Chief Financial Officer
Construction
North West GTA
A rare opportunity to lead the financial stewardship of a storied Ontario company through its next chapter of disciplined growth.
The Company
Founded more than 60 years ago, with a single bulldozer, the company has grown into one of the GTA's premier aggregate producers, operating 12 producing locations and an in-house gravel-truck fleet serving the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding markets. The company now includes four distinct businesses: aggregate sourcing and delivery; haulage and construction services; real estate and land development across more than 12,000 acres in southern Ontario; and two small manufacturing companies. The business comprises a portfolio supplying the sand, stone, and gravel that build Ontario, with a mission centred on energy efficiency, quality, service, environmental stewardship, and safe, respectful workplaces.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the CEO, the CFO will lead all financial operations of the company and its affiliated entities. The CFO will be a strategic partner to the CEO, senior management, and family shareholder group, bringing segment-level discipline to a diversified, capital-intensive private group with different P&Ls, capital requirements, cash-flow cycles, and return profiles. The mandate includes reporting, compliance, liquidity, capital allocation, systems, tax, risk, governance interfaces, and finance-team leadership.
Why Should You Be Interested?
· Shape finance for a diversified private Canadian group with exceptional underlying assets.
· Partner directly with the CEO and family shareholder group.
· Introduce disciplined segment reporting, capital allocation, treasury, and long-range planning.
· Lead a company whose materials form the foundation of Ontario homes, hospitals, roads, and water systems.
· Participate with the CEO in re-engineering this business into a modern, measurement-oriented, high-growth enterprise
· Enjoy competitive executive compensation, deep community roots, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.
Position Summary
The CFO will have full accountability for financial leadership and stewardship across the Group, including reporting, compliance, cash flow, capital deployment, consolidation, budgeting, taxation, risk, estate- and shareholder-planning interfaces, and external relationships. The CFO will build segment P&Ls, balance sheets, and capital-employed summaries for Aggregates & Haulage, Land Development, and the two manufacturing entities; lead the finance team; report solid-line to the CEO; present to the family shareholder group; and potentially serve on affiliated-entity boards. The CFO will coordinate with segment general managers without solid-line authority. A key aspect of the role will be the implementation of KPIs across the organization and introduction of a state-of-the-art ERP system and other modern information systems.
Specific Responsibilities
Financial Operations Management
· Own timely, compliant ASPE/IFRS reporting; annual budgets; cash-flow forecasting; liquidity; segment consolidation; capital deployment; and a written segment-specific hurdle-rate policy covering long-cycle land banking, mid-cycle development, and short-cycle operating capital.
· Maintain segment P&Ls, balance sheets, and capital-employed reporting; land classification under ASPE 3031 / IAS 2 versus ASPE 3061 / IAS 40; aggregate inventory, depletion, reserves, stockpiles, and resource reporting; and the ARO model under ASPE 3300 / IAS 37 / IFRS 6, including rehabilitation estimates, discount sensitivity, and reclamation-security reconciliation.

Finance Team Leadership
· Lead, recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team; set goals and succession depth; and define centralized head-office activities — consolidation, tax, treasury, audit — versus site activities such as plant cost, fleet cost, timekeeping, and payroll.
Tax Management
· Own corporate income tax, HST, Ontario Land Transfer Tax, municipal Development Charges, development levies, payroll taxes, and sector fees; ensure filings; and implement compliant planning involving land-sale capital gains, principal-residence considerations, Section 85/86 rollovers, estate freezes, associated corporations, and small-business deductions.
· Coordinate with external counsel and family shareholders on estate, trust, freeze, and intergenerational planning; translate decisions into dividends, buy-sell arrangements, structures, and entity-level actions; and maintain per-parcel tax basis for the 12,000+ acre land portfolio.
Executive & Financial Support
· Advise the CEO and senior team on reporting, major initiatives, capital projects, reserve-replacement permit economics, land-development underwriting, servicing, development charges, remediation, phasing, and long-cycle cash flow.
· Maintain reserve-life models covering depletion, remaining tonnes, replacement-permit pipeline, and lower-quality reserve costs; use them for borrowing-base, dividend-capacity, and land-conversion decisions; and operate intercompany cash sweeping, lending, dividend, and borrowing-base policies.
Risk Management
· Identify and mitigate financial, operational, compliance, licensing, and post-extraction land-use risks; maintain internal controls, periodic co-sourced audit, and CGL, environmental impairment, reclamation-bond, key-person life, fleet, and D&O coverage.
· Reconcile ARO to reclamation security annually; coordinate with MNR, conservation authorities, and sureties; quantify workforce payroll, CPP/EI, and multi-employer pension exposure; and quantify — without leading externally — financial exposure from community opposition, Indigenous consultation, and ESG proceedings.
External Relationship Management
· Manage bankers, auditors, lawyers, municipalities, conservation authorities, MNR and other regulators, surety/bond underwriters, and shareholder counsel; own banking, financing, covenants, audits, and the principal financial interface with the family shareholder group.
Requirements
· University degree and professional accounting designation, CPA/CA preferred.
· 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including 10+ years in senior finance roles.
· Enterprise-wide systems or consolidation implementation experience, preferably in multi-entity, multi-chart-of-accounts environments, with strong information-systems judgment.
· Proven financial reporting, compliance, budgeting, cash flow, capital allocation, and taxation experience across at least two of aggregates/extractives; construction/heavy civil; real estate/land development; or private/family-owned multi-entity businesses.
· Familiarity with ERP system implementations
· High energy and comfort with acting as a change agent for a 300 plus person organization
· Experience with family-company governance, limited public disclosure, shareholder agreements, dividend policies, and relevant standards: ASPE 3031 / IAS 2, ASPE 3061 / IAS 40, ASPE 3300 / IAS 37 / IFRS 6, and manufactured-goods revenue recognition.
· Experience with land-development underwriting, builder joint ventures, servicing and development-charge modelling, and major extractive or industrial capital projects.
· Strong communication, judgment, strategic mindset, and demonstrated ability to build and manage a high-performing finance team.
Qualifications That Are Not Required but Could Be Advantageous
· Aggregates, extractives, quarrying, construction materials, heavy civil, or related resource experience.
· Ontario aggregate, environmental, reclamation-security, and land-use regulatory familiarity.
· Land banking, environmental remediation, phasing, long-cycle development, wash plants, crushing circuits, fleet replacement, or manufacturing experience.
· Experience in family-shareholder decision implementation.
Compensation
$150,000 – $200,000, inclusive of bonus and car allowance.
