Job Description

Are you a seasoned finance leader who thrives in dynamic, high-stakes environments? Do you bring the rare ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution--especially when timelines are tight and expectations are high? Can you bring structure, discipline, and confidence to a finance function in transition? If so, this interim opportunity may be exactly what you're looking for.
We're supporting an exciting organization in the GTA in identifying an Interim VP, Finance to step in during a period of leadership absence. This is a critical role that will provide immediate support to the CEO, guide a dedicated finance team, and ensure continuity across key financial functions during a pivotal time.
But this is more than a caretaker role--it's a chance to bring stability, clarity, and leadership to a high-integrity organization navigating growth, transformation, and operational complexity.
Key Responsibilities

• Provide strategic financial leadership and hands-on support to the CEO and executive team.
• Lead and mentor the finance team to ensure continuity, accountability, and performance.
• Manage urgent priorities including:

• Cash flow oversight and banking relationships.
• Audit preparation and execution (general and service-specific).
• Board and committee reporting, including financial presentations and risk assessments.
• Support ongoing systems and technology implementations while maintaining operational focus.
• Strengthen internal controls, reconciliations, and documentation to ensure compliance and transparency.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to assess risks, stabilize operations, and prioritize urgent issues.
• Engage confidently with the Board and external stakeholders, including funders and auditors.

What Sets You Apart

• Proven experience in interim or senior finance leadership roles, ideally within complex, service-based or not-for-profit environments.
• Strong audit, reconciliation, and documentation skills, in dealing with external funders.
• Skilled in cash flow planning, banking, and payment processes with a focus on control and precision.
• A calm, steady presence under pressure--able to build trust quickly and lead with integrity and empathy.
• Confident communicator with the presence to engage senior stakeholders and Board members.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, assessing priorities, and delivering results in fast-moving environments.
• Experience supporting organizational transformation, including systems upgrades or ERP implementations.

This is a meaningful opportunity for an experienced finance leader to make an immediate impact during a critical time. The role is based in Toronto, ON, with flexibility for a hybrid work arrangement (minimum two days per week on-site).
If you're ready to step into a high-impact interim role and help guide a purpose-driven organization through a key transition, we'd love to hear from you.
