Familiarity with research and development credits (SR&ED) is also highly valued.
This role offers unparalleled growth potential, the chance to make a significant impact, and the opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and innovative organization. If you are ready to take the next step in your financial leadership journey, this is the opportunity for you.
Key Responsibilities:
Finance Leadership
- Manage and develop a small finance team (1–2 members).
- Lead hiring, performance reviews, and team development initiatives.

- Hands-on, "roll-up-your-sleeves" approach to accounting and financial operations.
- Service or IT industry experience preferred.
- Proven expertise in FP&A, tax strategies, and financial systems.
- Familiarity with research and development credits (SR&ED).
Education
