About us Founded in Sydney in 2014, ezyCollect by Sidetrade is Australia's leading Order‑to‑Cash platform for small and mid‑sized businesses. We automate credit management, collections, and payments - taking the manual work out of getting paid. Our 1,100+ customers manage A$19 billion in receivables through the platform, typically cutting late payments by 40% and bad debt by 80% within three months.

Now part of global AI leader Sidetrade, we’re scaling our reach across three continents - bringing enterprise‑grade technology to the mid‑market while staying true to our Sydney roots. We process approximately $100 million per month in payment volume and operate as a subsidiary within a larger international group. Australian innovation. Global ambition.

Why this role exists We're at a pivotal moment. As a subsidiary of Sidetrade with a growing payments operation processing over $1BN annually, we need robust financial controls, timely reporting, and governance that scales.

In this role, you will oversee the accounting function through leadership of the Finance Team and act as the primary custodian of the company’s financial control environment.

This is a high‑trust, high‑autonomy role focused on governance, reporting discipline, and financial oversight within a growing organisation.

Your team You’ll lead a small finance team and work closely with the Payments Manager as we scale our operations and platform in the US and Europe, and liaise regularly with our French headquarters on reporting and finance matters.

The team is hands‑on, collaborative, and practical. We value accuracy, integrity, and continuous improvement. You’ll have autonomy to shape finance processes and reporting as we scale, and you’ll be the primary custodian of our financial control environment.
