This is a hands on leadership role suited to a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys being close to the detail while also contributing to the bigger picture.

Experience within insurance, financial services, construction or another operationally driven services business will be highly regarded.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting
• Take ownership of core finance operations currently supported externally, including oversight of BAS, payroll processes and compliance
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and financial analysis to support business performance
• Ensure compliance with Australian accounting standards and statutory requirements including BAS, GST and PAYG
• Oversee month end processes, reconciliations and general ledger integrity across multiple entities
• Partner closely with senior leaders and operational teams, translating financial data into clear, practical insights
• Supervise and support two finance team members, providing guidance and structure as the function grows
• Drive improvements across financial systems, processes and internal controls in a scaling business

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
• 7 to 10+ years experience across accounting or finance roles within a commercial environment
• Strong technical financial reporting and compliance knowledge within the Australian regulatory framework
• Previous experience in a hands on Finance Manager or Financial Controller role
• Experience working across multi entity or multi state operations is highly regarded
• CPA or CA qualification preferred but not essential
• Experience with Xero or ERP systems and confidence learning new platforms
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work closely with non finance stakeholders across the business
• Comfortable operating at both a strategic level and in the day to day detail

The Opportunity

This is a high impact role in a growing business where you will play a key part in building internal capability, improving systems and supporting continued expansion. You will work closely with leadership and operational teams, gaining strong visibility across the organisation and influencing how the finance function evolves.

If you enjoy environments where no two days are the same and want to step into a role where you can make a genuine impact, we would love to hear from you.
