You want to own a finance function and have a real say in where the business goes next.

We are Dream Courts, a fast paced, growing sport court design and installation business backed by the NBL Group. We have created this role to own our finance function end to end, and to rebuild how it works as we grow.

You will join our leadership team, report to our CEO and the NBL Group CFO, and lead an accounts officer. As the role grows, you will support other NBL Group entities, including Performance Travel and First Ever.

• Lead accounts payable, invoicing, progress claims and debtor follow up, with an accounts officer in your team
• Run end to end payroll, including super, STP and award compliance
• Own job costing, WIP and project profitability reporting across all jobs
• Keep BAS, IAS, super and payroll tax obligations on track

And the non-negotiables - you hold a high standard on accuracy, you’re organised and reliable, and you thrive in a fast-paced business. You move between transaction detail and business level reporting in the same day, and you’re proficient in Xero or MYOB and Excel.
