- Build the finance function your way, in a business that's scaling fast and about to get bigger

About the business

This is a privately owned, Melbourne-based construction and property development group with multiple entities under common ownership, currently scaling through an active acquisition that will bring the group to 10 entities. The business is owner-led and moving quickly, with a small, close-knit team and a genuinely flat, hands-on culture.

About the role

This is a newly created role where you get to bring your strong construction or property development experience and grow with the business.

Reporting directly to the owner and working closely alongside the General Manager, you'll be the finance expert at the centre of the business. This isn't a back-office reporting role. You'll be hands-on across:

- Managing accounts across multiple related entities, including intercompany transactions and loans
- Preparing monthly reports, cash flow forecasts, budgets and decision-ready information for the owner
- Working alongside external advisers to structure transactions properly and reduce tax lawfully
- Monitoring construction job costs, development budgets, project funding, property loans and profitability




- Involved end-to-end in building projects, from purchase and funding through to costing, lending, contracts and sale
- Using AI and automation to improve reporting, streamline admin and lift efficiency

About you

- Australian accounting and finance degree, CA or CPA qualified
- Background in construction, property development, building supplies, trade distribution or a similar owner-led private group
- Open to candidates from Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Senior Accountant, Group Accountant or similar backgrounds
- Experienced accountant or finance skilled who is happy to be hands-on, not just supervise
- Confident using AI tools practically for reporting, analysis and admin
- Strong Excel and accounting systems skills
- Organised, commercially minded and trustworthy, with the confidence to work directly with an owner-operator
- Melbourne-based and available to work from our offices
- Please note that a police check will be conducted as part of the recruitment process.

If you want real autonomy, a seat close to the decisions, and the chance to build something as the business scales, I'd love to hear from you.
