This is a genuinely broad and commercially focused role, combining hands-on finance, business operations, systems, HR, governance and executive support.

Working across multiple areas of the business, you'll act as a central point of coordination between senior leadership and operational teams. You'll be trusted to bring structure, improve processes, provide commercial insight and ensure the business has the systems and financial information required to continue growing.

If you're someone who likes being across the detail but can also see the bigger picture, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact within an established and growing business.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Management: Own AP, AR, payroll, reconciliations, month-end, management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash flow.
• Commercial Finance: Provide financial analysis, project and funds management support, lender reporting and commercial insights to the Executive and Board.
• Operations & Systems: Oversee business operations, suppliers and technology systems, driving process improvements, automation and operational efficiency.
• Governance, HR & Compliance: Manage corporate governance, policies, compliance, recruitment, onboarding, HR administration and employee development processes.
• Executive & Business Support: Provide high-level support to the Executive and Chairman, coordinate Board reporting and meetings, and lead cross-functional projects and business initiatives.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience across finance, business operations and corporate services
• Strong hands-on accounting experience across month-end, reconciliations, payroll, AP/AR and reporting
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
• Experience managing multiple functions and competing priorities
• Advanced Xero and Microsoft 365 capability

Why You'll Love It Here

• Impact: Work directly with senior leadership and have genuine influence over the way the business operates.
• Variety: No two days are the same, with exposure across finance, operations, HR, systems and commercial projects.
• Autonomy: Take ownership of your function and have the freedom to identify problems and implement solutions.
• Commercial Exposure: Work across property, asset management, transactions, advisory and funds management.
• Growth: Be part of an independently owned commercial property business with an established market presence and continued growth ambitions.

The Details

• Role: Business Operations & Finance Manager
• Role Type: Full-time, permanent
• Salary: Up to $120,000 package
