Opportunity

Our client is seeking a Director of Finance with a clear path to becoming their Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This is a rare opportunity to work closely with the current CFO, a seasoned financial leader who will mentor and prepare the successful candidate for elevation to the CFO role within the next year.

As a recognized leader in the broadcast radio niche, our client has spent the past 15 years helping broadcasters transform into thriving digital businesses.

Joining this team means shaping the future of media and entertainment while advancing your career to the highest levels of financial leadership.

The ideal candidate will hold a CPA designation with 5 to 10 years of experience and demonstrate a hands-on, "roll-up-your-sleeves" approach to accounting and financial operations. Experience in the service or IT industry is preferred, along with proven expertise in financial planning and analysis, tax strategies, and financial systems. Familiarity with research and development credits (SR&ED) is also highly valued.
