Finance Manager (Hands-On) – Part time, Growing to Full-Time
Solar & Battery | Gold Coast | Hybrid

n

About us
n Renewables is a SAA-accredited Gold Coast solar, battery and electrical contractor. We have 15+ staff, our own licensed electricians, and a growing pipeline of commercial, council and government projects across Australia.

n

We've grown fast. Now we need one person to own our finances end to end, from the day-to-day processing through to the weekly numbers the directors use to run the business.

n

The role
n This role starts at 3 days per week and is built to become full-time as the business grows. You'll be the one person who owns our numbers, working directly with the directors.

n

It's a genuinely hands-on role. You'll run the processing yourself and build the reporting that sits on top of it. If you enjoy having both the detail and the big picture, you'll like this role.

n

Day to day

n

Weekly payroll, super and STP reporting

n

Invoicing jobs on install, taking deposits and progress claims, and chasing overdue debtors

n

Bank and account reconciliations in Xero

n

Accounts payable: supplier bills, purchase orders and payment runs for director approval

n

BAS, PAYG and super lodgements, working with our external accountants

n

A rolling 13-week cash forecast, updated weekly

n

Separate tax reserve accounts (GST, PAYG/super, income tax),



so there are no surprises from the ATO

n

Job costing and profitability by project, salesperson and crew, including flags on anything under margin

n

A weekly one-page report and meeting with the directors covering cash, debtors, creditors, order book and profitability

n

Director drawings, approved against a clear, agreed framework

n

Cost review: our biggest costs, what can be renegotiated, and where to cut or invest

n

What you'll bring

n

CPA or CA qualified (or well progressed)

n

Experience running full-function finance in trades, construction, electrical or project-based businesses

n

Advanced Xero skills, including payroll (CRM integration experience is a plus; we use GoHighLevel)

n

A solid understanding of award-based payroll (experience with the Electrical Contracting Award is highly regarded), super and STP

n

A proven track record in cash forecasting and job costing

n

Strong attention to detail, and the ability to turn numbers into plain-English decisions

n

The confidence to tell directors "no" and back it with data

n

Genuine ownership: you build the finance function, not inherit someone else's

n

A clear pathway to full-time, and to a senior finance leadership role as the business scales

n

Flexible hours and hybrid work in the part-time phase

n

Direct access to the directors, so decisions happen quickly

n

An industry with long-term tailwinds and a business with national ambitions
