Your new company

An established and commercially focused organisation in Geelong is seeking an experienced finance professional to join its team. With significant operational activity and ongoing investment, this organisation offers an excellent opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders and contribute to commercial decision-making across the business.

Your new role

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will take ownership of planning, forecasting and management reporting while partnering with operational stakeholders across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include:

  • Coordinate annual budgets and quarterly forecasts
  • Develop and maintain integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow models

What you'll need to succeed

You will be an experienced commercial finance professional with strong FP&A, management reporting and analytical capability. You will be comfortable working with senior and operational stakeholders and able to translate financial information into clear commercial insights.
Strong Excel and financial modelling skills will be important, along with experience working with reporting or data visualisation tools such as Power BI. A relevant accounting qualification or strong progress towards CA/CPA will be highly regarded.
Most importantly, you will be commercially minded, confident about challenging assumptions and capable of communicating financial information to non-finance stakeholders.

What you'll get in return

You'll receive an hourly rate of up to $65 per hour ($110,000 + superannuation Full Time Equivalent) in an interim temporary capacity with the opportunity to progress to permanent for the right candidate, and the opportunity to join an established Geelong-based organisation in a commercially focused finance role.
