Who we need

Reporting to the Regional Finance Director based in Toronto, Canada, we are hiring a bilingual Finance Manager (English and Spanish) to lead financial reporting, analysis, and forecasting for two of Aquila’s LATAM subsidiaries. As an individual contributor, you will drive financial performance, ensure compliance, and enable strategic growth. You will work closely with local accountants, provide financial insights, and bridge Aquila and business leadership to influence financial strategy, optimize processes, and support growth initiatives including acquisitions, system transformations, and performance improvements. This is a permanent remote role based in Colombia, offered as an integral salary position with all legally mandated benefits.

• Drive business performance. Analyze trends, identify risks and opportunities, and present recommendations that influence profitability, efficiency, and investment decisions.
• Oversee financial reporting and compliance. Prepare consolidated reporting packages, ensure adherence to GAAP and IFRS, and validate compliance with Constellation Software policies and LATAM tax requirements.
• Optimize processes and controls. Assess and improve reporting, reconciliation, and control processes, implementing repeatable, transparent frameworks that strengthen financial infrastructure.
• Partner with local teams. Collaborate with accountants and finance managers in Chile, Colombia, and other LATAM locations to ensure accurate financial reporting, cash flow management, and policy alignment.
• Support growth initiatives. Provide financial guidance on acquisitions, system implementations, and operational improvement projects, serving as a trusted advisor to senior leadership.
• Monitor cash flow and intercompany transactions. Forecast cash needs, optimize working capital, and ensure timely transfers to headquarters while tracking key performance metrics.
• Present findings. Prepare executive-ready presentations and analyses, translating financial data into actionable insights that drive decision-making.

You bring

• The expertise. Experienced accountant with full-cycle financial accounting knowledge, ideally within SaaS or other complex, multi-entity organizations. Strong GAAP and IFRS expertise, with ability to navigate LATAM regulatory, tax, and business environments.
• The technical skills. Track record of improving processes, developing policies, and implementing reporting and control frameworks. Proficient in Excel; comfortable with PowerPoint and Word; experience with Great Plains is a plus.
• The analytical mindset. Ability to interpret complex financial data, identify trends, assess risks and opportunities, and present actionable recommendations.
• The ownership. Self-starter who thrives in a hands-on role, takes initiative, solves problems end-to-end, and creates repeatable, well-documented processes that provide long-term stability. Ability to work effectively with local accountants and business leaders to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• The strategic mindset. Aligns financial planning with business goals, supports growth initiatives including acquisitions and system implementations, and provides insights for cross-border decisions.
