Full Job Description
As our Director of Finance, you'll own the monthly close from start to finish across three entities in two countries, lead a finance team of four, and report directly to the CFO. You'll have the autonomy to improve processes, modernize systems, and influence executive decisions while remaining close enough to the numbers to understand every detail.

This is a Director title with Controller-level ownership. You'll sign off on the financial statements-and you'll still be comfortable rolling up your sleeves to build a reconciliation when needed.

  • Coordinating annual audits and tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Leading and mentoring a team of four finance professionals located in Canada and Mexico.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve internal controls, reporting accuracy, and accounting processes.
  • Leading our future migration from QuickBooks to a mid-market ERP platform.
