Oversee centralized payroll for hourly, salaried, seasonal, unionized, and non-union employees across multiple companies and jurisdictions.
Ensure operational finance activities comply with internal policies, delegated approval authorities, collective agreements, applicable legislation, and established control procedures.
Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and improve finance processes, controls, reporting, and service delivery.
Establish meaningful performance measures for payroll, AP, AR, collections, and working capital.
Mentor, coach, and develop employees, creating opportunities for growth and preparing team members to take on broader responsibilities.
