Would you like to act as a mini-CFO for a portfolio of high-growth software businesses, with a clear path to the top that isn't blocked by anyone else's timeline?

We are recruiting on behalf of a leading Canadian technology and software group, a agile portfolio company within a well-established, publicly traded parent. With a large number of independently managed software companies, the group offers a unique environment focused on long-term growth, strategic acquisitions, and operational excellence.

This is a highly visible, portfolio-facing role for a candidate who wants to sit alongside a Portfolio CEO and CTO as part of a small executive team, rather than simply report numbers up the chain.

Key responsibilities and oversight:

- Act as the primary finance partner for a defined subset of the group's operating businesses ($20m–$30m net revenue), providing financial insights and challenging assumptions alongside executive leadership.
- Lead financial reporting and management reporting across the portfolio.
- Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning processes.
- Manage acquisition accounting and purchase price allocation (PPA) processes in support of ongoing M& A activity.
- Support operational efficiency initiatives, including process improvements and analysis.
- Lead a team of 5–6 finance professionals, including a high-performing offshore team.




- Ensure compliance with IFRS standards and assist in revenue recognition, acquisition accounting, and related technical accounting areas.
- Help shape the integration of AI agents into finance processes as part of a broader push through 2026.

The company is offering a strong compensation package including an attractive base salary, and annual performance bonus. Full remuneration details to be disclosed to all candidates under consideration.

The successful candidate will possess the following:

- CPA designation with public accounting experience, ideally within financial reporting, statement preparation, and management reporting.
- Proven experience working with IFRS, revenue recognition, acquisition accounting, and M& A integration.
- Strong leadership skills with experience managing cross-functional or distributed teams.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to interact effectively with executive leadership.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in a quick-paced, dynamic environment supporting strategic growth initiatives.
- Experience working with publicly traded companies is preferred but not mandatory.
- An interest in modern finance tooling, including AI-driven process improvement.

This opportunity is an existing vacancy with an employer who has engaged our recruiting services.
