Commercial Finance Business Partner | Private Equity-Backed Growth BusinessJust posted

- High-impact commercial role working closely with the CFO, executive leadership team and private equity investors.
- Exposure beyond traditional FP&A;, spanning acquisitions, investment modelling, strategic growth and Board reporting.
- Newly created position offering the opportunity to influence commercial decisions and shape the finance function.

About the Organisation

Our client is a leading Australian organisation operating across a national network of over one hundred locations, with an ambitious strategy for continued expansion through acquisitions, new developments and organic growth.

Backed by private equity, the business is entering an exciting phase of investment and transformation. With a strong leadership team, an expanding national footprint and a explicit growth strategy, finance plays a critical role in evaluating opportunities, supporting investment decisions and driving commercial performance.

This is an opportunity to join a business where finance is genuinely involved in shaping the future, rather than simply reporting on the past.

- Assess the commercial viability of potential new locations, preparing investment cases and recommendations.
- Support acquisition due diligence, financial analysis and strategic growth initiatives.
- Prepare insightful financial analysis and presentations for the Board, Investment Committee and private equity investors.
- Partner with senior operational and commercial stakeholders to evaluate performance and identify opportunities.
- Support budgeting, forecasting and long-range financial planning across a growing national portfolio.
- Monitor the financial performance of new investments against original business cases and expectations.
- Identify opportunities to improve financial reporting, modelling capabilities and commercial decision-making.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of the commercial finance function as the organisation continues to scale.

Ideally, you will bring:

- CA or CPA qualification, with approximately five years' post-qualification experience.

- Advanced Excel capability and strong financial modelling skills, with the ability to evaluate investment opportunities.
- Sound accounting fundamentals and the confidence to challenge assumptions and interpret financial information.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, coupled with an ability to translate complex information into meaningful commercial recommendations.
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to engage with senior stakeholders.
- A proactive, inquisitive approach and a genuine interest in understanding what drives business performance.
- The ambition to take ownership, develop new capabilities and progress within a growing organisation.

Opportunities offering this breadth of commercial exposure, particularly at this stage of your career, are uncommon.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced finance and investment professionals, contribute to decisions that directly influence business growth and build capabilities across financial modelling, acquisitions, strategic plan
