IMMEDIATE INTERIM OPPORTUNITY

Interim Vice President – Finance Integration project

Reports to: EVP Corporate Services & CFO

Duration: 6 Month

Full Time

Location: GTA West (Hybrid)

We are supporting a high-profile hospital following a recent merger in the appointment of a senior interim finance leader to partner directly with the CFO on a series of high-impact transformation initiatives.

This is not a traditional finance leadership role. It is a project-driven mandate focused on integrating, redesigning, and elevating the finance function to support the newly combined organization.

The Role:

Working closely with the EVP and CFO, you will lead and deliver against a number of complex and interdependent priorities, including:

• Leading the integration of two charts of accounts into a single, aligned structure that supports enterprise-wide reporting and decision-making.
• Directing the complete transformation of the Finance Function including organizational design, staffing, workflows and processes.
• Overseeing the consolidation of accounting platforms into a unified, scalable, and high-performing finance system.
• Driving process standardization and optimization across core finance functions (GL, AP, AR, payroll) to improve efficiency, controls, and reporting quality.
• Identifying and implementing opportunities to streamline workflows, eliminate duplication, and reduce manual effort.
• Supporting the design and implementation of the future-state finance operating model and organizational structure.
• Conducting a current-state assessment of finance capabilities, roles, and accountabilities, with clear recommendations for improvement.
• Leading the integration of two payroll systems into a single, harmonized platform, including alignment of processes, controls, and governance.
• Strengthening financial controls, policies, and governance frameworks across the newly merged organization.
• Enhancing management reporting, financial visibility, and decision support to the executive team.
• Supporting system implementation, data integrity, and change management efforts as part of the broader integration.

In addition, you will act as a key advisor to the CFO on a major capital redevelopment initiative, including:

• Developing the financial strategy and funding approach for a new hospital site.
• Building robust costing models, financial projections, and scenario analyses.
• Supporting business case development and investment decision-making.
• Ensuring alignment between capital planning, operating impacts, and long-term financial sustainability.

This is a highly visible role requiring both technical depth and the ability to operate as a trusted partner at the executive level.

The Profile:

We are seeking a seasoned finance leader who brings:

• Proven experience leading finance transformation, integration, or post-merger environments
• Direct experience with all aspects of the financial reporting cycle from identification of transactions to the preparation of Audited Financial Statements and closing entries.
• Ideally deep experience in healthcare or complex ministry funded organizations.
• Deep expertise across general accounting, financial systems, and payroll operations.
• Strong capability in process redesign, operating model development, and systems optimization.
• Experience partnering with CFOs and executive teams on strategic initiatives.
• Track record supporting large capital planning, redevelopment, or infrastructure projects.
• Comfort working in ambiguity, bringing structure quickly, and delivering outcomes at pace.
• Prefer CPA, CA designation.

This role will suit an interim executive who is comfortable stepping into complexity and adding immediate value through experience, judgement, and execution.

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside a CFO on a genuinely strategic and multifaceted mandate—shaping the future-state finance function while supporting enterprise transformation and a major capital program.
