About the Company
Quinn Allan is proud to partner with a privately owned group of entrepreneurial businesses operating across agriculture, agribusiness services and manufacturing. With combined annual revenue of approximately $30 million to $35 million and operations across Victoria and interstate, the group comprises four complementary businesses, each operating at a different stage of maturity and growth.
The group fosters a collaborative, relationship-driven culture where employees work closely with owners, directors and senior leaders. Significant investment is underway across process improvement, technology, automation and AI-enabled capabilities, creating an opportunity for finance to play an important role in the group’s continued development.
About the Position
Reporting to the Group CFO, the Finance & Compliance Manager is a newly created position responsible for strengthening financial governance, technical capability and compliance across the portfolio.
Initially focused on financial accounting, statutory reporting and compliance, the role will take ownership of month-end review, financial statement preparation, technical accounting, Australian tax obligations, FBT, R&D Tax Incentive activities and corporate compliance. You will work closely with internal finance personnel and external advisers while progressively bringing selected activities in-house.
The position will also contribute to improving reporting, controls, systems and finance processes. Over time, the role will broaden into budgeting, forecasting, management reporting and commercial support, making this an ideal opportunity for a technically strong professional seeking genuine influence within a growing private group.
The role is offered on a permanent part-time basis, averaging three days per week, although this may fluctuate depending on month-end, quarter-end, year-end and compliance cycles. Working arrangements are flexible and can largely be performed remotely, with regular connection to stakeholders in Ballarat and Geelong.
Duties
You will be an autonomous and commercially minded accounting professional who combines strong technical expertise with the ability to build trusted relationships. You will enjoy working across multiple entities and industries and be comfortable operating in a close-knit, privately owned business environment.
You will likely bring experience from a Big Four or mid-tier accounting firm, particularly across business advisory, financial reporting or a similar practice environment. Candidates from technically focused commercial roles will also be considered.
