Financial Controller
 
WHAT’S ON OFFER

• Competitive negotiable salary of $110,000-$120,000 + super
• Opportunity to step up into a Financial Controller position
• Direct reporting to the Group CFO
• Ownership and autonomy of the local finance function
• Exposure to senior leadership and commercial decision making

• Strong career development for someone with ambitions of becoming a CFO

ABOUT THE ROLE
  
Reporting directly to the Group CFO based in Melbourne, you’ll take responsibility for all financial reporting responsibilities locally in Brisbane.
  
This is a hands on role offering genuine autonomy. You’ll be trusted to work independently, take ownership of the numbers and become the key finance contact for the local business, while still having direct access to an experienced CFO.
  
Your responsibilities will include:

• Ownership of month-end and financial reporting
• Management reporting, budgeting and forecasting
• Cash flow management and financial planning
• Maintaining financial controls and compliance
• Providing analysis and commercial insights to management
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and reporting
• Partnering with the Group CFO on broader finance initiatives

As the company grows, there is significant opportunity for the scope and influence of this position to grow with it.
  
ABOUT YOU
  
You’ve built the foundations and now you’re looking for the next step in your career.
  
You aren’t necessarily someone who has spent years as a Financial Controller but you are someone who is capable of becoming one.
  
You could currently be a Senior Accountant, Finance Manager, Assistant Financial Controller or recently appointed Financial Controller who is ready for more ownership, exposure and responsibility.
  
You’re technically strong, commercially minded and confident working independently. You want to understand the broader business, influence decisions and build the experience required to progress into senior finance leadership. Most importantly, you’re ambitious.
  
You’ll bring:

• CPA or CA qualification
• Strong commercial accounting experience
• Solid financial and management reporting capability
• Experience across budgeting, forecasting and month-end
• Ability to operate independently and take ownership
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Commercial curiosity and a willingness to look beyond the numbers
• Initiative, organisation and attention to detail
• A genuine ambition to progress towards CFO level responsibility

THE COMPANY
  
This is a medium sized business that has recently entered an exciting new growth phase.
  
The size of the organisation is part of what makes this opportunity attractive to the right candidate. Rather than becoming another number within a large finance department, you’ll have visibility across the business, direct access to senior leadership and the ability to make a tangible impact.
  
For an ambitious finance professional, this is an opportunity to join early, grow alongside the business and build the commercial, operational and leadership exposure that can eventually lead towards a CFO position of your own.
  
If you’re ready to start owning a finance function, apply now.
