This is a remote position; however, candidates must be located in the same country, city, or region where the job is posted. The successful candidate must be available to attend a local office, meeting, training session, or company event if requested.

The Vice President of Finance will be responsible for creating greater visibility, organization, accuracy, and accountability across the group’s financial operations.

You Will Be Expected To:

• Assess the condition of financial records, reporting processes, controls, and supporting documentation
• Identify missing information, unexplained balances, inconsistencies, financial risks, process gaps, and priority action items
• Improve cash-flow visibility, budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and management reporting
• Build clear reporting structures that help leadership understand performance, obligations, risks, and upcoming decisions
• Strengthen reconciliations, approval processes, internal controls, and finance operating discipline
• Coordinate effectively with internal teams and external financial, legal, tax, banking, and advisory partners
• Provide practical recommendations that support immediate decisions and long-term financial improvement

Key Responsibilities:

• Review, organize, analyze, summarize, and reconcile financial and accounting information across multiple companies
• Review banking, payroll, tax, ownership, investment, corporate, vendor, client, receivable, payable, budgeting, and forecasting records
• Prepare executive summaries, management reports, financial models, dashboards, schedules, trackers, reconciliations, workpapers, and memoranda
• Develop clear reporting on cash position, cash-flow requirements, expenses, receivables, payables, budgets, forecasts, and financial risks
• Identify incomplete records, unexplained transactions, reporting weaknesses, control concerns, and process failures
• Improve finance-related document organization, file structures, naming conventions, supporting records, and document readiness
• Strengthen month-end, reconciliation, and management-reporting processes
• Support budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, financial modelling, and operational finance planning
• Review and improve internal controls, approval workflows, finance policies, and accountability standards
• Coordinate with accountants, bookkeepers, tax advisors, legal counsel, lenders, banks, vendors, consultants, and other external partners
• Clearly communicate assumptions, limitations, unresolved questions, risks, recommendations, and required next steps
• Support financial clean-up projects, transitions, system changes, special reviews, and other senior finance initiatives
• Provide senior leadership with accurate, timely, and decision-ready financial information

Required Experience And Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, controllership, FP&A, corporate finance, or senior financial management
• At least 5 years in a senior finance leadership position, such as Vice President of Finance, Director of Finance, Controller, Head of Finance, or an equivalent role
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field
• A CPA, CA, CMA, CGA, MBA, or comparable senior finance qualification is strongly preferred
• Strong experience reviewing complex financial records, reports, reconciliations, budgets, forecasts, and supporting documentation
• Advanced understanding of financial reporting, cash-flow management, budgeting, forecasting, internal controls, and finance operations
• Experience preparing executive-level reports, dashboards, financial models, trackers, memoranda, and management updates
• Strong ability to identify financial gaps, inconsistencies, control weaknesses, process issues, and business risks
• Experience working with accountants, bookkeepers, tax advisors, legal counsel, lenders, banks, vendors, consultants, and executive stakeholders
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, including financial modelling, reconciliations, reporting, and structured data analysis

Experience That Will Stand Out:

• Experience overseeing finance across multiple companies, entities, business units, or operating divisions
• Real estate accounting or finance experience
• Property management accounting experience
• Asset management or development accounting experience
• Experience working in a founder-led, entrepreneurial, or rapidly growing organization
• Experience improving an existing finance function rather than only maintaining established systems
• Experience strengthening reporting, financial controls, documentation, systems, or cash-flow visibility during a period of growth or transition
• Experience combining strategic finance leadership with hands-on financial review and problem-solving

The right person is highly analytical but also practical. They can review a large volume of financial information, determine what is reliable, identify what is missing, and separate immediate financial risks from lower-priority clean-up work. They are comfortable working with senior management and can explain complex financial matters clearly and directly. They do not simply identify problems. They organize the work, establish priorities, recommend solutions, and create the reporting and financial discipline required to support better decisions.

Success In This Role Will Mean:

• Leadership has clearer and more reliable visibility into the financial position of the group
• Cash-flow requirements, financial obligations, risks, and upcoming decisions are easier to understand
• Financial records and supporting documentation are organized, complete, and decision-ready
• Management reporting is timely, accurate, and useful
• Reconciliations, controls, approvals, and finance processes operate with greater discipline
• Missing information and unresolved financial issues are identified and assigned clear next steps
• Accountants, bookkeepers, advisors, and internal teams operate with stronger structure and accountability
• The finance function becomes more scalable as Rothenbury Group continues to grow

The base salary range for this position is C$180,000–C$200,000, based on the candidate’s finance leadership experience, professional designation, multi-company background, technical capabilities, industry exposure, and overall fit. The Successful Candidate Will Also Be Eligible For a Performance-based Annual Bonus Targeted At 15%–20% Of Base Salary.
