<p><strong>Why you should apply</strong></p><p>You're an experienced Financial Controller, but you want to play a bigger role in the growth of a business.</p><p>This is a newly created position within a approx. $350m Australian business growing at 15-20% year-on-year, with significant expansion plans across Australia.</p><p>The foundations are strong, the business is growing quickly, and there is still plenty to build.</p><p>You'll lead an experienced finance team of seven. They know the business well, and your role will be to provide leadership, mentorship and development while also being prepared to get into the detail yourself when required.</p><p>Leadership is important here, but so is humility.</p><p>You're not being brought in to arrive on Monday and change everything by Friday. Your priority will be to learn the business, understand the team, build relationships and work out what really matters before deciding where you can make the biggest difference.</p><p>You'll take ownership of financial control, reporting, governance, compliance and the quality of the numbers, but the role goes well beyond that.</p><p>You'll work closely with an excellent Head of Finance who genuinely wants to leverage your experience and knowledge. They're looking for someone who can become a trusted adviser and sounding board, and someone they can challenge thinking with, bounce ideas off and rely on as the business continues to grow.</p><p>Over time, you'll also gain exposure to the strategic side of that growth, including expansion activity, due diligence and acquisitions as opportunities arise.</p><p>The business places a huge emphasis on culture. It's collaborative, down-to-earth and one where leadership sets the standard from the top down.</p><p><strong>What you'll deliver</strong></p><p>This is a pivotal point in their growth, and the quality of the finance function will be important to what comes next.</p><p>As well as leading Finance and managing the team, you'll contribute across governance, ESG, business continuity planning and broader business resilience.</p><p>You'll:</p><ul><li>Own financial control, accounting, reporting and compliance across the business.</li><li>Ensure financial information is accurate, timely and robust.</li><li>Strengthen governance, controls, risk management and financial processes.</li><li>Lead the external audit and statutory reporting requirements.</li><li>Oversee Australian tax compliance and regulatory obligations.</li><li>Maintain strong balance sheet, working capital and inventory controls.</li><li>Partner with senior leaders to improve financial performance and decision-making.</li><li>Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems, automation and reporting.</li><li>Support ESG reporting and governance.</li><li>Contribute to business continuity planning and broader business resilience.</li><li>Work closely with the Head of Finance as a trusted adviser and sounding board.</li><li>Support the business as it expands across Australia.</li><li>Lead, mentor and develop a finance team of seven.</li></ul><p><strong>Who you are</strong></p><p>This is a technically strong Financial Controller role.</p><p>You'll be CA qualified, or a CPA with the appropriate skills and experience, and will have built your career in technically strong accounting environments.</p><p>A Big 4 audit background before moving into industry would be highly regarded.</p><p>You'll have strong technical accounting and financial reporting capability, with a good understanding of governance, risk, controls, audit and regulatory requirements.</p><p>But technical ability is only part of it.</p><p>You'll be curious, hands-on and humble. You won't walk through the door assuming you know more than everyone else. You'll listen first, understand the business and the people around you, and then work out where you can make the biggest difference.</p><p>You'll also be proactive, and if you see something that needs fixing, you'll do something about it.</p><p>You'll bring:</p><ul><li>CA / CPA qualification.</li><li>Strong technical accounting and financial reporting experience.</li><li>Financial Controller, Senior Finance Manager or similar experience.</li><li>Strong audit and statutory reporting experience.</li><li>A solid understanding of governance, risk, controls and regulatory requirements.</li><li>Experience leading and developing a finance team.</li><li>Australian tax compliance experience.</li><li>Strong balance sheet, working capital and inventory understanding.</li><li>The ability to understand complex financial information and explain it simply.</li><li>Confidence working with senior stakeholders.</li><li>A genuine interest in how the business operates, not just how the numbers look.</li><li>Strong systems, process improvement and automation capability.</li><li>ESG, business continuity or broader risk/resilience experience would be advantageous.</li></ul><p><strong>Interview process:</strong></p><p>This is a two-stage process running w/c 12th October with a view to offer by 16th October.</p><p><strong>Apply Today</strong></p><p>Submit your CV directly via email to Stewart Selwood on [email protected] or by pressing the Apply button.</p><p><em>By clicking 'apply', you give your express consent that Robert Half may use your personal information to process your job application and to contact you from time to time for future employment opportunities.
