Role Overview

Delton Marine is seeking a resilient, highly organized, and hands-on Senior Finance Executive to take full ownership of our financial operations. We are currently in a transition phase and require a leader who can "start from scratch"—untangling existing accounts, implementing robust systems, and providing clear mentorship to our current accounts staff.

You will be the architect of our financial future, moving the company from a reactive state to a proactive, data-driven organization.

• Establish "checks and balances" to ensure financial integrity and prevent future errors.
• Develop a detailed costing model to track labour, parts, and overhead.
• Provide regular reports on project profitability to identify areas of waste or opportunity.[CP1]
• Create and maintain rolling cash flow forecasts to ensure operational liquidity.
• Lead the annual budgeting process and perform monthly variance analysis (Actual vs. Budget).
• Act as a key advisor to leadership, providing financial insights that guide business growth.
• Act as the direct lead for our current accounts staff, providing daily guidance, training, and professional oversight.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 5+ years in a senior accounting or finance role. Experience in Marine, Construction, or Engineering is highly valued.
• Proven track record of cleaning up disorganized accounts or setting up a finance department from zero.
• Expert proficiency in accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, or ERPs) and advanced Excel.
• Degree in Finance/Accounting. Professional certification (CPA, ACCA, CA, or equivalent) is preferred.
• Ability to explain complex financial data to non-finance stakeholders clearly.
