Your opportunity

This is a newly created Financial Controller role with a highly successful business turning over close to $400m, growing at around 20% year on year, and with plenty more planned. This position puts you at the centre of their growth plans, and you'll see this role evolve in real-time.

You'll be joining an approachable and supportive leadership team that places a genuine emphasis on collaboration and teamwork. This is a business where how you work with people matters just as much as what you know technically.

You'll also manage a team of 7 that know what they're doing and are highly capable. You certainly don't need to make sweeping changes, and the business would prefer that you settle into your position and gradually make improvements as and where required.

What you'll do:

You will take ownership of the financial control environment and while you'll have responsibility for the monthly numbers, financial reporting, cash flow and compliance, a key part of the role will be building the internal controls framework, strengthening risk management and protecting the business as it becomes larger and more complex.

- Financial reporting: Take ownership of the monthly accounts and financial close, delivering accurate, reliable numbers within the current day-three close timetable.
- Internal controls and risk: Develop and implement an internal controls framework across finance and the wider business, protecting assets and ensuring the right processes are in place as the business grows.
- Business continuity:



Develop a Business Continuity Plan and help strengthen the business's approach to operational risk and resilience.
- Compliance and governance: Manage the relationship with the ATO, oversee BAS and statutory obligations, and drive compliance across areas including ESG and Modern Slavery.
- Cash flow and treasury: Oversee cash flow management and forecasting, building on the existing 15-month rolling forecast and improving short-term cash flow visibility as required.
- Systems: Oversee the systems used across finance, ensuring they continue to support the business effectively.
- Audit: Manage the external audit process and ensure the business is well prepared.
- Leadership: Lead and develop the accounting, accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, working closely with the wider finance team and senior leadership.

What you'll bring:

Experience building internal controls frameworks is important here. If you've done this in an inventory-heavy business, even better.

You'll be a technically solid finance professional who understands that good financial control is about more than producing a set of accounts.

You'll be humble, approachable and commercially minded.



This isn't about coming in and imposing controls in isolation; it's about working with people across the business to build processes that work and protect the organisation as it grows.

- CA / CPA qualified, with a strong technical accounting background and external audit grounding.
- Proven experience developing and implementing internal controls frameworks, ideally in a business with significant inventory and operational complexity.
- A solid understanding of financial risk, governance, compliance and business continuity.
- Experience overseeing financial reporting, month-end close, cash flow and audit.
- Strong systems knowledge and the ability to identify where processes and controls can be improved.
- A hands-on, proactive approach. You're comfortable getting into the detail but can also step back and look at the bigger picture.
- Strong communication and people skills, with the ability to bring people along with you and work collaboratively across different areas of the business.
