Job description

Join our team and take your career to the next level. Job Summary: Français: Le directeur des Finances est responsable des opérations financières, de la planification budgétaire, des prévisions financières, de la production de rapports financiers, des contrôles internes, de la conformité et de la gouvernance d’entreprise. Il s’agit d’un poste de direction qui relève directement du directeur général et agit comme bras droit de celui‑ci pour toutes les questions liées à la croissance et à la rentabilité de l’entreprise. Le directeur des Finances supervise directement une petite équipe des Finances, qui comprend actuellement un consultant externe, tout en étant fortement impliqué dans les opérations financières quotidiennes. Le rôle comporte également des interactions fréquentes avec tous les chefs de service de l’organisation, ainsi qu’une collaboration régulière avec la direction de Modaxo et la gestion de portefeuille. La finance est souvent perçue comme une science exacte, mais ce rôle repose fortement sur un jugement tourné vers l’avenir. Une prévision exacte dépend de l’analyse d’un ensemble de variables - la probabilité que les occasions du pipeline se concrétisent, la performance de l’organisation dans l’exécution de ses projets et la capacité des clients à respecter leurs échéanciers de projet, entre autres. Expretio se fixe des standards élevés à cet égard : les résultats réels doivent se rapprocher des projections trimestrielles, et les écarts, dans un sens comme dans l’autre, sont considérés comme des situations à comprendre et à corriger. Le directeur des Finances collabore avec la haute direction et les responsables fonctionnels de l’ensemble de l’organisation afin d’aligner la stratégie financière sur les priorités d’affaires, de veiller à ce que les modalités des soumissions et des contrats respectent les paramètres corporatifs, et de transformer les données financières en renseignements exploitables pour l’équipe de direction. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec tous les services afin de comprendre les indicateurs clés de performance fondamentaux de l’entreprise et de contribuer à l’élaboration de stratégies permettant d’atteindre les objectifs de l’entreprise, en passant aisément de l’exécution concrète au rôle de conseiller stratégique au sein d’une petite équipe. Expretio est une entreprise SaaS établie à Montréal, spécialisée dans les logiciels de gestion des revenus pour les opérateurs ferroviaires et d’autobus, et faisant partie du portefeuille de Modaxo (Constellation Software). Le directeur des Finances joue un rôle central dans l’établissement de la discipline financière et dans la prise de décisions stratégiques qui soutiennent la croissance continue d’Expretio au sein de ce portefeuille. Pour un professionnel des finances axé sur sa carrière, ce rôle offre également une voie vers des occasions plus larges au sein de la famille d’entreprises Modaxo et Constellation Software.

English: The Director of Finance is responsible for financial operations, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, internal controls, compliance, and corporate governance. This is a senior management position reporting directly to the General Manager, serving as the right hand of the GM on all matters relating to business growth and profitability. The Director of Finance directly oversees a small Finance team, currently including one outside contractor, with extensive hands-on involvement in day‑to‑day financial operations. The role also involves frequent interaction with all department heads across the organization, as well as regular engagement with Modaxo leadership and portfolio management. Finance is often thought of as an exact science, but this role depends heavily on forward‑looking judgment. An accurate forecast depends on reading a range of variables - the likelihood that pipeline deals will close, the organization’s own delivery performance, and whether clients will hit their project timelines, among others. Expretio holds itself to a high standard on this front: actuals are expected to land close to quarterly projections, and misses in either direction are treated as a problem to understand and correct. The Director of Finance partners with senior management and functional leads across the organization to align financial strategy with business priorities, ensure bid and contract terms adhere to corporate parameters, and translate financial data into actionable insights for the leadership team. They work closely with all departments to understand the fundamental KPIs of the business and help develop strategies to reach company targets, moving comfortably between hands‑on execution and strategic advisory work with a small team. Expretio is a Montreal‑based SaaS company specializing in revenue management software for rail and bus operators, operating within the Modaxo portfolio (Constellation Software). The Director of Finance plays a central role in shaping the financial discipline and strategic decision‑making that support Expretio’s continued growth within this portfolio. For a career‑minded finance professional, the role also offers a pathway to broader opportunities across the wider Modaxo and Constellation Software family of companies.
