Interim Vice President, Finance & Facilities

A well-regarded Canadian organisation is seeking an experienced interim finance executive to lead its finance and facilities function across a 12-15 month engagement. The role reports to the EVP Corporate Services and covers financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, cash-flow planning, internal controls, treasury, procurement and facilities governance. The interim will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and provide substantive support to the Audit and Finance Committee and Board.

This is a hands-on leadership role suited to an executive who is equally comfortable at the executive table and in the operational detail. The ideal candidate brings a CPA/CA designation, familiarity with IFRS, ASPE and ASNPO, and a track record spanning both not-for-profit and commercially oriented environments. The mandate is to protect what is working, identify opportunities to strengthen processes and controls, and leave the organisation in a measurably stronger position.

• Oversee the accuracy, integrity and timeliness of financial reporting, forecasting and day-to-day financial operations
• Lead and engage the finance team, providing clarity and momentum through a period of organisational change
• Advise senior leadership on organisational performance, longer-term planning and strategic decision-making
• Review and modernise financial processes, controls and practices to improve effectiveness and sophistication
• Provide governance and commercial discipline across facilities management and procurement
• Support the Audit and Finance Committee and Board with credible financial insight and reporting

• Significant senior financial leadership experience within a complex organisation
• CPA/CA designation with strong technical grounding in accounting, reporting, budgeting, forecasting and internal controls
• Working knowledge of IFRS, ASPE and ASNPO reporting standards
• Demonstrated experience leading teams through transition, change or transformation
• Hands-on executive style with the ability to move between strategy and execution
• Exposure to facilities, procurement and broader corporate services functions is highly valued
