Finance Business Partner

Leadership at Blacktown City means more than managing teams. It is about making decisions that support a growing city and helping Council deliver services the community relies on every day.

As a Finance Business Partner, you work closely with managers across Council to support sound financial management and informed decision-making. You prepare project, program and service budgets, contribute to Council's annual and long-term budgets, monitor monthly performance and investigate major variances. You provide practical advice that helps managers understand the financial impact of operational and project decisions.

Day to day, you prepare monthly management reports and quarterly budget reviews, develop financial commentary for management and Council reports, and provide ad hoc analysis on specific issues. You contribute to project costings, service pricing reviews and activity-based costing, while identifying opportunities to improve financial processes, reports and systems.

You also support, train and coach managers and staff in responsible financial management. Your work helps maintain financial discipline, supports the long-term sustainability of Council services and provides the information leaders need to make confident decisions.

This role suits a collaborative and analytical finance professional with a degree in Accounting, budget experience in a large and complex organisation, and strong communication skills. In return, you gain the opportunity to apply your expertise in meaningful work, supported by the stability, flexibility and career development opportunities offered by one of NSW's largest councils.
