Description

Our client, a private local technology company specializing in IT, is looking to add a Chief Financial Officer who will play a central role in structuring and modernizing the finance function. You will report to a manager who highly values collaboration and mutual support. Experiencing rapid growth both organically and through acquisitions, the organization is expanding quickly. You will join a stimulating environment in a globally recognized company. The position is offered in a hybrid work mode.

The role involves planning, organizing, and leading all operational functions related to multi-divisional financial and managerial accounting, ensuring accurate and reliable consolidated financial reporting. Oversight of billing operations, revenue reporting, and variance analysis helps optimize the company’s financial performance, while managing payroll ensures efficient and smooth operations across teams.

Coordination and analysis of internal financial statements are performed in a timely manner to provide management with strategic and informed insights for decision-making. Budgeting and financial forecasting are proactively driven, with rigorous variance monitoring, while cash flow and intercompany currency operations management ensures the company’s financial stability and liquidity.

Continuous evaluation of accounting activities and internal control systems allows for recommendations and implementation of more efficient processes. Oversight of regulatory obligations, including tax planning and compliance, ensures the company remains compliant and its operations are secure.

The role also offers the opportunity to participate in exciting projects such as mergers and acquisitions, integration of new businesses, and development and monitoring of performance indicators. Asset management, legal contract oversight, and involvement in shaping the company’s overall strategies provide a direct impact on its growth and success. Finally, managing corporate insurance policies and requirements completes a strategic and versatile role where leadership and financial vision come together to support the company’s ambitions.

Profile

Bilingual CPA with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience in a similar role as a finance manager (experience in the technology or software services sector is an asset). Success in this position requires excellent financial acumen combined with proven leadership skills. You take a hands-on approach to all financial aspects of the organization to provide strong support for strategic decision-making.

Strong analytical skills, sound decision-making, excellent organizational abilities, and high integrity enable you to effectively support the company’s operations and growth.
