Finance & Operations Manager

About us

Allard & Emond is a fast-growing residential-focused HVAC service and installation company serving the Greater Montreal Area. We work in an essential, high-demand industry, and we’re scaling quickly. As we grow, we’re investing in our people, our systems, and our processes — and we’re looking for someone who wants to grow right alongside us.

About the role

We’re hiring a Finance & Operations Manager to own the financial and administrative backbone of our business. This is a senior, trusted role reporting directly to the company President. You’ll oversee everything from accounting, cash flow, and payroll to insurance, licensing, compliance, and government reporting — keeping the company organized, compliant, and running smoothly while we expand. Just as importantly, you’ll help us build the financial discipline and systems that will carry us through our next stage of growth.

This is a role with real ownership and a clear path to grow. As the business grows, so will your scope and your opportunities — including the opportunity to build and lead a team beneath you.

What you’ll do

Finance & accounting

• Oversee the full accounting function: bookkeeping, accounts payable, supplier credits, bank reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, and year-end preparation for our external accountant
• Support annual budgeting, financial reporting, cash flow management, and accounts receivable management
• Strengthen internal controls and improve financial systems and workflows as we scale
• Manage banking and financing relationships, including credit facilities and equipment/vehicle financing

Payroll, compliance & reporting

• Manage payroll end to end, including CCQ reporting, employee records, records of employment, sales commission verification, and group benefits and savings plan administration (insurance, RRSP)
• Own all government reporting and declarations, including GST/QST (TPS/TVQ), CNESST and payroll declarations, RBQ payroll reporting, contractual payment declarations, and T4 / Relevé 1 / T4A slips
• Manage subcontractor compliance: payments, insurance and Revenu Québec attestations, and releases (quittances)
• Administer and renew the company’s licensing and certifications, including the RBQ, CMEQ, CMMTQ, CETAF, and BNQ, and maintain our Revenu Québec attestation

Operations & administration

• Manage the company’s insurance — group medical, commercial, and vehicle (SAAQ, driver list) — including renewals and claims
• Own key vendor and service-provider relationships (insurance brokers, benefits providers, software)
• Help manage our accounting and operational systems (QuickBooks, ServiceTitan)
• Maintain corporate governance records, including the minute book
• Support health & safety compliance (CNESST prevention, WHMIS) and periodic inventory
• Oversee day-to-day office administration, with the opportunity to build and lead an administrative team as the company grows

What we're looking for

• Solid experience in accounting, finance, or business administration, ideally in a Quebec-based SME
• Strong working knowledge of Quebec compliance and reporting (CCQ, CNESST, TPS/TVQ, RBQ an asset)
• Comfortable supporting both strategic financial management (cash flow, reporting, planning) and hands-on execution
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to own processes end to end
• Someone who embraces change and improvement rather than just maintaining the status quo
• Bilingual (French and English), written and spoken
• Experience in HVAC, construction, or the trades is a plus

Why join us

• A senior role with genuine ownership and direct access to leadership
• The chance to shape our finance and operations function — and grow into leading a team
• Significant growth opportunities as the company scales
• A stable, essential industry with strong momentum
• A team that’s excited about where we’re headed — and wants people who feel the same
