Director, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
Build the FP&A engine behind a scaled, PE-backed growth platform
This is a true builder role for an FP&A leader who wants ownership, visibility, and the mandate to professionalize planning at scale.
You’ll step into an organization at a major inflection point, already large, already complex, and now moving fast. The business is profitable, acquisitive, and backed by sophisticated financial sponsors who value clarity, cadence, and credible forward-looking insight.
What’s missing is not reporting accuracy - it’s planning leadership.That’s where you come in.
The Mandate (What You’re Really Being Hired to Do)
You will own and elevate corporate FP&A end-to-end:- Build a forward-looking planning, forecasting, and consolidation engine
- Establish a disciplined cadence for budgets, forecasts, and long-range plans
- Translate financial data into executive-ready narrative and insight
- Serve as the central FP&A hub for executives, the Board, and financial sponsors
- Scale FP&A processes to support rapid, M&A-driven growth
- This role exists because the business has outgrown “good enough.”
- The expectation is clarity, confidence, and control - at speed.
What You’ll Do
Own Corporate FP&A- Lead consolidation and all corporate FP&A outputs
- Prepare executive, Board, and investor-level materials
- Act as the central FP&A hub across the organization
- Own annual budgeting, re-forecasting, and long-range planning
- Establish a structured forecasting cadence (quarterly + rolling views)
- Drive scenario modelling to support growth, capital, and M&A decisions
- Work closely with senior leaders across Operations, HR, IT, and Corporate
- Translate financial data into clear, executive-ready insight
- Identify risks, opportunities, and levers to improve EBITDA and margins
- Lead and mentor a small FP&A team (Manager + Senior Analysts)
- Raise the bar on analytical rigour, storytelling, and accountability
- Build a forward-looking FP&A culture, not a reporting factory
- Operationalize a recently implemented planning platform
- Improve data flow, automation, and reporting efficiency
- Help prepare the finance function for the next stage of enterprise scale
What This Role Is Not
- Not a passive reporting role
- Not a narrow analytics seat
- Not a “wait-for-direction” FP&A job
- You’re expected to set the cadence, own the narrative, and lead from the front.
Who You Are
- You’re an experienced FP&A leader who has built, not just inherited:
- 10+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance
- Proven ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and planning cycles
- Experience in a multi-location, complex operating environment
- Comfort operating in PE-backed or high-growth businesses
- Strong consolidation, modelling, and executive communication skills
- Forward-looking thinking
- Clear financial judgment
- Executive presence
- The ability to turn complex data into a compelling story
- Exceptional communication skills and ability to tell a story about the numbers
Why High-Performing FP&A Leaders Take This Role
- True ownership of corporate FP&A
- High visibility with executive leadership and financial sponsors
- A platform expected to double in scale
- Clear runway to Senior Director / VP-level scope
- The chance to build something meaningful and be known for it
Location & Compensation
- Toronto-based hybrid role (4 days in office)
- Competitive base salary with performance bonus
- Designed as a career-accelerating leadership role
