Job Description

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 Opportunity?

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. Apply today to start a conversation and learn more about the role and the company.
