We're looking for a Finance Manager with Payroll experience to join The INS Group.
Ideally someone who knows their way around a balance sheet, can spot a reconciliation issue from a mile away, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves when payroll is due.
This is a hands-on finance leadership role where you'll oversee the day-to-day financial operations of the organisation while working closely with senior management.
What we're really looking for is someone with the technical foundation, initiative and leadership potential to take ownership of our finance function and develop alongside the business.
About the Role
You'll take the lead across our finance and accounts functions, overseeing financial accounts, payroll, reporting and compliance.
You'll work closely with the Managing Director and Operations Manager, providing the financial information and insight they need to make informed business decisions.
You'll also guide and support the Accounts team, ensuring the day-to-day finance function runs smoothly and accurately.
It's a role with plenty of variety — one day you're reviewing budgets and cash flow, the next you're overseeing payroll, reconciling accounts, preparing BAS/GST reporting or working with external accountants and auditors.
What You'll Be Doing
Oversee the organisation's financial accounts and payroll functions
Prepare budgets, forecasts and management reports
Provide regular financial reporting and analysis to senior management
Monitor cash flow and budget performance
Manage accounts payable and receivable
Oversee payroll, PAYG, STP and employee entitlement processes
Prepare and coordinate BAS, GST and IAS reporting
Manage reconciliations, accruals, assets and depreciation schedules




Coordinate annual financial statements and audit requirements
Manage financial compliance across relevant ATO, ASIC and state requirements
Oversee insurance registers, renewals and claims
Support funding reconciliations, acquittals and reporting
Oversee the day-to-day operations of the Accounts team
Work closely with HR on payroll, awards and employee entitlement matters
You'll Thrive If You:
Have a degree or formal tertiary qualification in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
Are currently studying towards, or interested in pursuing, CPA or CA
Have strong experience across accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll and bookkeeping
Have excellent knowledge of financial reporting and reconciliation principles
Have strong knowledge of Australian accounting, taxation and compliance requirements
Are highly confident with accounting and payroll systems such as QuickBooks, Xero and Employment Hero
Have strong STP, payroll and reporting knowledge
Can work independently, prioritise competing deadlines and take ownership
Are commercially minded and able to turn financial information into practical advice
Communicate confidently with senior management, staff, external consultants and auditors
Are solutions-focused, adaptable and comfortable working across a busy organisation




Leadership experience is highly regarded.
The Chance
This is a senior role with genuine ownership and influence over financial processes.
This isn't a role where we're expecting you to walk in knowing everything on day one.
We understand that you may be early in your career.
We'll provide the opportunity to develop your practical experience across accounting, payroll, reporting, compliance and financial management while working alongside an experienced team of consultants.
In return, we want someone who is hungry to learn, willing to take responsibility and excited about growing into the role.
