From denim that you can cycle in, to pants that eliminate sweat, DUER enables you to do everything you do in a day - in style.

We are looking for a highly motivated Finance Manager to lead the charge in building a world-class finance function at DUER. As a key member of our growing team, you'll take full ownership of accounting, reporting, compliance, and risk management — while supporting strategic planning and decision-making.

o Analyze actual vs. budget variances, provide insights, and recommend action plans.

o Support the development of a clean and scalable data architecture for better decision-making.

o Evaluate and optimize the accounting tech stack (GL systems, BI tools, databases).

o Assist in the annual budgets and periodic forecasts process.

o Manage KPI tracking and scorecard reporting across finance.

o Leverage Excel, BI tools, and AI platforms to drive reporting efficiency.

1. Accounts Receivable Management

o Optimize payment terms and vendor relationships for recurring spend.

1. Tax Reporting and Compliance

o Lead year-end tax filings across jurisdictions (Canada & U.S.).

o Determine monthly tax provisions and ensure accurate reconciliations.

o Handle complex tax issues and ensure compliance with federal/provincial/state requirements.

o Oversee multi-jurisdictional sales tax filings and registration requirements.

o Develop, implement, and maintain internal controls for key financial risks.

o Document and enforce SOPs for major finance and operational processes.

o Safeguard company assets through proactive monitoring and governance.

1. Team Leadership and Operational Excellence

o Hire, develop, and retain high-performing finance staff.

o Maintain well-organized financial and legal records (contracts, agreements, filings).

o Take on special projects and other duties as assigned.
