Vice President, Finance

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.
