Job description

We're LEDPAX (USA) and GNG Sales (Canada) — a growing, cross-border LED lighting business — and we're hiring a Director of Accounting and Finance to own and build out our finance department. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and room to grow as the company grows.

We're looking for someone ready to take the next step up — a strong accountant and emerging leader who wants to own a finance function end to end, not just a seat in a large team. If you're ready for more responsibility and want your work to shape a growing business, this is for you.

Multiple divisions across the US and Canada · inventory in 3PL warehouses on both sides of the border. We recently consolidated onto Odoo as our single system of record, and we're building the finance function to match the pace of the business.

What you'll do

• Own finance process excellence across both companies
• Run a reliable, on-time month-end and year-end close
• Deliver consolidated reporting across entities and divisions
• Build cash flow forecasting and a company budget with variance analysis
• Strengthen controls — AP approvals, expense reporting, AR/collections
• Own intercompany accounting and consolidations
• Build accurate inventory reporting across 3PL partners
• Manage US & Canada tax, remittances, and cross-border payroll
• Lead the annual engagement review and manage third-party firms (accountants, auditors, advisors)
• Serve as the primary banking liaison across both countries
• Lead and develop the finance team; set the cadence and standards
• Implement HR policies and oversee hiring, onboarding, and people processes
• Partner with ownership on strategy, growth, and company performance
• Keep optimizing our Odoo ERP

What we're looking for

• CPA or equivalent (or working toward it), with solid accounting experience
• Ready to step up into an ownership role — ambitious, driven, and hands-on
• An emerging leader who can build, coach, and set standards for a small team
• Detail-oriented — equally strong in the numbers and with people
• Month-end close and financial reporting experience (multi-entity a plus)
• Intercompany, consolidations, cash flow, and budgeting experience
• Experience with annual engagement reviews and managing third-party firms
• Comfortable acting as a banking liaison
• ERP experience (Odoo a plus)
• Open to implementing HR policies and supporting hiring
• Composed under pressure, solutions-oriented, a clear communicator

The details

• Location — On-site in Montreal, 5 days a week (not remote/hybrid)
• Role — Director of Accounting and Finance, with room to grow as we grow
• Compensation — Competitive, commensurate with experience
