Financial Controller | Electric Vehicle Manufacturing

- Electric Vehicle Manufacturing
- Hands-on finance leadership with real operational impact
- M1 ERP & manufacturing cost accounting expertise essential

Our client is one of Australia's leading electric commercial vehicle manufacturers, operating as part of a well-backed clean energy group with a growing order book and an ambitious expansion trajectory.

The role will also require you to:

- Manage month-end and year-end close,



and prepare consolidated monthly management reports for the CEO and Group CFO.
- Maintain job costing, Bill of Materials, and inventory valuation within the M1 ERP system.
- Oversee 13-week rolling cash flow forecasts aligned to manufacturing cycles.
- Ensure full compliance with AASB standards, GST, FBT, and STP obligations, and manage external audit and corporate tax requirements.
- Lead annual budgeting and quarterly re-forecasting, and partner with the CEO on CAPEX evaluations and major contract tenders.
- Identify cost efficiencies across the supply chain and build real-time margin visibility per vehicle.
