Job description

Financial Controller

- Based in Brisbane CBD
- $160,000 - $180,000 incl. super
- Privately Owned Property Group

A role with real influence. Real ownership. Real impact.

Charterhouse are partnering with a privately owned, long-established property development and investment group who have a track record in delivering large-scale residential communities across Queensland.

With more than 40 entities operating across trusts and group structures, this is a sophisticated, multi-entity environment where treasury, structure and commercial decision-making genuinely matter.

This is not a "sit back and report" Financial Controller role.
This is a hands-on leadership position, reporting directly to the CEO, where you'll influence decisions, manage complexity, and own the financial heartbeat of the business.

If you enjoy working closely with business owners, moving real money across real structures, and being trusted to run the finance function properly - this is the kind of role you apply for.

The Role

Reporting to the CEO, you will:

- Lead and develop a finance team of 3 within an 18-person office
- Manage treasury and cash flow across 40+ entities and multiple bank accounts
- Oversee significant inter-entity transfers
- Drive budgeting, forecasting and executive reporting
- Review BAS, IAS, FBT and statutory compliance
- Manage banking relationships and funding requirements
- Maintain financial controls across a complex group structure




- Improve processes and reporting within Xero

This is a review-heavy role - but you'll still be hands-on. The team are strong operators. You'll guide, review and support them, while staying close enough to the detail to maintain control.

What Makes This Role Different

- Direct access to the CEO
- Genuine commercial involvement
- Complex group structure exposure
- High-trust environment
- Stable, privately owned business
- No red tape, no corporate layers

You'll be embedded in the business, not sitting behind layers of hierarchy.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

- Has worked in a privately owned business dealing directly with owners
- Understands multi-entity and family trust structures
- Has strong treasury and cash movement experience
- Is confident managing multiple bank accounts and intercompany transactions
- Has hands-on experience with Xero
- Is practical, commercially minded and detail-focused

Qualifications are not the priority. Capability, judgement and cultural fit are.

The Package

- $160,000 - $180,000 inclusive of super
- Office-based role (this is an in-person leadership position)
- Long-term chance in a stable, growing business

If you're a Financial Controller who enjoys complexity, autonomy and working in a business where your input genuinely matters - this is the role you've been waiting for.
