The step up. Stop being the senior accountant behind someone else's client relationships, and own them yourself.

About Scale Suite

Scale Suite is on a mission to build the full-stack finance function for growing Australian businesses: daily finance operations, reporting and analysis, and CFO-level strategy, delivered as one embedded team. Finance is the core, and we mould around each client, with complementary HR services and the operational tasks that sit alongside finance. Clients plug us in and get a complete finance function without hiring one.

We are not an accounting practice. No timesheets, no charge-out rates, no partner pyramid. AI is in daily use across the team, deeper automation is around the corner, and an engineering team is coming on board in the near future to build it.

Our clients are doing seriously engaging things. On any given week we might be steadying a SaaS scale-up's cash flow, standing up a consumer brand's US entity, or building the numbers behind a multi-million dollar capital raise. None of that is hypothetical, it is all recent work. And this role exists because the work is already here: new clients land every month and demand is ahead of us.

The founders and directors we work with have almost all been let down before, by people who went quiet when it mattered and never valued their time. What they want is a genuine partner. That is exactly who we are, and it is who you will be.

The role

This seat is a step up, on purpose. If you are the one clients ask for by name while someone above you owns the relationship, this is the move: here, you own the client. You get under the skin of each business model,



become someone founders trust and deal with directly, and keep our standards high as we grow.

You are not thrown in alone: dedicated compliance and tax capability sits beside you, and you work directly with the founder. Expect your first few months to be onboarding-heavy, and for the right person this seat grows into our Client Finance Manager title quickly.

What you'll do

- Be the senior finance person our clients deal with directly. On the phone, across their questions, keeping things moving.
- Onboard new clients. Bring their whole finance operation across into how we work, whatever systems they are on, and get it humming from day one. This is where precision matters most.
- Own quality across each client's finance engine: payroll, payment runs, payables, super, and the BAS and IAS cycle, run by our analyst team and lodged on time under your review.
- Make the accounting treatment calls. GST on tricky transactions, revenue recognition, accruals and intercompany: the grey areas where clients need a clear answer.
- Design and reshape finance operations. Better flows, fixed processes, hands-on and in the detail.
- Get real exposure to the big moments: cash flow strategy, budgets, capital raises and overseas expansion, the work most seniors wait a decade to touch.

Who we're after





- An all-rounder, not a specialist. You can move between cash flow, payroll, a BAS, a budget and a client's finance flow without missing a beat.
- CA or CPA, qualified or in your final stages. A BAS or tax agent registration is a plus, not a must.
- Happy in the weeds. We are not after managers who always want to float above the work.

- Solid across Australian compliance: BAS, IAS, GST, PAYG, STP and super, and comfortable across companies, trusts and the usual SME structures.
- Fluent in Xero and systems-minded. You will hit the odd system no one here has touched before, and we embrace that.
- You use AI as a matter of course. You have real agency, you are direct and humble at once, and you have zero time for office politics.

A solid technical foundation matters. Years on the clock do not. The only thing we really care about is competence, paired with judgement and a great attitude.

What this isn't

Not a timesheet factory. Not a narrow seat where you do one thing all day.

The offer

- Above market pay, and we will beat your current package for the right person.
- Remote first, with some in-office time fortnightly. Open to four days.
- Work directly with the founder, and with the founders and CEOs of the businesses we serve, every day.
- A fast, explicit path to the Client Finance Manager seat as your book grows.
- Profit share once you have earnt your stripes. Registered tax agents come onto the scheme automatically.
- Real responsibility and autonomy early, a flat structure where good ideas win, and growth that is real and fast.
