The Role

We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on Finance Manager for an immediate start to oversee our end-to-end financial operations, business performance and transactional reporting.

driving process improvements to streamline multi-platform reporting, inventory tracking, and ledger accuracy.

Month-End & Financial Reporting: Lead the end-to-end month-end and year-end close processes, preparing timely P&L; statements, balance sheet reconciliations, variance analysis, and management reporting packages.

Cash Flow & Budgeting: Develop, monitor, and refine rolling cash flow forecasts, operational budgets, and financial modelling to optimize working capital and support growth initiatives.

Compliance & Governance: Ensure compliance with ATO regulations (BAS, IAS, GST, FBT), statutory reporting requirements, and corporate governance standards.

Commercial Support & Stakeholder Management: Partner with cross-functional managers (Sales, Supply Chain, Operations) to analyse product margins, track vendor performance and drive cost-efficiency strategies.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

Immediate Availability: You must be available to start working immediately (no standard notice period).

Relevant Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce. CPA/CA qualified or equivalent practical experience.

FMCG / Inventory Background: Strong understanding of consumer goods, inventory accounting, margin analysis, and high-volume wholesale/retail distribution environments.

Software Proficiency: Proven, practical expertise operating within dual-software environments, specifically Xero and Reckon , alongside advanced Excel skills
