Description

Nexl is the fast-growing LegalTech startup on a mission to elevate the business of law.

Our platform, purpose-built for law firms, brings together CRM, collaboration, and client intelligence in one solution — empowering lawyers, marketers, and BD teams to deepen relationships, accelerate growth, and win more high-value work.

We’re backed by top global VCs, recognised as one of Australia’s fastest-growing tech companies, and expanding rapidly across Australia, the US, LATAM, and Europe. And we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for a Financial Controller to join our Business Team and take ownership of financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, compliance and controls, as well as tax and audit readiness. Reporting to the VP Strategy & Operations, this will be the most senior finance role in the business.

This role goes beyond compliance and budgets. It’s about building confidence with the leadership team and Board in Nexl’s finances, controls, and strategic direction. Finance is a core driver of the business, not just a back-office function. We’re looking for someone with an ownership mentality who has scaled a finance function before from Series A and beyond.

This role will have Board exposure.



You will have the opportunity to build a team. We are looking for an A-player and bar raiser.
Requirements

You’re a hands-on Financial Controller who lives and breathes the detail and can take ownership of the finance function. You’ll be CA/CPA qualified with 5+ years experience, ideally in high growth or software settings. The ideal candidate has been a Financial Controller before and has taken a business to scale and wants to do it again.

​What We're Looking For:
Proven Financial Controller experience with fast-scaling B2B SaaS companies in Australia.
In-depth knowledge of revenue recognition and cost recognition based on the appropriate accounting standards.
Experience with subscription billing processes and systems and internal controls framework.
Executive presence and communication skills.
Highly organized, and attention to detail, with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and delve deep into processes and systems.
Proven analytical and creative problem-solving skills, with the capacity to identify issues and implement solutions proactively.
Ability to thrive in a energetic workplace, with the ability to manage multiple tasks, priorities and deadlines.
