We9re looking for a steady, strategic, and commercially minded CFO to partner with the President and Executive Team on the decisions and execution that shape our future.
About the role
Reporting directly to the President, you9ll lead JPC9s Finance, Credit and Risk function and serve as a trusted partner to the Executive Team. Two leaders report to you, a Finance Manager and a Credit Manager, along with their teams.
This is not a back-office finance role. As a lender and fleet manager, how we fund, price and manage risk is how we compete, and you9ll own it. That covers capital and liquidity, funding and banking relationships, pricing and return on capital, portfolio risk and credit discipline, financial reporting and planning, and accounting, controls and compliance.
You9ll shape how JPC funds its growth, manages risk, allocates capital, and you9ll build the people and systems we need to scale. It9s hands-on leadership: you set the direction, and you9ll roll up your sleeves when the work calls for it.
What you9ll do:
- Team Leadership. Build, mentor and develop high-performing Finance and Credit teams with a culture of sound judgment, ownership, accountability and practical problem solving.
- Capital, Funding and Liquidity. Ensure JPC has the capital, liquidity and funding structure to support growth. You9ll manage banking relationships, funding facilities, interest rate exposure, covenant compliance and lender reporting, and build capacity ahead of where the business is going.
- Residuals and Portfolio Risk. You9ll own concentration limits, provisioning and credit performance across the portfolio. Collaborating with our VP, Asset Management, you9ll set and monitor residual assumptions.
- Credit and Adjudication. Keep credit discipline strong while finding practical ways to say yes to good business. You9ll be the second set of eyes for the Credit Manager on the decisions that need it.
- Financial Reporting and Planning. Deliver accurate, timely reporting to the President, Board and lenders. You9ll lead budgeting, forecasting and planning, and provide the Executive Team the insights to make better decisions faster.
- Accounting, Compliance and Controls. Own accounting, lease accounting, tax, audit, treasury and financial controls, plus our regulatory program, including FINTRAC and AML.
- Client engagement. Work directly with clients on the decisions that matter most, from structuring deals to managing delinquencies and payment workouts, balancing a strong relationship with protecting the portfolio.
- Commercial Judgment. Bring financial rigor to decisions on new products, services and partner programs. You9ll lead negotiation of key commercial agreements and embed financial and risk thinking across JPC.
- Systems & Technology: Own the finance and credit systems that support our growth, driving automation and building a scalable foundation for reporting, adjudication and accounting.
What we9re looking for:
You have 12+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior leadership. Experience in fleet management, automotive and/or equipment finance or specialty lending is a strong asset. Bank or boutique, we care about the depth of your experience, not the logo. A CPA is preferred but not required for candidates with deep experience as a CFO or senior finance leader in a lending business.
You also:
- Have built teams, developed strong leaders, and held them to a high standard.
- Understand banking, lending, capital structure and liquidity management.
- Have excellent financial, accounting and commercial credit judgment.
- Are an expert in assessing financial performance, cash flow, leverage and creditworthiness.
- Turn financial information into clear recommendations and decisions.
- Can protect the balance sheet without losing sight of the customer and commercial opportunities.
- Take ownership, challenge assumptions and make decisions.
Why you9ll love it at JPC:
- A real partnership. You9ll work directly with the President, Executive Team and Board. We9re privately held, so decisions get made quickly, and you9ll be part of making them.
- Autonomy to build. You9ll have the autonomy to build our Finance, Credit and Risk function, influence strategy and create processes that scale.
- A chance to shape the industry. You9ll help define how commercial fleets are financed and optimized.
- A team that plays to win. You9ll join a talented, fast-moving group that values ownership, high standards and trust.
- Strong rewards. Competitive compensation, a performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits from day one.
