Role Benefit: Own finance operations in rapidly scaling subscription business; Direct partnership with CFO; Build scalable finance foundations for future growth
Role Overview
Reporting to the CFO, as Finance Manager, you will own the day-to-day finance function for a fast-growing direct-to-consumer food subscription business scaling from $55m toward $100m+ revenue. This is a hands-on, operational role where you will be the engine room of financial control, ensuring the business operates with one clear version of financial truth.
With direct accountability for month-end close, inventory valuation, gross margin analysis, and management reporting, you will work in a complex, inventory-heavy environment managing 100+ SKUs across multiple storage locations including 3PLs and cold storage facilities. Your work will directly free the CFO to focus on strategy, capital, and growth initiatives while you ensure financial integrity and operational excellence.
In your first 6-9 months, you will take ownership of the month-end close process, master the inventory costing model across the supply chain, and establish reliable forecasting and gross margin analysis. This is a rare opportunity to build scalable finance foundations in a high-growth environment with a clear pathway to Head of Finance as the business continues to scale.
Responsibilities
- Month-End Close & Financial Control: Own end-to-end month-end process including journals, accruals, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity; oversee bookkeeper to ensure accuracy and posting quality
- Inventory & Stock Valuation: Master inventory valuation across all locations (3PLs, cold storage, in-transit); reconcile stock balances between warehouse reports, supplier invoices, and GL; maintain COGS accuracy as a single source of truth
- Gross Margin & Commercial Analysis: Deliver detailed margin analysis by product, box type, and channel (subscription vs non-subscription); perform variance analysis across pricing, costs, yield, and freight; identify margin leakage early and partner with Operations and Marketing
- Budgeting & Forecasting: Own annual budget process with CFO; maintain rolling forecasts; track actuals vs budget with clear variance explanations; support scenario modelling for growth planning

You are a CA or CPA qualified finance professional with 7+ years of hands-on accounting experience, including proven ownership of month-end close in complex businesses. You have strong experience in inventory-heavy environments - ideally FMCG, food, protein, manufacturing, or ecommerce - and understand the intricacies of stock valuation, costing methodologies, and COGS accuracy. Your technical grounding is solid, but you're commercially minded and can partner effectively with operations and commercial teams to translate numbers into clear business insight.
You are highly competent in Excel or Google Sheets, with a strong systems, controls, and process mindset. You're comfortable working autonomously in fast-moving environments, dealing with ambiguity, and managing conflicting timelines. You're confident in challenging data that doesn't look right and have the communication skills to build relationships and influence stakeholders. Experience in subscription or ecommerce businesses, exposure to 3PL or cold-chain logistics, or supporting audits and investor due diligence would be highly regarded. As a hands-on operator, you bring self-management, accountability, and a passion for solving problems and building scalable finance operations.

Location: Parramatta & Western Sydney, NSW
Salary Package: $180k + Super + 20% STI
Role Highlights: Growth-stage business scaling toward 500m+ revenue, genuine future path to CFO, and finance transformation focus.
Role Overview
Reporting to the CFO of a highly successful multi-channel brand, the Group Financial Controller will serve as a trusted deputy and primary 2IC. This is a rare opportunity to transform a technically sound finance function into best-in-class operation while positioning yourself for CFO progression as the business prepares for future IPO. The business has undergone a significant recent transformation, and a high-performing and highly experienced ELT has joined the business to lead strategic growth. The CFO now needs a capable Group FC who can run finance day-to-day and drive the function from good to great while they focus on business strategy and expansion. With a national presence and an aggressive expansion plan, the business sits at a transformational inflexion point. Delivering strong EBITDA with cash flow strength, the strategic pivot is clear. Finance must elevate from adequate business accounting to institutional-grade standards - and you'll lead that transformation.
Responsibilities
- Finance Function Transformation: Shift team from task-focused processors to commercial partners delivering strategic insights; establish a consistent reporting rhythm, unlock value from the current team of Financial Accountants, and elevate reporting from accurate to insightful
- Autonomous Finance Leadership: Own full finance remit day-to-day without CFO involvement - month-end close, management reporting, statutory reporting and tax returns, group consolidation across 60 entities, financial planning and analysis
- Dual Mandate Delivery: Wear two hats (80/20) - commercial finance leader delivering business performance insights (store-level P&L, margin analysis, acquisition modelling) + interface for tax structuring and multi-entity complexity (supported by external specialists)
- Team Development & Performance Management: Lead 10+ person team, including core accounting positions, procurement and remuneration; nurture through hands on approach while driving performance.
- IPO Readiness Building: Lift finance standards to listed company calibre - governance frameworks, controls documentation, quarterly reporting discipline, board pack sophistication, audit committee preparedness; build foundations for future state dual-CFO structure
- Group Complexity Management: Navigate 60-entity landscape, consolidated group reporting, inter-company transactions, operating entity oversight; balance different needs across retail, wholesale, geographic footprints
- Strategic Partnership: Deliver commercial insights to CEO and CFO - not invoice processing volumes but business performance conversations; support acquisition evaluation, store network expansion analysis, and margin optimisation opportunities
- Hybrid Culture Establishment: Be present in Western Sydney initially to build relationships and establish rhythm; then model empowered hybrid culture through trust and outcomes focus.
Candidate Profile
You are a CA/CPA qualified finance leader with group environment experience, not single-entity. You've managed finance teams, developed talent and driven performance. You bring corporate exposure (ASX experience or Big 4 background) and understand what institutional-grade finance looks like. You're commercially minded, not purely technical - someone who delivers insights alongside numbers and thinks strategically while executing operationally.
You've worked for different organisations and bring that valued external perspective to the business. Retail/wholesale/FMCG/inventory-based business experience is highly valuable - you understand stock management, gross margin dynamics, and store-level economics.
Your leadership style is consultative but decisive. You thrive in collaborative, informal environments, yet bring the rigour needed for a listed company transition. You manage upwards well, can work autonomously and can be a high-intellect soundboard for the CFO. As a leader, you are nurturing with your team and want to create energy through a "how can we do things better" mindset.
Most importantly, you're grounded in your ambition - motivated and career-driven but not letting your next role inform everything you do today. You're excited by growth and transformation opportunities. You appreciate grounded business values – loyalty and forgiveness, whilst driving performance elevation. You balance values with commercial ambition.
The Organisation
This privately held business owns multi-channel retail and wholesale operations across Australia. With a 40-year heritage and $250m+ revenue, the business combines entrepreneurial foundation with professional management. The culture is rich with long tenure and loyalty, with recent additions to shift toward a performance-driven culture while preserving the business heart. The strategic pivot is aggressive, involving expansion across multiple verticals and states, with multiple targets under evaluation. The business is also looking at opportunities for modernisation, systems upgrade, and process optimisation.
