THE OPPORTUNITY
Highbury has been exclusively engaged by a PE-backed consumer products client to find its next Financial Controller in Sydney.

- Coordinate tax compliance and reporting across BAS/GST, payroll tax and income tax, working with external advisers as required
- Take ownership of payroll, ensuring accuracy, compliance and strong controls
- Drive finance transformation across ERP, automation, reporting and financial controls

- Support audit, lender and covenant reporting, and prepare board and investor packs
REQUIREMENTS
