Fresh Prep is Canada's largest Canadian-owned meal kit company and a certified B Corporation. We deliver chef-created meal kits, prepared meals and a growing grocery marketplace to customers across the country, from production facilities in British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, with operations in Ontario. We're a team of over 600 people and over $110M in annual revenue.

Our founders were named EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 winners and we've been recognized as one of Deloitte's Best Managed Companies in Canada, one of BC's Top Employers, and one of Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies.

You'll own the financial function of a national, multi-province, physical-operations business with subscription economics, which means you need to be fluent in both cohort and contribution margin analysis and in the operating systems required to manage food costs, labour productivity, last mile delivery and freight.

You'll be accountable for the numbers the Board and our Investors see, capital strategy and the financial rigour that lets the executive team make decisions quickly and correctly.

You'll report to the CEO, sit on the executive team, and be a standing presence in the boardroom. You will also, at points, be the person telling the rest of us that something we want to do doesn't work. We're looking for someone who is comfortable doing that.

• Own all financial reporting, including GAAP compliant statements, the annual audit and consolidated reporting across multiple provinces and legal entities.

• Own cash management, working capital, and cash forecasting in a business with meaningful inventory and seasonality.
• Manage our lending relationships, credit facilities, and covenant compliance.
• Lead financing strategy and execution: debt, asset-based and project finance, equity, and government programs, in partnership with the CEO and founders.
• Manage reporting and communication to a capital structure that includes multiple classes of equity and institutional investors, including the obligations that come with it.
• Own the government funding agenda, including SR&ED and applicable federal and provincial grant programs.

• Lead financial diligence, modelling, and integration on acquisitions and other strategic transactions.
• Provide modelling and analytical support for growth decisions: new facilities, capacity investment, category expansion, long-term supply contracts, and technology investment.
• Bring financial discipline to pricing and promotional strategy in partnership with the CMO, including the margin envelope within which marketing operates.

• Own cost accounting for a manufacturing and logistics business: standard costs, food cost variance, labour productivity, delivery, freight, and waste.
• Partner with Operations on the decisions that determine our gross margin and be a genuine second set of eyes on capital projects.
• Support technology and automation decisions with credible business cases and honest post-mortems.

• Ensure legal and regulatory compliance across all financial functions, including multi-province tax (GST/HST, QST, PST), payroll compliance in four provinces including Quebec, and corporate filings.
• Maintain the internal controls appropriate to our scale and to the diligence standards our investors and lenders apply.
• Support the Board and its committees with materials, forecasts, and the analysis behind major decisions.

• Lead, structure, and develop the finance, accounting and supply chain teams
• Continue building systems and processes that create more thinking and less data manipulation. This is a company where the finance team should be spending its time on analysis, not on reconciliation.

• 12+ years in finance and/or accounting, including…
