Our client is a Brisbane based technology business with a genuinely national footprint. Its software supports the day to day operations of businesses across the country, built on decades of engineering pedigree and a reliable ownership structure that gives it room to invest for the long term. The leadership team is done moving slowly. New systems, a rebuilt financial model and a real appetite for people who challenge the numbers rather than simply report them.

The Role

This is a newly created role, built to give the Head of Finance and the CFO their time back. Right now they are carrying the budget and the long-term model themselves, and it is time to hand it to someone who can own it properly.

You will own the budget, the monthly re-forecast and a ten year scenario model, already built and due for more granularity as the business sharpens its understanding of its own cost drivers. Reporting to the Head of Finance and working closely with the CFO and other C Suite key business stakeholders, this is a forward looking seat with real decision making impact.

Duties will include, but not be limited to:

- Owning and maintaining the annual budget process, working directly with department heads across the business
- Leading a genuine monthly re-forecast cycle, refining the accuracy of assumptions as new information lands
- Extending and refining an existing ten year scenario model, adding granularity on cost to serve and R&D; investment
- Business partnering across the organisation's technical and delivery teams, not just the finance function
- Building dashboards and reporting tools that give leaders real visibility over performance and risk
- Translating financial data into commentary that non-finance stakeholders can actually act on
- Working alongside an incoming ERP implementation,



determining what moves into the new system and what stays in Excel
- Challenging assumptions rather than simply accepting them, asking what else moves when one number changes
- Supporting scenario planning and workforce cost modelling as the business plans its next chapter
