Finance Manager

Valsoft Corporation

5h • CA$90,000 - CA$100,000 • Remote

About The Position

Fluent Software Group acquires and grows vertical market software companies. Our portfolio businesses deliver mission-critical software to the industries they serve, and our Finance team provides the controllership, reporting, and M&A support that keeps the group scaling. As we continue to acquire, we are building a finance function that is technically excellent, systems-driven, and ahead of the curve on AI-enabled automation. The Portfolio Finance Manager reports directly to the Portfolio Director of Finance and works as part of the broader Finance team. This is a technical role combining reporting and compliance ownership. You will be the portfolio’s technical accounting specialist — owning the cash management process, ensuring robust internal controls and clean audit outcomes — while actively partnering with other department teams to raise reporting quality without becoming a bottleneck in day-to-day operations. You will own the reporting and treasury function end-to-end: from intercompany reconciliation to IFRS 15 and 16, tax compliance, and cash management across your responsible businesses.

Requirements

• A minimum of 4–5 years of relevant accounting and financial reporting experience.
• CPA, CA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification.
• Previous experience operating at the manager level, with responsibility for overseeing key accounting processes and deliverables.
• Proven people management or team leadership experience, including coaching, supporting, and developing team members.
• Strong IFRS technical knowledge — specifically IFRS 15 (revenue recognition), IFRS 16 (leases), and IFRS 3 (business combinations / PPA); consolidation accounting experience is essential.
• Advanced Excel skills; demonstrated experience using AI tools (Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) to automate finance workflows; Python or Power Query experience is a strong advantage.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with teams across Finance, Operations, Sales, and other departments.
• Ability to perform under pressure and consistently meet deadlines.
• High integrity and personal ethics, given the sensitive issues and information this role entails.
• A drive to improve processes and systems rather than maintain the status quo.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; capable of working with cross-functional and international teams.
• Well organized, detail oriented, and able to work variable hours when required.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• A can-do attitude with strong ownership; prepared to be held accountable for actions, behaviors, and targets.

Responsibilities

• Actively identify and implement AI-assisted automation opportunities within the controllership, reducing manual processing time and increasing capacity for higher-value analytical work.
