Asset Rental Group (Holdings) Ltd – Sydney CBD NSW
Asset Rental Group (ARG) is a national leader in commercial Rent To Buy solutions, helping sole traders and small businesses secure the vehicles they need to work and grow their income. We support clients who are often overlooked by traditional finance models - new ABNs, limited credit history, or past credit challenges - and give them a practical pathway to ownership. We're growing fast and expanding our presence across Australia.
The opportunity
This is a senior, hands-on Finance Manager role. You'll take day-to-day ownership of the finance operation, help build and train a new offshore team in the Philippines, and pick up high-impact projects across a transaction-heavy, multi-entity business. It's a genuine ownership role with room to grow as the function scales.

Own the month-end close end-to-end - accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations and the management pack
Prepare and oversee the monthly board pack, including analysis and supporting schedules
Prepare consolidated reports across the group, including intercompany eliminations, balances and transfer pricing / recharge mechanics
Review and approve bank reconciliations across all entities
Produce lender / financier reporting and support covenant and borrowing-base monitoring
Lead the transition of finance in-house - managing the handover from our incumbent provider cleanly and with no disruption
Help hire, onboard, train and supervise the offshore finance team (AR, AP/Fleet, Payroll & Compliance); set ways of working, review standards and escalation paths
Support group compliance: BAS, FBT, payroll tax, STP and year-end audit and financial statements
Assist with Baseplan and Xero administration and data integrity, and drive process improvement using AI and automation
Take on ad hoc projects and commercial analysis - data-quality audits, portfolio / book analytics and funding-related modelling

Strong technical accounting, including consolidations and intercompany
Solid understanding of Australian GST, BAS, FBT, payroll tax and compliance
