Finance Lead – CPA

Job Title: Finance Lead (CPA)
Location: Vancouver, BC
Salary: $80,000 – $120,000 Annually

About us:
Our client is a growing, construction-adjacent project services firm in Calgary, building a scalable finance function to support continued growth. They’re seeking a hands-on CPA to lead financial integrity, cash visibility, and performance reporting across multiple entities.

This is a high-impact role suited to a senior finance professional who enjoys being close to the business. You won’t just report the numbers—you’ll shape decisions, strengthen controls, and build the financial backbone that supports sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting, Forecasting & Insights

• Own the monthly close process with strong intercompany discipline
• Deliver management reporting with KPIs, margin analysis, and cash flow outlook
• Lead budgeting, reforecasting, and rolling 13-week cash forecasts
• Turn operational data into actionable financial insights

Cash Management & Controls

• Lead liquidity planning and multi-entity cash management
• Oversee AR strategy, collections, and weekly aging reviews
• Ensure strong internal controls across vendor approvals, payments, deposits, and refunds
• Advise leadership on cash utilization and major expenditures

Billing & Job Costing

• Design and oversee progress billing, milestones, and change orders
• Ensure consistent, auditable billing across locations
• Maintain job costing structures and performance tracking

Compliance & Governance

• Oversee filings, remittances, payroll inputs, and intercompany reconciliations
• Support year-end processes, audits, and risk/insurance administration

Leadership & Operations

• Provide day-to-day financial leadership and stability across the organization
• Mentor junior staff and build scalable processes, SOPs, and coverage
• Act as the escalation point for finance and administrative matters

Why This Role Stands Out:

• High visibility and direct impact on business decisions
• A balance of strategic leadership and hands-on execution
• Opportunity to build systems, mentor talent, and shape financial operations
• Work across a dynamic, multi-entity environment with real complexity

Qualifications:

• CPA with 8–10 years of relevant experience
• Strong multi-entity accounting, project-based costing, and QBO proficiency
• Excellent internal controls discipline and process improvement mindset
• Clear communicator who can translate financial data into business insights
• Able to collaborate across locations and with HR/payroll

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary: $80,000 – $120,000 (based on experience)
• Very Robust Benefits package (details during interview)
• Growth-focused, collaborative culture
• Opportunity to shape and lead a key function in a growing company

This is a full-time, in-office role with flexible work optoins available in the future.
