Exciting opportunity for a dynamic and results-driven Financial Controller to lead a high-performing team

Your new company

This pivotal role offers the chance to shape financial strategy, drive operational excellence, and partner closely with senior leadership across the business. This role can be based in either Sydney or Melbourne.

Your new role

As Financial Controller, you will be entrusted with overseeing the full spectrum of financial management across the group. Your core accountabilities will include:

Leading all financial functions including accounting, taxation, audit, payroll, and compliance

Delivering timely, accurate and insightful financial reports to internal and external stakeholders

Preparing annual statutory financial statements in line with ASIC requirements

Managing the group's budgeting process and driving regular re-forecasting

Partnering with department heads to analyse performance and develop action plans

Supporting strategic initiatives to enhance financial health and operational efficiency

Coaching and empowering direct reports to foster a culture of excellence

Representing the group with professionalism and integrity in all external engagements

Be CA or CPA qualified

Have proven experience in a commercial finance environment

Demonstrate strong leadership and business partnering capabilities

Bring industry experience (highly regarded but not essential)

What you'll get in return

You will work closely with an experienced CFO and within an organisation that has a very flat structure. The c-suite are all very approachable people and actively involve the team in projects and strategic initiatives. While they want this person to be hands-on and really get an understanding of the daily workings of the business, they are also keen for someone to play a part in the decision-making process.
