Finance Manager | Shape the Numbers Behind Australia’s Leading Macadamia Farm Management Organisation | Bundaberg Region, Queensland

Ready for a finance role that sits at the heart of a dynamic, growing business rather than on the sidelines?

At Macadamia Farm Management (MFM) you will do meaningful work in a versatile macadamia business, with supportive teams and managers.

High impact in shaping the Finance department, administrative functions and automation/ efficiency projects

Access to senior leaders across the business and work with a variety of clients

A culture of teamwork and practical innovation

Flexible start and finish times

We expect reliable contribution through a positive and can-do attitude, whilst building the skills and knowledge of the team around you.

The Opportunity

As Finance Manager you will direct the accounting and financial operations for MFM and its associated entities. You’ll ensure rigorous quality control over every transaction and report while delivering strategic financial counsel to the leadership team.

This is a hands-on leadership role with real commercial impact. You’ll oversee banking and cash flow, accounts payable/receivable, loan administration, month-end and year-end processes, external audits, asset and insurance management, payroll systems, and key client and stakeholder relationships. You’ll also lead and develop the finance and administration team — coaching, mentoring and building capability so the department consistently delivers on time and to a high standard.

You’ll work closely with the Chief Financial Officer and have regular engagement with Directors, General Managers, operational leaders and external partners including banks, auditors and a variety clients.

Why this role (and company) stands out

Most finance roles keep you distant from the business. Here you sit at the heart of a growing,



innovative agricultural enterprise that manages thousands of hectares of macadamia orchards. Your work directly supports the people who care for the trees, the clients who invest in them, and the practical innovations that keep MFM at the front of the industry.

Locals value the chance to grow their career with a respected regional employer without relocating. Out-of-town candidates are drawn to the lifestyle shift: coastal Queensland living, less traffic, open space, and a genuine sense of community — while still doing high-calibre professional work with clear progression pathways.

What success looks like

Timely, accurate and insightful financial reporting that leadership trusts

Smooth, well-controlled day-to-day finance operations

A motivated, capable team that meets deadlines and keeps improving

Solid relationships with internal and external stakeholders

Continuous improvement in systems, processes and financial capability across the business

Who we’re looking for

You’ll bring:

A degree in Accounting, Finance or Business (Chartered Accountant or CPA preferred)

At least 5 years’ experience in a Finance Manager role

Strong experience with budgets, cash flow, ERP systems, advanced Excel and Power BI

Knowledge of Australian accounting standards and payroll/Award interpretation

Proven ability to lead, coach and develop a small-to-medium team

Positive approach to problem solving and taking the team to the next level

Commercial judgement, attention to detail, clear communication and the confidence to work under pressure while remaining positive and adaptable

You’ll thrive if you are professional, organised, customer-focused and genuinely care about both the numbers and the people behind them.

Based in the Bundaberg region — where orchard meets ocean. Enjoy a regional lifestyle with beaches, community and space, while working for an industry leader that values flexibility and treats people with respect.
