Job description

Meher Trailer Products Pty Ltd – Hallam VIC

The Meher Group | Hallam, VIC | Full-Time

The Meher Group designs, manufactures, and distributes high-quality components for the trailer and recreational vehicle industries. We're a fast-growing, family-owned business with our Head Office in Australia and offices around the world — and we're looking for a Finance and Supply Chain Manager to lead our finance and purchasing teams and keep our accounts accurate, controlled and on time.

Why You'll Like It Here

Small, tight-knit team where your work has a visible, immediate impact.

Real ownership: you'll own the accuracy and control of the Group's accounts and how purchasing runs, from first purchase order through to payment.

Cross-functional exposure: You will work directly with the CEO, our finance and purchasing teams, our Business Systems team, and colleagues across Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the Netherlands.

A rapidly growing company that offers genuine career growth and invests in people who want to grow with it long-term.

What You'll Do

Lead and develop the finance and purchasing teams, setting clear expectations and training staff on procedures and the finance system.

Run the monthly and quarter-end close to an agreed calendar and sign off bank reconciliations.

Make sure every journal and credit memo is independently reviewed before it is posted.

Keep statutory, tax and indirect tax filings accurately and on time in each country we operate in.

Oversee purchasing: purchase orders, supplier relationships, container and shipment planning, and landed cost.

Work with our Business Systems team so that Business Central approval workflows and posting controls do the checking for us.

Document how our key processes work, keep them current, and report regularly to the CEO.

What You'll Bring

Qualified accountant (CA, CPA or equivalent) with experience leading a finance team in a business with more than one entity or country.

Solid grasp of month-end and year-end close, intercompany accounting, and statutory and tax compliance.

Proven experience building and enforcing review and approval controls, and managing and developing people.

Exposure to purchasing, inventory or import operations, including landed cost. Business Central experience is a plus.

Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Teams, Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Excellent time management, organization, and record-keeping skills, with sharp attention to detail.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.

A self-starter mindset — someone who takes initiative, solves problems, and doesn't need handholding.

Comfortable working autonomously and collaboratively in a small team.

Flexibility to occasionally work outside standard hours to connect with colleagues and stakeholders overseas.

Applicants must be authorized to work in Australia on a permanent basis. We do not offer employment visa sponsorship.
