Job Description

Maguire Metals | Full-time | In-house/Hybrid | Castleton / Northumberland County, ON

Maguire Metals is growing fast and we're hiring an in-house Finance Lead to take full ownership of payroll, payments, tax remittances, and day-to-day finance operations -- plus bring sharp, practical advice on purchasing strategy, equipment buys, and growth decisions.

This isn't a "keep-the-books-clean" job (though you'll absolutely do that). This is a finance + strategy seat for someone who can run payroll, AR/AP, taxes, and payments with discipline... and bring clear, confident advice on when to buy equipment, when to hire, and how to deploy cash to drive growth.

If you're a "financial weapon" who's also a calm, trusted teammate -- we want to meet you.

What you'll own (core responsibilities)
1) Payroll + People Cost Control

Run payroll end-to-end (accurate, on-time, compliant) Maintain payroll records, deductions, remittances, ROEs, and related reporting Support leadership with labour cost visibility and hiring affordability analysis
2) Accounts Receivable (Customer Payments)

Own invoicing support, customer follow-ups, collections rhythm, and payment tracking Maintain customer statements, credits, and payment commitments Improve cashflow predictability and reduce days outstanding
3) Accounts Payable (Vendor Payments)

Manage bills, approvals, payment runs, vendor terms, and vendor relationships Ensure clean documentation, coding, and posting inside QuickBooks Enterprise Keep us current without starving growth -- you'll balance discipline with momentum
4) Tax + Government Payments (in coordination with our CFO)

Handle HST/GST tracking and remittances Coordinate year-end readiness supporting the CFO Keep compliance tight and stress low
5) Financing + Equipment + Purchasing Strategy

Track and manage loan/lease payments and finance obligations Build purchasing strategies for equipment, materials, and major spend Advise on: buy vs lease, timing purchases, cash preservation, and ROI Bring proactive insight on: when to invest in people, when to automate, and what will actually move the growth needle
6) QuickBooks Enterprise Ownership (non-negotiable)

You will be the internal QB Enterprise power user Maintain chart of accounts hygiene, workflows, and reporting accuracy Build dashboards/report packs leadership can actually use
What "great" looks like in this role

Within the first 90 days, you've:

Stabilized and tightened our payroll + AR/AP cadence Built clean reporting that shows cash position, payables runway, receivables, margins, and spend vs plan Improved collection consistency and reduced avoidable late payments Created a simple, repeatable process for evaluating equipment purchases and hiring decisions Become a trusted voice in leadership conversations (firm, clear, and solutions-first)
Must-haves (deal breakers)

Strong QuickBooks Enterprise proficiency

(not Online, not "I can learn it") Proven experience owning payroll + AR/AP + tax remittances + cashflow Confidence advising leadership on spending, timing, and ROI High accuracy, strong documentation habits, and a "tight ship" mindset In-person availability -- this is a full-time, in-house / hybrid role
Nice-to-haves

Experience in manufacturing, construction supply, metal, or high-volume operations Experience with equipment financing/leases, capex planning, and inventory/purchasing controls Comfort building simple models (ROI, payback, margin impact) in Excel/Sheets Experience improving financial processes (approvals, purchasing rules, vendor terms, collections cadence)
Soft skills we actually care about

You communicate clearly without ego You can push back respectfully (and explain why) You're steady under pressure and don't let deadlines slide You work well with operators -- production, sales, leadership -- and you make the team better, not tense
Compensation

Competitive and based on experience. We'll pay for the right person -- especially someone who can protect cash, improve decisions, and fuel growth.
