What your day will look like:

  • Lead financial business partnering services, providing expert advice, analysis, and modelling to support informed decision-making across Council.
  • Develop, manage, and monitor major operational expenditure budgets, including salaries, fleet, and other key cost areas.
  • Coordinate inputs and analysis for the annual budget, long-term financial plan, and forward works programs.
  • Oversee financial systems, data integrity, and reporting tools, ensuring accurate information for planning and decision-making.
  • Prepare and deliver variance reports, presentations, and other documentation for leadership and Councillor budget sessions.
  • Provide financial guidance to business areas, including project setup, reporting, and resolution of ledger or system issues.

  • A high level of computer literacy and keyboard skills, with an emphasis on software system databases, data extraction, spreadsheets and work processes.
  • Highly developed interpretation skills and knowledge of legislation, legal processes, Australian Accounting Standards and Auditing Standards.
