Finance Transformation Manager [AI First]
Gasworks Precinct | 4 days onsite
Some finance leaders want a well-oiled machine.
Others want to build one.
This is the second job.
We're partnering with one of Brisbane's fastest-growing businesses, having hired more than 200 people in the past 18 months.
The business is backed by a highly respected Brisbane family with deep accounting and commercial roots. Traditional finance discipline matters here. So does building what finance needs to look like next.
Reporting to an exceptional CFO, you'll lead a team of six and take ownership of a broad Financial Controller-style remit, with a genuine mandate to transform how finance operates as the business scales.
What you'll own
Financial control, month-end reporting, compliance and audit
AP, AR, payroll, collections and core accounting operations
Cash flow, treasury, budgeting and Board reporting
Internal controls, balance sheet integrity and audit readiness
Development of a capable, commercially minded finance team
The finance transformation roadmap across systems, automation, AI and data
The transformation work. This is where the role gets interesting.
You'll lead major initiatives including:
Rebuilding collections into a modern, best-practice function
Reviewing debt facilities and treasury arrangements
Exploring reverse factoring, supplier finance and other commercial funding opportunities
Modernising finance systems, reporting and workflows
Introducing automation and AI Agents across finance
Reducing manual work while improving accuracy, speed and control
Moving the team from transaction processing toward analysis,



insight and business partnership
The remit is not theoretical. Real projects are waiting, robust executive support and plenty of room to shape the roadmap.
What you'll bring
CA or CPA qualification
Strong Financial Controller, Head of Finance or senior finance leadership experience
Deep financial control and technical accounting capability
Experience improving systems, processes and team performance
Commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge constructively
Genuine curiosity around AI, automation and the future of finance
You don't need to arrive as an AI expert.
You do need to be excited by learning how to run and manage your own AI Agents, and by helping your team use technology to become faster, sharper and more valuable.
Why this role?
Because in three years, you should not still be doing the same job.
The founding family, Board, CEO and CFO are extraordinary operators. The exposure, mentorship and growth available here will materially strengthen your profile in Brisbane.
There is real potential for broader responsibility and promotion over the next two to three years, but it will suit someone who wants challenge, pace and visible impact.
This is not a maintenance role.
It's a career accelerator.
Package:
$200,000–$220,000 + super, plus a $20,000 STI paid half-yearly.
Location:
Gasworks Precinct, four days onsite. One day WFH.
