Original job description

Help Us Rebuild How Finance Works

Phantom Screens is the top-selling retractable screen brand in the world. Our Finance team is ready for its next chapter, and we want you to lead it.

This is a rare mix of strategy and hands-on work. You will redesign how Finance operates: cut manual work, bring in automation and AI, and get the most out of Macola. You will also take direct ownership of the finances for our Lower Mainland distributor (LOWM) and our awnings subsidiary, Rolltec. You will see your ideas go live and watch the numbers improve.

About Phantom

Our mission is to make life better, for our customers and for our employees. Since 1992, we have stayed focused on one passion: making and installing the highest-quality retractable screens on the market. Today our products are sold around the world.

Our values set us apart and make Phantom a special place to work:

  • Speak the Truth
  • Pursue Excellence
  • Serve Each Other
  • Practice Stewardship

We are committed to a safe, harmonious and respectful workplace, and every employee helps build it by living these values.

Why This Role

  • Real ownership. You will build and run the Finance transformation roadmap with the CFO and Controller.
  • Visible results. Faster month-end close, fewer spreadsheets, better data and stronger controls.
  • Technology you will shape. You will be the Finance business lead for Macola and our wider Finance systems.
  • Leadership with reach. You will coach the Accounting Specialist, work with Operations, Sales and IT, and report results directly to the CFO.
  • Variety. One week you may be mapping a new workflow. The next you may be reviewing LOWM results or planning cash.

  • Find and remove manual processes, duplicate work, unnecessary spreadsheets and inefficient workflows.

  • Write and maintain process documentation and standard operating procedures.
  • Set measures of Finance efficiency and track the improvements.

Lead ERP, Macola and Finance Technology

  • Act as the Finance business lead for Macola and related systems.

Drive Change and Develop the Team

  • Lead the rollout and adoption of new Finance processes and tools.
  • Train and support Finance staff on new systems and ways of working.
  • Build a culture of continuous improvement.

  • Investigate significant variances.
  • Keep financial controls working, and review significant journal entries, reconciliations and unusual transactions.
  • Work with the Controller on material or complex accounting matters.
