Director of Finance

At A+, we bring architecture, engineering, design, project management, and construction together within one integrated, high-performing ecosystem. Here, you never carry a project alone: from pre-construction through delivery, you work side by side with every area of expertise, always moving toward the same goal. Together, we deliver projects faster, with less friction and more value.

Role Mission

Your mission will be to unlock our growth potential while protecting the A+ group’s solvency and liquidity. You will lead the financial strategy and consolidated cash management across our entire ecosystem while building a high-performing and reliable Finance & Administration function. As the guardian of our financial governance, your role will be as much about putting the right guardrails in place as enabling entrepreneurial ambition by providing the visibility needed to make the best decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead financial strategy and capital allocation: define the group’s long-term financial strategy, protect its solvency, and establish investment discipline based on return on capital and clear ROI/IRR criteria. 

• Protect cash flow and working capital: build a consolidated view of liquidity, optimize working capital, and establish rigorous governance around inter-company financing to protect the group’s operating companies. 

• Strengthen our financing capacity: build strong relationships with financial institutions, lenders, and capital partners, and structure the financing required to support our growth and real estate investments. 

• Build a world-class Finance function: strengthen and develop the team, clarify roles between business units and shared services, and ensure financial operations are accurate, reliable, and efficient. 

• Accelerate our financial transformation: evolve our systems, automate processes, and move toward increasingly predictive financial management through data, real-time dashboards, and dynamic budgeting. 

• Be a strategic partner to founders and leaders: turn numbers into decisions, challenge projects when needed, and build greater financial ownership and accountability across the leadership team. 

• 10 to 15 years of progressive experience in corporate finance, including several years in a financial leadership role; 

• You understand the realities of a growing entrepreneurial SME: you have built or scaled a Finance team and have worked directly with a CEO or owner-executives;  

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting and a CPA designation;  

• Strong experience in cash management, working capital, and multi-entity environments;  

• Experience with cash-flow forecasting, credit facilities, covenants, and lender relationships;  

• Proven ability to influence owner-executives and uphold sound financial governance, including the ability to challenge decisions and say no when necessary;  

• Experience in growth financing, acquisitions, or mergers & acquisitions (M&A);  

• Strong proficiency with ERP systems and financial digitalization — experience with Acumatica is an asset;  

• Experience in construction, real estate, or multi-company environments is a strong asset.
