Finance Business Partner – Strategic Growth Opportunity

About the Opportunity

Our client is a well‑established, entrepreneurial organization with an outstanding reputation in its industry and an ambitious vision for the future. Backed by a strong leadership team and a solid financial foundation, the company continues to invest in growth, operational excellence, and innovation.

This is more than a traditional Finance Business Partner role. We are looking for someone who is passionate about business, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants to make a tangible impact on an organization's success. You'll sit at the intersection of Finance and Operations, partnering directly with senior leadership to influence strategic decisions, improve profitability, and help shape the company's next phase of growth.

This position is ideal for someone coming from a consulting environment – whether in accounting, corporate finance, advisory, management consulting, or legal services – who is looking to move into an operational leadership role where they can see the long‑term impact of their recommendations.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO and to the CEO, the Finance Business Partner will act as a trusted advisor to operational and executive leadership, providing financial insights that drive strategic decision‑making and business performance.

Beyond financial analysis, you will challenge assumptions, identify opportunities, improve processes, and help leaders make better commercial decisions. You'll work across departments, gaining deep exposure to the business while contributing to major initiatives, operational improvements, and long‑term planning.

This is a highly visible role with significant exposure to senior leadership and excellent opportunities for professional growth.

What You Own

• Partner with senior leaders to support strategic and operational decision‑making
• Analyze financial and operational performance, identifying trends, risks, and growth opportunities
• Develop financial models, business cases, investment analyses, and profitability assessments
• Support budgeting, forecasting, long‑range planning, and scenario analysis
• Provide actionable recommendations that improve margins, efficiency, and overall business performance
• Participate in strategic initiatives including acquisitions, expansion projects, pricing strategies, and operational optimization
• Challenge business assumptions through data‑driven analysis while serving as a trusted advisor to stakeholders
• Develop dashboards, KPIs, and performance metrics that provide meaningful insights to leadership
• Collaborate with Finance, Operations, Sales, HR, Legal, and other departments on cross‑functional projects
• Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, reporting, and decision‑making tools
• Present financial analyses and recommendations to executive leadership with confidence and clarity
• Contribute to building a high‑performance, collaborative, and continuously improving finance function

What You Bring

• CPA designation or equivalent
• 7+ years of progressive experience in Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, Transaction Services, Advisory, Consulting, or Business Partnering
• Experience within a consulting, accounting, legal, or professional services firm is considered a strong asset
• Strong financial modeling, analytical, and business problem‑solving skills
• Ability to translate financial information into practical business recommendations
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
• Strong commercial mindset and genuine curiosity about how businesses operate
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment where priorities evolve quickly
• Self‑starter with an entrepreneurial attitude and strong sense of ownership
• Passion for continuous improvement, innovation, and helping organizations grow
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP systems and Business Intelligence tools are strong assets
• Bilingualism (French and English) is required

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Be a true business partner! Not just a financial analyst
• Work directly with executive leadership and influence strategic decisions
• Join a financially strong, well‑established company with exciting growth ambitions
• Enjoy broad exposure across multiple business functions and strategic initiatives
