Assist with budgeting and rolling forecasts, linking credit trends with revenue and margin projections
Provide ad hoc financial analysis to support pricing, contract negotiations and commercial decisions
Help the business improve profitability and deliver against its KPIs
Oversee day-to-day credit operations alongside the National Credit Manager, including customer accounts, disputes, ageing and credit risk reviews

Direct reporting line to the CFO, with exposure to regional finance leadership
Newly created,



broader role with a transparent pathway into other finance roles over time
Small, collaborative team where your work is visible and valued
Attractive bonus scheme, additional employer superannuation and extra wellness leave
Hybrid working (3 days office, 2 days from home), with a brand-new Melbourne office from December
Ideal Candidate

Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting
CA/CPA qualified or currently completing
4+ years' experience in financial accounting, audit or commercial finance
Audit or Big 4 background advantageous
Advanced Excel skills; Microsoft Business Central experience a plus
