Role Overview
With a national footprint, a global client base and a GM of Finance who has deliberately structured this role for maximum breadth and accountability, this is an opportunity that comes along rarely at this level. Reporting directly to the GM of Finance, with a dotted line to the Divisional MD, you will take full ownership of the finance function for the flagship division of this leading listed group – the P&L, the balance sheet, FP&A, compliance, working capital and commercial partnering, end-to-end. This is a business that generates significant revenue and operates at the intersection of professional services and listed-entity rigour.

Responsibilities

• Own the full P&L and balance sheet end-to-end – management reporting, month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations and analytical commentary to the GM of Finance and Managing Director
• Lead forward-looking FP&A across the business – forecasting, headcount analysis, margin optimisation and budgeting across practice group revenue targets
• Partner strategically with the Managing Director and practice group leaders, becoming a trusted commercial voice in a business where finance has historically played a support role
• Manage statutory compliance obligations – income tax, GST, FBT and listed-entity reporting requirements
• Own working capital and cash management, actively managing debtors and AP to improve cash conversion across a high-volume, transaction-intensive operation
• Lead and develop a team of approximately 10 people across financial accounting, accounts payable and credit control, including offshore staff
• Build the commercial finance capability the business needs – FP&A discipline, practice group analysis and financial insight that drives decisions rather than records them

Candidate Profile
You are a CPA or CA-qualified finance leader with genuine depth across both technical accounting and commercial business partnering – someone who is as comfortable in a month-end review as they are in a room with senior stakeholders, making the commercial case for a decision. You have led teams and know what it takes to bring people on a journey. You do not wait to be asked. You are the person who walks into a business meeting with an opinion, builds relationships before they are needed, and earns credibility through consistency and straight talk. You understand that the path to CFO runs through roles like this one – and you are ready to take it.

Culture & Benefits
This leading global services group is at a genuine inflection point, with a GM investing in commercial finance capability and a flagship division where finance is being repositioned from support function to strategic voice. For a finance leader with CFO ambitions, opportunities with this breadth come along rarely.

• Own it all – full P&L, balance sheet, FP&A, compliance and commercial partnering, end-to-end
• Be rewarded – $250,000 Package + Bonus
• Get CFO-ready, a role deliberately structured by the GM to build a future CFO
