Role: Vice President, Finance
Location: Mississauga, ON
Company: Amp Solar Group
Amp is a global clean energy developer on a mission to accelerate the energy transition, and we are thrilled to support their search for an experienced and capable Vice President, Finance. As the company evolves into a leaner, faster, more digitally enabled platform, they're seeking a strategically minded, hands-on leader to modernize the finance function during a pivotal period of growth.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the CEO, the VP Finance will own all core financial operations – reporting, controls, tax, treasury, systems – and be a key strategic partner to leadership across the company, including AMP Z, the organization's fast-scaling digital infrastructure platform.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role with high impact. You’ll shape the future of finance at a global organization, bring structure to a small but capable team, and help drive scale by improving controls, forecasting, liquidity visibility, and audit readiness.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work directly with a visionary CEO and world-class investors
- Lead through complexity: international operations, carve-outs, and growth-stage scaling
- Build from the ground up: design SOPs, automate reporting, and implement best-in-class processes
- Join a mission-driven company accelerating the shift to clean energy
What You’ll Lead
Core Finance Operations
- Oversee full-cycle accounting, month-end close, and IFRS-based reporting
- Drive improvements to processes and internal controls
- Manage audit prep, compliance, and risk management
Treasury
- Lead liquidity forecasting, cash flow management, and covenant compliance
- Enhance treasury function and working capital strategies
- Support hedging and banking relationships
Financial Planning & Strategic Support
- Partner with corporate leaders to improve forecasting accuracy
- Establish and track KPIs, deliver trend and variance analysis
- Align financial reporting with business goals and investor expectations
Team & Technology Leadership
- Assess and elevate internal team capabilities
- Design the finance org structure and implement finance systems strategy
- Automate key processes to increase speed and accuracy
What Success Looks Like
By 3 Months:
- Deep understanding of the business and financial objectives
- Hands-on involvement in the close process and liquidity forecasting
- Review and improvement of internal controls underway
By 1 Year:
- Strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- External audits completed successfully
- SOPs and streamlined reporting processes in place
- Finance team operating with increased efficiency and clarity
You’ll Thrive Here If You Have:
- 10+ years of progressive finance experience, preferably in energy or PE-backed firms
- A CPA designation and hands-on expertise with full-cycle accounting
- Experience with international operations, Netsuite, and Excel (intermediate+)
- A builder’s mindset, strong leadership instincts, and a sharp eye for scalable solutions
- A bias toward action and the ability to thrive in ambiguity
Perks & Benefits
- Competitive base salary + performance bonus
- Stock options
- 4 weeks vacation + hybrid flexibility
- CPA dues, education reimbursement & cell phone allowance
- Full benefits including drug and dental coverage
