At Peak Management and Consulting, we partner with registered training organisations (RTOs) across Australia to deliver tailored management, compliance, and shared services that simplify operations and drive success.

- Ensure compliance with all tax, BAS, payroll tax and statutory obligations
- Identify inefficiencies, implement automation tools and enhance financial controls and operations using technology where appropriate to our growth
- Engage with non-finance teams to streamline financial processes, support cash management and provide other financial insights
- Contribute to building a high-performance finance function that is proactive and value-adding to the overall business

Essential skills and experience

- A degree in Finance, Accounting or related discipline (CA or CPA)
- Strong experience in financial reporting, reconciliations and analysis
- Familiarity with financial systems like NetSuite or Employment Hero
