About Behavox

Behavox is shaping the future for how businesses harness their most important raw material - data. Our mission is bold: Organize enterprise data into actionable information that protects and promotes the business growth of multinational companies around the world.

From managing enterprise risk and compliance to maximizing revenue and value, our data operating platform presents a widespread opportunity to build multilingual, AI/ML-based solutions that activate data for every function within a global enterprise.

Our approach is unique, and it’s validated by our customers who tell us to keep forging ahead because no one else is aggregating, analyzing, and acting on data to uncover opportunities or solve problems quite the way we are.

We are looking for fearless innovators who have an insatiable appetite for building what no one has built before.

About the Role

The Head of Finance reports to the Chief Operating Officer and leads the finance function for a global business generating over $50M in revenue, with a growth trajectory toward $100M over the next 3–5 years. The finance function must scale with that trajectory, built to investor-grade standard and ahead of the curve the business is on. The role is accountable for financial planning, accounting, reporting, treasury, compliance, controls, and investor-facing outputs across a multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction environment.

The role serves as the senior financial advisor to the CEO and COO on forecasting, liquidity, capital structure, financing strategy, investment decisions, and growth planning. Behavox has a mature M&A strategy in place as one of several growth levers, and the Head of Finance is expected to bring strong hands‑on financial modelling capability to acquisition evaluation, financing analysis, scenario planning, and post‑transaction financial integration planning.

The Head of Finance is also accountable for building a scalable, AI‑native finance function. This includes managing the finance team, maturing financial systems and processes, implementing end‑to‑end automation, integrating AI‑enabled workflows, and improving the speed, accuracy, control, and maintainability of finance operations.

This is a hybrid position based out in our Toronto office.

3. Global accounting and multi‑jurisdictional reporting– Knowledge of accounting standards, revenue recognition, consolidation, intercompany accounting, transfer pricing, and financial controls across jurisdictions. Applies this knowledge to ensure financial outputs are accurate, consistent, and controlled.
4. Finance operating model and team leadership– Knowledge of how to structure finance teams, processes, systems, workflows, access controls, documentation, and operating cadences. Applies this knowledge to build a scalable and maintainable finance function with clear ownership and reduced key‑person dependency.
5. AI‑native finance systems and automation– Knowledge of finance systems, workflow automation, AI‑enabled tooling, agentic processes, and data flows across financial operations.
