The role

Reporting directly to the Founder, you will take ownership of the company’s Australian finance, compliance and reporting requirements while working closely with an offshore transactional finance team.

You will ideally bring:

• CA or CPA qualifications, or equivalent experience

• Experience coordinating with auditors and external advisers

• Exposure to R&D tax incentives or rebates

• Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365

• Experience with Xero, particularly payroll-related processes

• Experience within an ASX-listed or highly governed business would be advantageous

• A practical, positive and solution-focused approach

• The ability to manage changing priorities and unexpected challenges

Why consider this opportunity?

You will join a small, supportive and highly motivated team where new ideas are welcomed.

The culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative and solutions-focused and the opportunity to work closely with the Founder.

You will have genuine ownership of the Australian finance function and the ability to influence how it develops as the business continues to grow.

The role offers:

• Permanent part-time employment

• Approximately two to three days per week

• Predominantly remote working - either Sydney or Melbourne only

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional looking for flexibility, autonomy and the chance to make a meaningful impact within a growing Australian animal health business.
