Remote virtual Chief Financial Officer (vCFO)

Ottawa Riverkeeper

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS 

Virtual Chief Financial Officer Services

Proposal Submission Deadline

While we encourage applications by Wednesday, July 22, 2026 , we will begin reviewing applications as they are received and may interview and select a candidate before the closing date. Early applications are encouraged. 

Anticipated Start Date

September 2026 or earlier 

About Ottawa Riverkeeper

Ottawa Riverkeeper was founded in 2001 and became a registered charity in 2003. Our mission is focused on the protecting and promoting the ecological health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries. Learn more about us on  our website . 

What We’re Looking For

Ottawa Riverkeeper invites qualified individuals and firms to submit proposals for the role of virtual Chief Financial Officer (vCFO) services on a part-time basis.

The successful candidate will provide strategic financial leadership, oversight, analysis, and compliance support to Ottawa Riverkeeper's management team and Board of Directors. This engagement is intended to complement—not replace—our existing bookkeeping and audit services by providing senior-level financial expertise, strategic guidance, independent oversight and financial leadership equivalent to that of an experienced Chief Financial Officer.

The selected vCFO will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and work closely with the Managing Director, Treasurer, Finance Committee, and Board of Directors to strengthen financial planning, reporting, controls, and organizational decision-making. 

Scope of Services

The vCFO will provide outsourced financial management leadership and support on a part-time basis to ensure the ongoing financial sustainability of Ottawa Riverkeeper. This includes reliable, accurate financial reporting that is audit-ready and compliant with legal and audit requirements.

Ottawa Riverkeeper anticipates that the engagement will require approximately 10-15 hours per month with fluctuations depending on the month. This role can largely be fulfilled remotely but it is preferable that they be based in the Ottawa/Gatineau region so that they can attend occasional meetings in person. 

Qualifications


  • CPA designation or equivalent professional qualification;

  • Experience providing contract services preferred;

  • Experience at a Director or CFO level working with a Canadian not-for-profit organization also desirable;

  • Strong understanding of financial governance and Board reporting;

  • Experience with QuickBooks Online desirable;

  • Strong analytical and communication skills.

Proposal Requirements

We look forward to reviewing proposals from interested parties and ask that proposals include details on your qualifications, experience, fees and interest in this role.

Questions and Proposal Submissions 

All inquiries should be directed to our Managing Director, Dave Rayner
( View email address on ca.talent.com ). Proposals should be submitted through BambooHR .

À propos d’Ottawa Riverkeeper

Ottawa Riverkeeper a été fondé en 2001 et est devenu un organisme de bienfaisance enregistré en 2003. Notre mission consiste à protéger et à promouvoir la santé écologique de la rivière des Outaouais et de ses affluents. Pour en savoir plus sur notre organisation, consultez
notre site web .

Ce que nous recherchons

Ottawa Riverkeeper invite les personnes et les cabinets qualifiés à soumettre des propositions pour le poste de directeur financier virtuel (vCFO) à temps partiel.

Le candidat retenu assurera le leadership financier stratégique, la supervision, l’analyse et le soutien en matière de conformité auprès de l’équipe de direction et du conseil d’administration d’Ottawa Riverkeeper. Cette mission vise à compléter — et non à remplacer — nos services actuels de comptabilité et d’audit en apportant une expertise financière de haut niveau, des conseils stratégiques, une supervision indépendante et un leadership financier équivalents à ceux d’un directeur financier expérimenté.

Le vCFO sélectionné rendra compte directement au directeur général et travaillera en étroite collaboration avec le directeur exécutif, le trésorier, le comité des finances et le conseil d’administration afin de renforcer la planification financière, le reporting, les contrôles et la prise de décision au sein de l’organisation.

Portée des services

Le vCFO assurera, à temps partiel, un leadership et un soutien en matière de gestion financière externalisés afin de garantir la viabilité financière à long terme d’Ottawa Riverkeeper. Cela inclut la production de rapports financiers fiables et précis, prêts à être audités et conformes aux exigences légales et d’audit.

Ottawa Riverkeeper prévoit que cette mission nécessitera environ 10 à 15 heures par mois, avec des variations selon les mois. Ce poste peut être occupé en grande partie à distance, mais il est préférable que le candidat soit basé dans la région d'Ottawa/Gatineau afin de pouvoir assister à certaines réunions en présentiel.

Qualifications


  • Titre de CPA ou qualification professionnelle équivalente;

  • Expérience dans la prestation de services sous contrat souhaitée;

  • Expérience à un poste de directeur ou de directeur financier au sein d’une organisation à but non lucratif canadienne également souhaitée;

  • Solide compréhension de la gouvernance financière et des rapports au conseil d’administration;

  • Expérience avec QuickBooks Online souhaitée;

  • Solides compétences analytiques et de communication.

Exigences relatives aux propositions

Nous attendons avec intérêt les propositions des parties intéressées et vous demandons d’y inclure des détails sur vos qualifications, votre expérience, vos honoraires et votre motivation pour ce poste.

Questions et soumission des propositions

Toutes les demandes de renseignements doivent être adressées à notre directeur général, Dave Rayner ( View email address on ca.talent.com ). Les propositions doivent être téléchargées via notre site web à l’adresse BambooHR .
