Roomstay (SaaS) and Dijitally (agency) operate across Australia, the UK, and Ireland with multi-entity, multi-currency finance operations. We are hiring a hands‑on Finance Manager to take full ownership of the finance function across both businesses.

This role is suited to a commercially minded accountant who can run finance operations end‑to‑end, improve structure, and provide clear financial insight to leadership. This is not a traditional finance role focused only on reporting — this role is responsible for bringing control, structure, and visibility to the entire finance function.

Core Responsibilities

1. End‑to‑End Finance Ownership

- Take full ownership of finance operations across both businesses
- Manage invoicing across multiple entities
- Conduct bank and card reconciliations
- Oversee accounts receivable and collections
- Process supplier payments and payment runs
- Maintain accurate, clean, and up‑to‑date records in Xero
- Handle multi‑entity and multi‑currency transactions (including FX platforms such as Airwallex or equivalent)

2. Payroll & Compliance

- Oversee payroll for an international team
- Ensure compliance with BAS / GST / PAYG obligations
- Ensure payroll and statutory requirements
- Coordinate with external accountants for filings and statutory reporting

3. Monthly Reporting (Decision‑Focused)

- Produce management reporting pack including revenue by entity and key drivers
- Calculate and report gross margin (particularly for agency delivery)
- Report operating costs and profitability
- Show cash position and movement
- Ensure reporting is clear, structured, and decision‑ready (not just accounting outputs)

4. Cashflow & Forecasting

- Build and maintain rolling cashflow forecasts
- Provide visibility on expected inflows and outflows
- Highlight cash risks and constraints
- Forecast working capital requirements

5. Commercial Finance & Insight

- Act as a finance partner to the founder
- Identify client / project profitability




- Track SaaS revenue performance
- Highlight margin leakage and cost inefficiencies
- Provide proactive insight, not just reporting

6. Process & Control

- Design and implement structured finance processes across both businesses
- Improve efficiency and reduce manual work
- Ensure consistency across multi‑entity accounting and intercompany transactions
- Introduce clear ownership and accountability across finance activities

Finance Ownership & Operating Model

- Take full ownership of invoicing, payroll, and financial operations end‑to‑end
- Remove reliance on founder involvement in day‑to‑day finance processes
- Replace meeting‑driven workflows with structured, system‑led processes
- Establish clear ownership between account management and finance teams
- Ensure invoicing, collections, and payroll operate consistently without manual coordination
- Identify inefficiencies and redesign workflows to improve speed, accuracy, and control

Cross‑Team Workflow Ownership

- Own the interface between account management and finance
- Ensure revenue inputs from delivery teams are accurate, timely, and structured
- Remove reliance on meetings to validate invoicing inputs
- Implement clear, repeatable workflows for billing and revenue recognition

Skills and Experience

- Qualified accountant (CA / ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
- 5+ years’ experience in Finance Manager / Financial Controller role
- Strong experience with Xero
- Experience working across multi‑entity structures and multi‑currency environments
- Hands‑on mindset (comfortable executing as well as overseeing)
- Solid Excel / Google Sheets capability

Highly Desirable

- Experience in agency / services businesses
- Experience in SaaS or subscription‑based revenue models
- Experience managing offshore or outsourced finance support
- Familiarity with Airwallex, Wise, or FX platforms

Working Setup

This is a part‑time role, working 2‑3 days per week in a fully remote environment, reporting to the founder.
