Director of Finance-CPA Required

About EVORETRO EVORETRO is a fast-growing consumer products company expanding across Canada, the U.
S., Europe, and international markets. As we continue to scale our distribution network, product portfolio, inventory, and international operations, we are looking for a hands-on Director of Finance & Strategic Planning to lead our finance function and help structure the next stage of our growth. This is not a traditional accounting-only role. We are looking for a CPA who wants to be close to the business — someone who can understand the numbers, challenge assumptions, improve profitability, protect cash flow, strengthen financial controls, and help management make better decisions. Reporting closely to the CEO and working with the leadership team, this person will lead and develop our internal finance team and collaborate with banks, accountants, tax specialists, government partners, and other external advisors. The Role As Director of Finance & Strategic Planning, you will be a key financial partner to the CEO and leadership team. You will lead a finance team of approximately three people across accounting, bookkeeping, controllership, and financial analysis. Your role will be to bring structure, visibility, discipline, and strong financial judgment to a rapidly growing international business. You will help management answer important questions such as:
• Where are we generating the strongest margins?
• Where are we losing profitability?
• How much inventory should we purchase?
• How much working capital do we need?
• How do we improve cash flow?
• Where should we invest?
• Which customers, products, countries, and channels are the most profitable?
• What are the financial risks of a new warehouse, 3PL, market, or expansion project?
• How should we structure pricing and customer programs?
• How should we finance continued growth?
