Location: London, Ontario

Work Model: Hybrid (3 days onsite preferred)

Term: 12-month contract

Start: Immediate

Compensation: $140,000–$170,000 per annum (Plus Benefits!)

Position Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced finance leader to step into a key accounting and finance leadership role on an interim basis (12 Month Contract). This individual will act as a trusted partner to the VP Finance and provide oversight across accounting operations, financial reporting, and core finance processes.

The successful candidate will lead a small team, maintain a disciplined close and reporting cycle, and support ongoing finance initiatives during a period of transition and change. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity suited to someone who brings strong controllership experience, a collaborative approach, and the ability to provide stability in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, and finance operations.
  • Lead monthly, quarterly, and year-end close activities to ensure accurate and timely reporting.
  • Maintain a strong internal control environment and support compliance with internal policies and external requirements.
  • Supervise, coach, and support accounting staff while helping drive team effectiveness and continuity.
  • Partner closely with the VP Finance on operational priorities, reporting needs, and key business initiatives.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for accounting, audit, tax, and regulatory matters.
  • Support finance transformation initiatives, including systems, processes, reporting and workflow improvements.
  • Help guide ongoing enhancements to reporting, controls, and finance operations.
  • Contribute to special projects related to process improvement, systems implementation, and organizational change.

Qualifications

  • CPA designation preferred; other relevant designations combined with significant leadership experience will also be considered.
  • 7+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, including leadership within controllership, accounting operations, or financial management.
  • Proven people leadership experience, with the ability to coach, mentor, and support team development.
  • Strong background in financial reporting, close management, internal controls, and process improvement.
  • Experience in a public company or similarly structured reporting environment is strongly preferred.
  • Exposure to finance transformation, ERP implementation, or other large-scale systems/process change is highly desirable.
  • Strong technical accounting foundation with knowledge of IFRS or GAAP; exposure to U.S. GAAP is an asset.
  • Effective communicator with the ability to build strong relationships across finance and the broader business.
  • Comfortable in a visible, hands-on leadership role with regular onsite presence.
