Position Summary

The Business Unit Finance Director is a strategic finance leader and trusted advisor to the Labstat executive team. You’ll direct all aspects of financial management—planning, analysis, controllership, and reporting—ensuring Labstat hits its profitability targets, sustains healthy cash flow, and delivers on aggressive growth and margin objectives.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Strategic Financial Leadership

  • Partner with Leadership : Advise the Business Unit President and senior operations leaders on financial implications of new products, market expansions, and capital projects.

2. Operational & Commercial Finance

  • Pricing & Profitability : Collaborate with Sales to model cost-plus pricing, optimize test-service margins (targeting 20%+ incremental contribution), and monitor customer-segment profitability.
  • KPI Tracking : Define and track laboratory throughput, utilization rates, backlog days, and cost-per-test metrics; work with Lab Managers to continuously drive productivity improvements.
  • Investment Analysis : Develop business cases for new-capacity investments, equipment upgrades (capex up to $5 million), and M&A opportunities; quantify ROI and payback timelines.
  • 3. Controllership & Compliance

  • Reporting Integrity : Oversee month-end close for Canadian entities; ensure timely consolidation with US / EU units under US GAAP.
  • Internal Controls : Maintain SOX-ready processes, lead quarterly control reviews, and implement continuous-improvement initiatives to strengthen compliance.
  • Treasury & Transactions : Supervise billing, collections (DSO target ≤45 days), payables, payroll, and treasury operations; liaise with tax and audit partners.
  • 4. Leadership & Team Development

  • Team Management : Build and mentor a high-performing finance team (5–7 direct reports), fostering skills in FP&A, accounting, and commercial partnering.
  • Culture & Collaboration : Champion a culture of data-driven decision making, cross-functional teamwork, and ongoing process optimization.
  • Qualifications :

    Education & Credentials

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA required. MBA or equivalent advanced degree strongly preferred.
  • Experience

  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership, including P&L ownership in Canada.
  • Proven track record in a multi-site, service-oriented or laboratory environment.
  • Experience partnering with commercial and operations teams to drive pricing and productivity gains.
