Job description

DMC Recruitment and Search – Sydney CBD NSW

Here's the thing about most Finance Manager roles: you're either managing a narrow part of a larger finance function or spending most of your time focused on routine reporting. This one's different.

You'll sit in a lean Head Office team, working directly with the CFO across a genuinely complex multi-entity, multi-branch structure - 15 branches, state-based entities, trusts, the lot. You'll have broad responsibility across the finance function, real exposure to the operational side of the business, and a CFO who'll actually teach you rather than just hand off work.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading month-end close — reconciliations, adjusting entries, balance sheet work
• Overseeing inventory accounting and verification across multiple branch locations
• Preparing financial reports and variance commentary for branch managers and leadership
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting preparation
• Driving cost analysis, working capital, and commercial decision-making as you settle in
• Working across multiple entities — state-based structures, trusts, group reporting

Why this one’s worth a look:

This is a family-run business that backs its people not a transactional shop. You’ll get broader exposure than a single-entity role could ever offer, direct access to the CFO, and a clear path to grow your commercial skills as you prove yourself. Office-based, 5 days a week, this is a hands‑on, in‑person team.

If you’re a technically strong Finance Manager looking for real variety and a CFO who’ll invest in you, we want to hear from you.
