• Elevate Finance into a strategic business partner by building insight-led advisory capabilities and turning data into actionable recommendations.
• Improve end-to‑end operational finance processes (FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, O2C, P2P, R2R) to boost efficiency, control, and business impact.
• Implement and optimise digital finance technologies: Cloud ERP/EPM, automation, and AI, to drive process excellence and effectiveness.
• Uplift Enterprise Performance Management to reveal performance drivers, accelerate decision‑making, and unlock growth.
• Lead large‑scale finance transformation programs, collaborating in cross‑functional teams and with client stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.

What we’re looking for:

• A consulting, continuous improvement, or project‑oriented background with experience delivering finance transformation.
• Expertise in finance operating model and service delivery model design, and end‑to‑end process improvement across P2P, O2C, R2R, and FP&A/PB&F.
• Advisory and hands‑on experience with finance technologies and automation tools, including SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, OneStream, Workday Adaptive, Microsoft/Power BI, and data visualisation platforms (e.g., Tableau, QlikView).
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to address complex business challenges and translate insights into practical outcomes.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams.
• Interest in Future of Finance trends, including AI and Agentic Finance.
• A degree in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce is preferred; professional qualifications such as CPA Australia, CA ANZ, or CIMA are highly regarded but not mandatory.

What you’ll gain:

• The opportunity to work with leading organisations and cutting‑edge technology that challenge and expand your expertise.
• Work within an inclusive environment committed to Inclusion and Diversity and First Nations Prosperity, ensuring diverse perspectives are at the forefront of our work.
• Flexibility means trusting you to choose when, where, and how you work balancing what’s best for you, your team, and your clients to grow and thrive together.
• Clear paths for career progression supported by continuous learning and leadership development.
• Generous leave entitlements to support your work‑life balance - including floating public holidays, birthday leave and ability to purchase additional leave on top of your four weeks.
