As a senior member of the finance team, you will provide technical guidance, support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to the ongoing development of a scalable and high-performing finance function.
This is an excellent opportunity for a capable finance professional to join a growing organisation at an exciting stage of its journey, offering broad exposure across financial control, business partnering, systems improvement and strategic finance initiatives.

• Partner with commercial and operational stakeholders to improve reporting, financial insights and decision-making
• Support ERP optimisation, automation and broader finance transformation projects
• Ensure compliance with Australian Accounting Standards, taxation obligations and governance requirements
• Mentor and support junior finance team members while promoting continuous improvement across the function
About You
To be successful in this role, you will be a technically strong and commercially minded finance professional who enjoys operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You will be highly organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership while building strong relationships across the business.
You will have:
• CA or CPA qualification

• Demonstrated experience managing month-end reporting, statutory reporting and external audit processes
• Strong knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards and financial controls
