ABOUT THE ROLE

Planitar is looking for a VP, Finance to lead our finance function through a period of continued growth. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who has operated inside a company with $100M+ in revenue, but who thrives in the scaling‑company environment ($50M–$100M).

The ideal candidate is someone comfortable building process and infrastructure rather than simply administering what's already in place. You’ll lead a team of 5‑8, including a Sr. Manager, Finance and 4-5 Financial Analysts/Billing Specialists, and will be a key partner to the CEO and executive team on financial strategy, M&A, and IFRS based accounting.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the finance function end-to-end: financial planning & analysis, accounting operations, billing, treasury, and financial reporting.
• Lead and develop a team of 5‑8, including direct management of a Sr. Manager, Finance and oversight of 4‑5 Financial Analysts/Billing Specialists.
• Drive M&A activity, including deal evaluation, due diligence, structuring support, and post‑acquisition financial integration across international entities.
• Design and implement scalable financial processes and controls appropriate for a company moving towards its next growth stage — replacing manual processes with repeatable, integrated systems.
• Lead or support ERP/financial systems implementations (NetSuite experience strongly preferred), improving automation, reporting accuracy, and close efficiency.
• Partner with the CEO and executive team on financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and both parent and board‑level reporting.
• Oversee cash flow management, banking relationships, and treasury operations across multiple currencies/jurisdictions as applicable.
• Ensure compliance with tax, statutory, and regulatory requirements across all operating geographies.
• Build out and mature FP&A capabilities to support data‑driven decision‑making across the business.
• Act as a key advisor to the CEO on capital structure, financing strategy, and long‑term financial planning.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including prior experience at the VP level.
• Direct experience with global M&A; deal evaluation, due diligence, integration, and managing finance across multiple international entities/jurisdictions.
• A track record of designing and implementing financial processes and controls, ideally having taken a finance function through a period of scaling.
• Experience operating inside a company with $100M+ in revenue, combined with genuine comfort operating in a leaner, faster‑moving organization in the $50M range — this is not a "run what already exists" role.
• Proven people leadership experience managing teams of 5+ across finance/accounting functions.
• NetSuite implementation or optimization experience strongly preferred; broader ERP design & implementation experience considered.
• CPA (or equivalent) designation preferred.
• Strong communication skills and comfort operating as a direct financial advisor to the CEO/executive team.
• Experience in a technology, SaaS, or hardware‑adjacent business is an asset given Planitar's product line.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST YEAR

• Financial processes and controls are meaningfully more scalable and automated than when you started.
• The finance team is well‑managed, with clear roles, development plans, and reporting cadence.
• Any active or upcoming M&A activity is well‑supported from a financial diligence and integration standpoint.
• Leadership has clearer, faster, and more reliable financial visibility into the business.
• Key financial, tax and operational risks are clearly identified, and regularly reported to leadership.
• The broader organization understands why a timely, accurate close matters, how their own inputs affect it, and how reliable financial information helps drive key business decisions.
• IFRS transition complete with a clean audit opinion and an approved accounting policy manual which is applied across all entities.
