Finance Manager, Multi-Entity Private Group
Campbellfield
Our client is a privately owned, founder-led group of businesses with a combined annual turnover exceeding $30 million.
The group operates across a diverse portfolio including Legal Services, Property Development, Fitness, Waste Management, and Agriculture, with combined annual turnover exceeding $30M.
The environment is rapid paced, commercially driven, and constantly evolving.
This is not a conventional Finance Manager role.
It's a genuine seat at the table with a founder who has built serious value across his businesses but knows his financial oversight hasn't kept pace with growth.
Fund flows between entities haven't always been formally documented, and there's currently no single consolidated view of the Group's debt, cash or net asset position.
You'll be the first person to sit across the entire Group with a clear mandate: bring order, structure and visibility to the Director's complete financial position, business and personal.
Responsibilities
Owning the Group's consolidated financial position at all times, with the Director able to get an accurate answer to any financial question within the hour
Managing everything from personal expenses through to major capital requirements for property acquisitions and construction
Rolling cash flow forecasts and a weekly cash and debt summary for the Director




Overseeing the bookkeeping team and liaising with the external tax agent on compliance
Building and enforcing clear financial controls, including a formal intercompany transfer process
Supporting evaluation of new property acquisitions, including development feasibility modelling
Managing banking relationships and lender communication across a large number of accounts
What We're Looking For
7+ years in a senior finance role, ideally across multiple entities or a group structure
Comfortable working directly with a founder where priorities shift fast; you're a stabilising force, not an extra variable
Advanced Xero skills across multiple entities, without needing support
Experience managing or directing bookkeepers and junior finance staff
CPA or CA preferred, though exceptional experience will be considered in place of it
Absolute discretion; you'll have full visibility of the Director's personal and business financial position
Why This Role
At 30 days, you'll have delivered a complete financial map of the Group.
At 6 months, clear controls are in place and the Director gets a weekly summary he can rely on.
At 12 months, you're his most trusted operational partner, contributing directly to decisions on acquisitions, cash deployment and growth.
This is a genuinely broad, high-trust mandate for someone who wants ownership, not just oversight.
