Your recommendations will be crucial in steering profitability strategy. You will also play a key role in negotiating forward contracts, securing optimal financial solutions for the company.
As an expert in internal controls, you will create and implement innovative policies to solve complex issues and continuously improve business processes. You will ensure compliance by proposing adjustments that will enhance the effectiveness and security of financial operations.
Your influence will also extend to process optimization, actively contributing to the design of operational processes that adhere to the highest financial standards while supporting the company’s ERP system. You will collaborate seamlessly with all teams (finance, purchasing, sales, operations, planning), ensuring that everyone’s needs are accurately addressed.
On the treasury side, you will ensure the production of key quarterly reports for the bank and oversee the management of currency funds (CAD, USD, EUR), while optimizing the companies' credit lines to ensure optimal liquidity.
Finally, you will be a true strategic partner, collaborating with operational teams, analyzing cash flow, and contributing to the development of ambitious business plans.
