Head of Finance

As Head of Finance at Tetra Digital Group, you own the complete finance function for Canada's leading institutional digital asset infrastructure provider. You'll be the senior finance leader and key partner to the CEO and board on accounting, FP&A, treasury, tax, audit, and regulatory reporting across Tetra Trust (a regulated custody arm), CADD Digital (Canada's first regulated digital dollar stablecoin), and the broader group. You'll shape capital strategy, lead fundraising, structure partnerships and M&A, and build the finance function for a business model being defined in real time.

What you'll do

• Own capital strategy across equity, debt, and strategic investment. Lead fundraising alongside the CEO, structure partnerships, M&A, and financing deals from modelling to close, and manage the cap table and investor reporting for a shareholder base that includes major Canadian banks and fintechs.
• Serve as key financial advisor to the CEO, executive team, and board on planning, controls, budgeting, and audit committee materials.
• Lead consolidated accounting and reporting across Tetra's entities under IFRS, including crypto-asset accounting and fair value measurement, revenue recognition for custody and issuance fees, and intercompany agreements and transfer pricing.
• Shape reserve investment policy with operations, compliance, and risk teams: determine what reserves to hold, where, at what duration, and with what liquidity buffer for weekend and holiday redemptions. Model reserve income across rate scenarios.
• Manage corporate treasury and liquidity across CAD, USD, and digital assets among financial partners, counterparties, clients, issuers, and holders.
• Own regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, regulatory financial reporting and FINTRAC compliance, audit readiness, and support SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II work and reserve attestations.
• Design and maintain internal controls built for a regulated crypto business and Canadian trust company, including segregation of duties and maker-checker on payments and wallet movements.
• Lead corporate income tax, GST/HST on digital asset and payment services, SR&ED, transfer pricing, and readiness for crypto-asset information reporting under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).
• Develop budget, rolling forecast, and scenario models for each business line. Analyse pricing, partner economics, and unit economics to drive growth.
• Implement and manage finance systems including an ERP, crypto sub-ledger, automated reconciliations, and AI-enabled reporting and analytics.
• Build and lead a growing finance team as Tetra expands, starting with hands-on work yourself.

What you bring

• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership, ideally a blend of experience in both regulated industries and high-growth startups, fintech, and institutional financial services.
• Accountability for a finance function whose numbers were audited and regulated.
• A bachelor's degree in business administration, finance, or accounting, and a CPA or equivalent professional designation.
• Advanced knowledge of IFRS, regulatory financial reporting, internal controls, and audit readiness.
• Capital and deal experience: equity and debt raises, M&A structuring and due diligence, negotiations, and cap table management across complex corporate entities.
• Multi-currency treasury, liquidity management and forecasting, and counterparty, operational, and regulatory risk assessment experience.
• Digital asset fluency: digital-asset accounting and fair value measurement, integrating crypto and fiat rails, and how a stablecoin's reserves, supply, and redemptions appear in financial statements.
• Canadian payments fluency: understanding of Interac, Lynx, EFT, and the Real-Time Rail, plus emerging standards like ISO 20022 and the Travel Rule.
• Design thinking to build and improve billing systems, crypto sub-ledgers, and processes.
• Strategic thinking to align finance strategy with business direction and anticipate how the finance function needs to scale.
• Strong communication skills to present to boards, clients, regulators, and investors.
• Comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments where standards are still being written.

Nice to have

• Leadership experience through a SOC 2 Type II audit, reserve attestation, or provincial or federal regulatory examination.
• Work on stablecoin, e-money, prepaid, or safeguarded-funds issuance where every unit outstanding is backed by reserves.
• Finance leadership inside a trust company, bank, or other prudentially regulated institution, including regulatory capital reporting.
• Completed capital raising efforts with strategic investors, banks, and VCs.
• Experience with APIs, smart contracts, and blockchain analytics tools.
• Built a finance function from scratch, including first ERP and sub-ledger implementation.
• Handled crypto tax and information reporting, including CARF readiness.

What we offer

• Base salary of $210,000-$265,000, commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and paramedical coverage.
• $1,000 annual learning budget for finance, accounting, and digital asset certifications, courses, conferences, and professional designation dues.
