Head of Finance - Global Fintech
Own the finance function with direct exposure to leadership and the BoardBalance financial control with commercial planning, pricing, forecasting and deal-level decision supportBuild the systems and processes for the next stage of growth
Strengthen financial rigour, improve commercial visibility and build a finance function that can scale with the organisation.
About the Role
This is the senior finance role in the business and a trusted advisory position to the leadership team and Board.
You will own both sides of finance: the control and reporting discipline that keeps the group accurate and compliant, and the commercial analysis that supports decisions around investment, pricing, client engagements and growth.
The role is deliberately hands-on.
Supported by a Corporate Accountant, you will oversee the full finance remit while remaining close enough to the detail to step into reconciliations, the general ledger and month-end activity when required.
At the same time, you will improve reporting, strengthen systems and shape how the function develops as the business becomes more complex.
Based in Sydney, the role offers hybrid working with three days per week in the office.
Key Responsibilities
Take full ownership of the finance function and build the capability, controls and operating rhythm needed to support growthDeliver accurate, timely management and Board reporting, including clear analysis of performance against budget and forecastLead group financial control across the general ledger, payments, payroll, reconciliations, cash and bankingOwn annual accounts, statutory reporting, tax obligations,

About You
You are an experienced finance leader who is equally comfortable discussing commercial performance with a Board and working through the detail behind the numbers.
Essential experience includes:
Deep finance leadership experience, ideally within technology, software or skilled servicesDegree qualifications and CA, CPA or equivalent membershipSenior-level exposure to a CEO, executive team or BoardExperience in a mixed revenue business combining subscription or SaaS income with project or services deliveryStrong knowledge of revenue recognition, WIP and margin analysisExperience managing reporting and compliance across multiple jurisdictionsA track record of improving financial systems, controls and processesClear written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn complex information into practical commercial guidanceA genuinely hands-on approach suited to a lean, growing finance team
Experience in financial services, wealth management or advice technology would be valuable, as would exposure to fundraising, M&A;, investor due diligence, finance systems implementations or R&D; tax incentive claims.
This role will suit a finance leader who wants to shape a function rather than inherit one that is already fully formed.
It offers meaningful influence, broad commercial exposure and the chance to build finance capability within a global financial advice technology business.
