VP, Finance

VP, Finance Edgecom Energy | Toronto, ON (Hybrid)
About Edgecom Energy Edgecom Energy is an AI-native energy management platform serving commercial and industrial facilities across North America. Our software monitors, predicts, and optimizes energy use, controls distributed energy resources, and participates in wholesale energy markets in a single integrated stack. We serve hundreds of the largest energy users across 240+ facilities and we're scaling fast: we recently closed our Series A and our team is set to double over the next 18 months as we expand across Canada and into US markets.

About the Role Edgecom is hiring its first VP of Finance. This is a build role: you'll create the FP&A and strategic finance function from near-zero on top of a solid accounting base, in a business with genuinely complex revenue mechanics:
SaaS subscriptions, demand response market settlements, program payments across multiple ISOs, hardware, and multi-currency CAD/USD flows.

You'll report directly to the CEO and manage an experienced Controller who owns accounting, close, and day-to-day cash operations, and owns them well. The division is clean: the Controller owns everything that already happened; you own everything that hasn't happened yet. Your mandate: take full ownership of the company's forward-looking financial operating system within 6 months (model, forecast, runway, board reporting, per-product P&L) so leadership makes every major decision against live numbers, and the company reaches Series B diligence-ready from day one.

What You'll Do Financial Planning & Analysis
- Build and own the company operating model: revenue by product and by market (IESO, PJM, AESO, Atlantic Canada, Quebec), headcount, opex, and cash
- Own the annual operating plan and budget with the Financial Controller and CEO; translate the phased hiring plan into a monthly burn curve and reforecast as conditions change
- Produce fully loaded per-product P&L as the standing input to roadmap and resource allocation decisions
- Build per-market unit economics: CAC, payback, revenue per MW under management, contribution margin by ISO
- Run monthly variance analysis with narrative: plan vs actual on revenue, burn, and hiring

Revenue Finance & Forecasting
- Own the company revenue forecast: bookings, ARR, and revenue recognition across subscription, demand response settlement, program, and hardware streams
- Maintain the ARR reporting standard: consistent definitions, CAD/USD normalization, one source of truth reconciled to the CRM
- Own revenue recognition policy for performance-based and market-settlement revenue streams with external accountants
- Support pricing and packaging decisions with margin analysis

Cash, Treasury & Runway
- Own the 18-month rolling cash forecast; report runway monthly to the CEO and quarterly to the board
- Set FX policy for USD flows and the payment approval structure; day-to-day cash operations stay with the Controller, who runs them well
- Set spend controls appropriate to a post-raise company without bureaucratizing a fast-moving team
- Forecast and time non-dilutive funding (SR&ED, IRAP, grant programs) in the cash model; the Controller owns the claim bookkeeping and audit trail

Board & Investor Reporting
- Own the monthly investor update numbers and the quarterly board package: consistent KPIs, on time, every time
- Serve as the finance point of contact for our institutional investors on reporting and information rights
- Build and maintain a continuously current Series B data room: metrics history, cohort data, per-product P&L, cap table hygiene
- Support M&A and strategic-partnership financial analysis as opportunities arise

Accounting, Controls & Compliance (accountable, with execution owned by the Controller)- Lead the design and implementation of the company’s US transfer pricing strategy and intercompany service agreements to ensure regulatory compliance and tax efficiency.

- Manage and develop the Controller; build on the existing close, bookkeeping, and cash operations rather than rebuilding what works
- Agree a written close calendar with the Controller and hold a 10-business-day standard
- Own the audit relationship…
