About GPEKS Group

GPEKS Group is diversified companies managing portfolios in Premium Green development assets in Real Estate, Energy and Mobility infrastructure. Our scope spans into specialized academic and professional initiatives including the IREDI Executive Master in Real Estate Development and Capacity Building for First Nations and developing countries. 

We are seeking an elite, highly entrepreneurial Fractional CFO on a contract basis. We are focused on private capital markets and non-dilutive financing—there is no IPO in our immediate or near future. We need a world-class financial architect to optimize our corporate structures, secure private capital, navigate major institutional grants, and spearhead complex public-private infrastructure financing, such as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)  financing.

​

The Role & Key Responsibilities

As our Fractional CFO, you will act as a core strategic partner to executive leadership, focusing entirely on high-level financial engineering, asset optimization, capital growth, and institutional partnerships.

• Seed Funding & Capital Coordination: Directly lead seed-stage fundraising for new projects. Structure compelling private capital offerings and effectively coordinate with external fundraising teams to secure seed-round commitments.
• Grant Writing & Incentives Leadership: Spearhead the preparation, financial modeling, and strategy for minimum $10M major grant application, while actively identifying and securing relevant municipal, national, and international green incentives.
• Innovative Clean Energy & Building Finance: Leverage specialized green financing mechanisms, with a specific focus on deploying PACE  financing for asset retrofits and sustainable developments.
• Public-Private Partnerships (P3): Structure and negotiate Public-Private Partnerships for large-scale real estate, energy, and transport infrastructure projects both within Canada and internationally.
• Development Bank & Institutional Relations: Interface and negotiate directly with National and International/Multilateral Development Banks (e.g., Canada Infrastructure Bank, international financial institutions) to back large-scale infrastructure assets.
• Corporate Structuring & Tax Optimization: Determine the most effective vehicles for new and existing projects. Know exactly when to deploy a new corporation, a trust, a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), or a General Partner/Limited Partner (GP/LP) structure to maximize tax efficiency.
• Strategic Advisory (IREDI): Provide financial oversight and structural alignment for the IREDI Executive Master initiative, ensuring its commercial and operational integration within the group.

​

Who You Are

• The Structuring & Deal Expert: You have a deep understanding of advanced corporate law, private capital markets, M&A and P3 structuring. GP/LP setups, REIT conversions, and development bank financing frameworks are second nature to you.
• Grant & Incentive Savvy: You have a track record of successfully navigating large-scale ($1M+) government or institutional grants and green building incentives.
• Connected & Collaborative: You know how to quarterback external fundraising teams, broker relationships with institutional lenders, and speak the language of multilateral development banks.
• Independent Contractor: You run your own advisory practice or contract business. You want a flexible, high-impact role where you are judged strictly on the value you deliver.
• Results-Oriented: You prefer a compensation model that rewards success. You are confident enough in your ability to unlock value, win grants, and close deals that you want your upside tied directly to the milestones you hit.

​

Qualifications

• CPA, CFA, or an advanced degree in Finance/Business (MBA) is highly preferred, though a verifiable history of major deal-making, grant acquisition, and infrastructure financing overrides acronyms.
• Minimum 10+ years of senior financial leadership experience, specifically within infrastructure finance, real estate development, private equity, or sustainable energy.
• Proven experience working with Canadian and international infrastructure programs, P3 frameworks, or multilateral development banks.
• Expertise in corporate tax structures for mixed holding companies (Real Estate, Energy, Transport).

​

Work Logistics & Compensation

• Format: 100% Remote.
• Commitment: Part-time/Fractional. Hours will fluctuate based on active capital raises, grant deadlines, and project structuring phases.
• Compensation Structure: Built for a rainmaker. A monthly retainer to cover baseline alignment, paired with a very heavy results-based bonus structure (tied to percentages of private capital raised, successful grant awards, PACE financing deployment, or equity milestones achieved).
