We're Baresque, an Australian design powerhouse with 50 years of heritage, a global footprint, and a reputation as the A&D industry's go-to creative partner. We're entering our next era — one defined by ambitious growth, innovation, and transformation — and we want a Group Financial Controller who will shape the business, not just report on it.
You'll work alongside with the Leadership team, influence major decisions, and lead the financial and commercial strategy that underpins our expansion in Australia and abroad.

- Financial & Commercial Oversight Manage consolidation of group financials, enforce robust governance, and deliver rigorous financial discipline.
- Strategic Planning & Forecasting Develop group-wide budgeting, scenario planning, and long-term modelling to guide growth.
- Team Leadership & Capability Building Lead a multi-entity finance team, fostering a unified, high-performance culture with a structured succession plan.
- Operational Excellence & Process Automation Standardize and automate reporting, controls, and compliance across the group to enhance efficiency.
- Board & Stakeholder Engagement Deliver accurate, consolidated insights to Executive Leadership Team (ELT), the Board and key stakeholders—translating complexity into clarity.
- Global Financial Management Oversee and integrate financial operations across international entities, ensuring compliance with varied global regulatory requirements and aligning local practices with group-wide standards.
- Strategic Influence in a Design-Led Company Lead across finance functions, closely aligned with group strategy and growth drivers.
- Operational & Systems Excellence Drive best-in-class financial systems and controls across multiple entities, ensuring scalability and consistency.
- Insight-Driven Financial Leadership Provide clarity and foresight through high-impact forecasting, budget management, and consolidated reporting.
