Our last Finance Manager is now our Finance Director.
That's the path this role is built on.
We need the person who comes next — someone who can run group finance day to day, lead their own team, and run the whole function when the Finance Director is away.
This isn't a close-and-report job.
Behind Aqua Dining, Sails Lavender Bay, The Nielsen, Ripples and Riva Rose Bay sits a multi-entity group with daily cash and card takings, weekly payroll and a stocktake every month.
You'll own the machinery that makes sense of it — and you'll have the authority to change how it runs.
What's genuinely yours
The close — every entity, one retail calendar, and a mandate to take it to working day 5
The cash — a rolling 13-week forecast across the group that the Finance Director uses to make funding decisions
The team — accountants, bookkeepers and payroll specialists in Sydney and the Philippines; you hire them, train them and decide how the work flows
The seat at the table — monthly reviews with our Operations Managers, where your numbers change what happens in the venues
The acting Director role — when the Finance Director is away, you run finance
Why the best candidates will take this
The path is proven — we've already promoted from this seat to Finance Director
You build, not inherit — a growing team and real say in how it's designed




A finance function that uses AI — we document and query our own procedures with AI-assisted workflows, and we want someone who will push that further
Quick feedback — daily trade and weekly pay mean your work shows up in the venues within a week, not a quarter
A personal development budget, dining discounts across our venues, and one work-from-home day a week
You'll be
CA or CPA qualified, with 5+ years in senior finance including ownership of a full month-end close
Fluent in multi-entity — consolidation and intercompany across separate legal entities
From hospitality or another multi-site business with daily trade and weekly payroll
The owner of a rolling cash-flow forecast in your current or most recent role
Someone who has led offshore team members and made them part of the team
Sydney-based and comfortable spending time in our venues
Bonus points for 2IC experience, F&B; stocktake and cost-of-goods work, hospitality award interpretation, and hands-on use of AI in finance.
