The upshot for finance: credit risk, provisioning, covenant obligations to a lender, deferredrevenue that unwinds as people travel, and a multi-entity group to consolidate. Finance hereisn’t a back-office function.
The RoleOur Finance Manager is moving on, and we’re looking for the person who will own the financefunction’s operating rhythm: the weekly cash and lending cycle, review and sign-off of themonthly close, covenant reporting to our lender, and statutory and tax obligations across thegroup.
The work splits roughly three ways:Treasury and lender reporting — yours end to end. Cash across all entities, cash profitreporting and forecasting, LVR calculation and forecasting, and monthly covenant reporting. Ifyou want ownership of the numbers a business genuinely runs on, this is it.
Financial control — you review, and you own the judgement. Our Senior Financial Accountantprepares month-end and the reporting pack. You review it and own the calls behind it: ECL andcancellation provisioning methodology, deferred revenue treatment, group receivables, lossanalysis on defaults and cancellations.
Statutory, tax and market entry. Australian BAS, IAS and payroll tax; US franchise, state andannual returns (our US entity also carries our Canadian sales); review of UK filings prepared byour Senior Financial Accountant; and annual statutory accounts including consolidation andtransfer pricing.
Plus one thing we’d hand you early: our New Zealand entity is being established, and you’dstand up its finance and tax compliance from scratch — GST registration, lodgement cycle,income tax, and bringing it into the group consolidation.
You’ll also manage our Philippines-based Financial Accountant, so some experience workingwith or leading remote team members helps.
What You'll BringChartered Accountant — CA ANZ, or an overseas equivalent such as ACA (ICAEW, ICAS, Chartered Accountants Ireland). This one is a requirement.3+ years’ post-qualification experienceStrong technical foundation in month-end close: you’ve owned one, so you can review one properlyAustralian compliance knowledge: BAS, IAS, payroll taxExposure to statutory account preparationGenuine cash flow forecasting ability — building and maintaining a model, not just reporting last monthComfortable in Xero/NetSuite and strong in Excel or Google Sheets
On financial services experience: we’d love it, but we won’t screen you out for its absence. The mechanics of covenant and LVR reporting are teachable, and our CFO will train you on them directly. What isn’t teachable in a hurry is the technical foundation and the judgement to know when something doesn’t look right — so that’s what we’re actually selecting on.
