Head of Finance

Full Time | On Site

The Head of Finance leads the finance, accounting, and human resources functions at Angstrom, with a team of seven. It is a hands-on leadership role with real breadth: you will own the integrity of our financial systems and internal controls, partner with the senior leadership team on performance, and act as our primary relationship with auditors, bankers, and tax advisors.

Our environment will keep you interested. We operate in multiple currencies, our revenue is earned through job costing and percentage-of-completion recognition, we finance international transactions with letters of credit, and we file an annual SR&ED claim. We are owner-operated, and you will have direct access to decision makers and the latitude to improve how things are done.

• Analyze performance to surface trends, risks, and opportunities, and develop KPIs that support business strategy.

• Maintain and improve our financial systems so they stay accurate, reliable, and able to scale with the business.
