The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Financial Controller to join a profitable, PE-backed organisation at a significant point in its growth journey.
With ambitious plans to scale over the next three to five years through organic growth, new locations, strategic partnerships and potential acquisitions, the business is investing heavily in its people, systems and processes.
Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take complete ownership of the financial control function, leading a small team and creating a strong, scalable finance platform for the next phase of growth.
This is not a steady-state Financial Controller role.
You will be given the autonomy to improve processes, strengthen controls, optimise systems and genuinely put your fingerprints across the finance function.
What You'll Do
Own the month-end close, financial reporting and balance sheet integrity
Lead statutory reporting and the external audit process end-to-end
Maintain a strong financial control, governance and compliance environment
Lead, mentor and develop a small finance team
Drive improvements across processes, controls, reporting and automation
Optimise recently implemented finance systems and improve reporting capability
Partner closely with the CFO and FP&A; function on business performance
Provide high-quality financial information and insights to senior leadership




Gain exposure to the Board and private equity investors
Support future growth initiatives, including potential acquisitions and integrations
Build scalable finance processes capable of supporting a materially larger business
What We're Looking For
CA or CPA qualification
Big 4 trained with local Financial Control experience
Demonstrated experience operating at Financial Controller level
End-to-end ownership of month-end, statutory reporting and audit
Strong knowledge of Australian financial reporting, controls and compliance
Proven people leadership and team development experience
A track record of improving finance processes, systems and controls
Exposure to high-growth, PE-backed, acquisitive or transformation environments advantageous
Solid commercial understanding with the ability to partner effectively with FP&A;
Proactive, hands-on, and love a challenge
Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging senior stakeholders
Why You'll Love It
This is a rare opportunity to join a business where the Financial Controller will have a genuine influence on what the finance function becomes.
You'll work closely with an experienced CFO, gain direct exposure to senior leadership, the Board and private equity investors, and have the opportunity to support a significant growth journey over the coming years.
