ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
My client is a multi-generation Australian family business is looking for a Finance Manager to own its finance function.
The business designs, imports and distributes clothing products - operating across wholesale, multi-site retail, concession, and a growing e-commerce channel.
This is a genuine opportunity to come in, establish a clean baseline, and become a trusted long-term partner to a close-knit leadership team.
The office is small - eight people in head office.
The culture is warm, unpretentious, and relationship-driven.
They're not looking for a corporate operator.
They're looking for someone who is technically sharp and equally can work within a family business dynamic.
WHY THIS ROLE IS WORTH CONSIDERING
$110,000 – $130,000 + superannuation
Own private office
Parking on site
Friday work from home – four days in the office, Monday to Thursday
Broad, varied scope – wholesale, retail, importing, FX, multi-channel, NZ entity
Small team of 8 in head office - you're a genuine part of the business, not a number
Standalone role with full ownership of the finance function
Established brand with near a century of heritage and a strong national retail presence
ABOUT THE ROLE
Reporting to the co-directors, you'll manage the full finance function across a multi-entity, multi-channel importing business.
There are no direct reports.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
Cin7 Core to Xero reconciliation
Weekly debtor finance reporting and upload to the invoice funding facility
Local and overseas creditor management and payment runs




BAS preparation and lodgement
Payroll reconciliation and wages-related accounts
Monthly accruals, prepayments, and month-end close
Periodic responsibilities include:
Year-end preparation – journals, supporting schedules, and financial statements (AU and NZ)
NZ entity management
Inventory and landed cost accounting
FX contract management
Agent commissions and store rent reconciliation
Liaison with external accountants at year-end
You'll work closely with the operations lead on goods receipting and with the co-directors on financial performance.
The role sits at the centre of the business - connecting operations, leadership, and external compliance.
WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
Experience with an inventory management system in a product-based or wholesale business – Cin7, DEAR, AP21, Unleashed, or similar.
Any platform.
The concept is what counts.
This is a non-negotiable.
Hands-on Xero proficiency – Cin7 feeds directly into Xero and this is where the business is managed from.
Background in wholesale, retail, or importing – solid understanding of COGS, landed costs, and multi-channel operations.
Exposure to debtor or invoice finance facilities.
Small business or family business background - you've worked in a close-knit workplace, you understand the pace and the culture, and you thrive in it.
Strong communicator - you can translate numbers into plain language for a non-financial audience.
CA or CPA qualified - commercial experience and systems capability are equally as important.
