"Shape Strategic Growth: Finance Business Partner Opportunity"

Aequalis Consulting is seeking a highly skilled and strategic Finance Business Partner on behalf of a leading organisation in Melbourne. This is a unique opportunity for an accomplished finance professional to step into a pivotal role, working closely with the CFO and senior leaders across various lines of business to drive financial excellence and strategic growth.

The Finance Business Partner will play a critical role in providing financial insights, shaping business strategies, and supporting decision-making processes that have a real impact on the organisation’s future. This role is ideal for someone who is not just looking for a job, but for an opportunity to make a difference in a dynamic and essential industry.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Partner closely with the CFO and senior business leaders to develop and implement financial strategies that support the organisation’s goals.

  • Provide detailed financial analysis, forecasting, and reporting to guide strategic decision-making across various lines of business.

  • Collaborate with department heads to understand their financial needs, challenges, and opportunities, offering tailored financial advice and solutions.

  • Drive the budgeting and financial planning processes, ensuring alignment with the organization’s strategic objectives.

  • Monitor financial performance, identify trends, and provide actionable insights to improve financial outcomes.

  • Support the CFO in preparing presentations and reports for the executive team and board, translating complex financial data into clear, actionable information.

  • Lead initiatives to improve financial processes, systems, and reporting capabilities, enhancing overall efficiency and effectiveness.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the business, fostering a culture of financial accountability and transparency.

  • Contribute to the development and execution of key projects that will shape the future direction of the organisation

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a Finance Business Partner, Financial Analyst, or similar role, ideally within a large, complex organization.

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect financial insights to business strategy.

  • Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to interpret and communicate complex financial data to non-financial stakeholders.

  • Advanced proficiency in financial modeling, forecasting, and reporting tools.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships at all levels of the organization.

  • Experience in a complex or highly regulated sector is a plus, but not essential; a passion for making an impact in a critical industry is key.

  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a focus on continuous improvement.

  • CPA, CA, or equivalent financial qualification is preferred.

What’s Offered:

  • The opportunity to work closely with the CFO and senior leaders in a leading organization, influencing key decisions and driving financial strategy.

  • A role with significant impact and visibility, where your expertise will help shape the future direction of the company.

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • A supportive and collaborative work environment, focused on professional growth and development.

  • The chance to make a meaningful contribution to a critical and impactful sector.

Aequalis Consulting invites talented finance professionals who are ready to take the next step in their career to apply for this Finance Business Partner role. If you’re looking for an opportunity to work closely with top leadership and drive strategic financial initiatives in a leading organisation, we want to hear from you.
