Full Job Posting

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Own the finance function end-to-end: financial planning & analysis, accounting operations, billing, treasury, and financial reporting.
  • Lead and develop a team of 5-8, including direct management of a Sr. Manager, Finance and oversight of 4-5 Financial Analysts/Billing Specialists.
  • Drive M&A activity, including deal evaluation, due diligence, structuring support, and post-acquisition financial integration across international entities.
  • Design and implement scalable financial processes and controls appropriate for a company moving towards its next growth stage — replacing manual processes with repeatable, integrated systems.
  • Lead or support ERP/financial systems implementations (NetSuite experience strongly preferred), improving automation, reporting accuracy, and close efficiency.
  • Partner with the CEO and executive team on financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and both parent and board-level reporting.
  • Oversee cash flow management, banking relationships, and treasury operations across multiple currencies/jurisdictions as applicable.
  • Ensure compliance with tax, statutory, and regulatory requirements across all operating geographies.
  • Build out and mature FP&A capabilities to support data-driven decision-making across the business.
  • Act as a key advisor to the CEO on capital structure, financing strategy, and long-term financial planning.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including prior experience at the VP level.
  • Direct experience with global M&A deal evaluation, due diligence, integration, and managing finance across multiple international entities/jurisdictions.
  • A track record of designing and implementing financial processes and controls, ideally having taken a finance function through a period of scaling.
  • Experience operating inside a company with $100M+ in revenue, combined with genuine comfort operating in a leaner, faster-moving organization in the $50M range — this is not a "run what already exists" role.
  • Proven people leadership experience managing teams of 5+ across finance/accounting functions.
  • NetSuite implementation or optimization experience strongly preferred; broader ERP design & implementation experience considered.
  • CPA (or equivalent) designation preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort operating as a direct financial advisor to the CEO/executive team.
  • Experience in a technology, SaaS, or hardware-adjacent business is an asset given Planitar's product line.
  • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST YEAR
  • Financial processes and controls are meaningfully more scalable and automated than when you started.
  • The finance team is well-managed, with clear roles, development plans, and reporting cadence.
  • Any active or upcoming M&A activity is well-supported from a financial diligence and integration standpoint.
  • Leadership has clearer, faster, and more reliable financial visibility into the business.
  • Key financial, tax and operational risks are clearly identified, and regularly reported to leadership.
  • The broader organization understands why a timely, accurate close matters, how their own inputs affect it, and how reliable financial information helps drive key business decisions.
  • IFRS transition complete with a clean audit opinion and an approved accounting policy manual which is applied across all entities.
  • PERKS AND BENEFITS
  • 100% employer-paid flexible benefits plan
  • Comprehensive Health & Dental coverage
  • Health Spending Account (HSA) or Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) options
  • 3% DPSP match
  • Hybrid Work Environment
  • Professional Development Incentive
  • Opportunities to grow as we scale
  • The backing of a global industry leader through REA Group
  • ACCESSIBILITY, INCLUSION & AI DISCLOSURE
  • Planitar is committed to a diverse, equitable, inclusive workplace and welcomes applications from all backgrounds. This is a back fill position. We provide accommodation under AODA at any hiring stage upon request. In line with Ontario law, we use AI only to summarize interview notes, never to screen, assess, or decide on candidates — all decisions are made by our team. Please note this is a new position.

Preferred Qualifications

  • NetSuite implementation or optimization experience strongly preferred; broader ERP design & implementation experience considered.
  • CPA (or equivalent) designation preferred.
