About the Role

Kensington Grey Agency Inc. is seeking an experienced VP, Finance & Strategic Operations to serve as a senior strategic and financial leader within a fast-growing, entrepreneurial organization operating across North America. This role is not a traditional, accounting-led finance role but rather a senior member of the organization sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, covering financial planning & analysis, accounting operations, and cross-border financial strategy, while building the systems, processes, and team structure needed to support a scaling, sales-driven organization.

Responsibilities

Own the accounting function end-to-end, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and adherence to accounting best practices.
Ensure accurate, timely financial record-keeping and close processes across US and Canadian entities.
Bring CPA-level rigor to the agency's books, policies, and financial practices.
Lead cross-border financial strategy, including US/Canadian tax considerations and transfer pricing between entities.
Own and continually strengthen the company's commission and bonus program, ensuring it is effective, well-governed, and aligned to a sales/commission-based business model.
Build operational structure from the ground up including lead evaluation and implementation of finance systems/tools (e.g., accounting, expense, and payroll platforms) to support scalable, automated reporting.
Operate as a hands-on leader within a start-up environment, building a lean, scalable team structure that can grow with the business.
Recruit, lead, and develop a finance team setting the tone for a high-performing, collaborative function.
Bring commercial fluency to rate structures, talent deal economics, and fee/margin conversations, supporting pricing and scope decisions.
Develop frameworks for understanding profitability by client, business unit, service offering, market and revenue stream.
Provide strategic recommendations regarding revenue growth, margin expansion, cost structure, resource allocation and capital deployment.
Build and strengthen financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and business insight across the organization.
Serve as a senior financial advisor to the CEO, COO, CoSS, and fellow Senior Leadership Team members, providing clear recommendations on growth, profitability, investment and risk.
Develop KPIs and performance dashboards that give leadership timely visibility into the health of the business.
Hold a leadership seat at the table, bringing an enterprise-wide perspective to leadership conversations, developing and influencing overall company strategy.
Partner cross-functionally with business development, talent, and operations teams to translate financial insight into decisions.
Identify, assess and execute potential acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships and joint ventures.

Requirements

12-15+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including significant experience in senior finance leadership roles.
Experience working across both US and Canadian markets, with a strong understanding of cross-border strategies including taxation and transfer pricing.
Proven experience building operational and team structure, including developing new processes and systems from scratch.
Experience leading and developing a team of at least two people.
Hands-on leadership experience in a start-up environment, comfortable with small and scalable team structures.
Advanced analytics skills, with the ability to build complex financial models to drive informed decision-making.
CPA designation or equivalent professional accounting qualification.
Experience developing executive-level reporting materials for senior leadership teams and business stakeholders.
Experience in a sales/commission-based environment, including ownership of an effective commission or bonus program.
