance Insight

Own cash flow forecasting and analysis

Provide customer‑level performance insights (growth, contraction, stagnation)

International & Multi‑Entity Reporting

Act as primary finance liaison with our European operations

Map reporting into consolidated financials





Provide cross-border and multi-entity reporting requirements

Commercial and Revenue Support

Review deal economics for accuracy, profitability, and ROI

Validate license schedules against pricing tools and agreements

Push back on poor‑quality or value‑destructive deals using data

Support revenue recognition analysis under Canadian ASPE

Maintain deferred and accrued revenue forecasting

Partner with Sales Ops / RevOps (analysis and insight only; no operational ownership)

Audit Support

Prepare schedules and analysis for annual audits

Coordinate PBC requests and support audit execution

What this role does not do

This role does not own:

Contract negotiation or legal drafting

RevOps or Sales Ops

Core accounting, HR, IT, or systems administration

What we’re looking for

Experience

Multi‑entity and international reporting experience (required)

Robust FP&A; and management reporting background

Experience in professional services environments (POC revenue, billable hours, project margins)

Exposure to board and/or lender reporting preferred

SaaS experience preferred but not mandatory

Capabilities

Bilingual proficiency in English and French (spoken and written).

Strong Excel modeling and analytical judgment

Comfortable working with good—but not perfect—systems

Able to challenge assumptions and push back on deals with data

Execution‑focused operator, not a theorist

Personal attributes

Senior, hands‑on, and self‑directed

Takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks

Pragmatic, resilient, detail and deadline‑oriented

Low ego, high output

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to step into a true Director‑level role with meaningful ownership, visibility and impact—without layers of bureaucracy. If you are at your best when you are trusted to run the numbers, improve how things work, and deliver clarity to leadership, this role will suit you.
