Vice President, Finance We’re looking for a senior finance leader who is ready to take ownership of the finance function today and grow into a Chief Financial Officer role over time. This is not a role where you'll simply oversee reports from a distance. You'll be hands-on with the business, leading the finance function across two companies, strengthening processes, partnering directly with ownership, and helping shape the company’s growth strategy.
What You'll Do - Own and elevate finance processes across both companies - Lead a reliable, accurate, and timely month-end and year-end close - Deliver consolidated financial reporting across multiple entities and divisions - Build and manage cash-flow forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis - Strengthen financial controls across AP approvals, expenses, AR, and collections - Own intercompany accounting and consolidations - Develop accurate inventory reporting across 3PL partners - Manage U.S. and Canadian tax, remittances, and cross-border payroll - Lead the annual engagement review and manage external accountants, auditors, and advisors - Act as the primary banking liaison across Canada and the U.S.
- Lead, coach, and develop the finance team while establishing strong processes and accountability - Implement HR policies and oversee hiring, onboarding, and key people processes - Partner closely with ownership on strategy, growth initiatives, and overall business performance - Continue optimizing and improving the company’s Odoo ERP What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who combines strong technical finance expertise with leadership, business judgment, and a hands-on mindset. You’ll ideally bring:
- CPA designation or equivalent,
with significant senior‑level finance experience - Experience leading a finance function and developing a high-performing team - Strong month-end close and financial reporting experience; multi-entity experience is an asset - Experience with intercompany accounting, consolidations, cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting - Experience managing external accountants, auditors, advisors, or annual engagement reviews - Experience managing banking relationships and acting as a key liaison with lenders - ERP implementation, optimization, or consolidation experience; Odoo experience is an asset - U.S. and Canadian cross-border finance experience is a strong advantage - Experience implementing HR policies and supporting hiring and people processes - A strategic mindset with the ability to connect financial performance to business growth - A hands-on, accountable leadership style, someone who can roll up their sleeves when needed - Strong communication skills and the ability to remain composed and solutions-oriented under pressure - Most importantly, the ambition to grow into a CFO role Why This Chance? This is an opportunity for a finance leader who wants more than a title. You'll have direct visibility with ownership, meaningful influence on the business, and the opportunity to build and improve the finance function rather than simply maintain it. You’ll have the chance to:
- Take ownership of a growing finance function - Work directly with ownership on business strategy and performance - Make meaningful improvements to processes, systems, and controls - Lead and develop a finance team - Gain broader exposure across finance, operations, people, and strategy - Build the experience and influence needed to step into the CFO seat Is this the right next step for you? If you're a senior finance professional who wants to be closer to the business, closer to decision-making, and on a genuine path toward CFO, this could be an exciting opportunity to make your mark.
