  • Perform variance analysis and deliver actionable insights that support decision-making.
  • Build and maintain financial models to support budgeting, forecasting, and strategic initiatives.

  • Collaborate with external auditors, banks, and tax advisors to support audits and ensure compliance.
  • Analyze cost drivers such as sales forecasts, labor, and overhead rates to support pricing and profitability reviews.

  • Support ERP system enhancements, financial automation projects, and dashboard/report development.
  • Refine and monitor KPIs to align finance with broader organizational goals.

Insurance, Risk & Compliance

  • Lead the financial review of annual insurance renewals (property, liability, civil aviation, cargo, workers’ compensation).
  • Ensure strong internal controls, audit readiness, and compliance with applicable regulations.

Team Collaboration & Leadership

  • Supervise and mentor finance staff (if applicable), promoting a high-performance, accountable culture.
  • Represent finance in cross-functional initiatives and site-level projects.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field (CPA preferred).
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in finance or accounting roles; experience in multi-entity environments is a plus.
  • Solid understanding of ASPE and regulatory frameworks; exposure to IFRS/US GAAP is beneficial.
  • Demonstrated experience in financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and operational analysis.
  • Strong proficiency in ERP systems and financial tools (e.g., NetSuite, Power BI, Excel).
  • Excellent communication, business acumen, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
