Own the finance function, not just a piece of it.
A growing, project-based business in Melbourne's east needs a hands-on finance lead. It's part of a larger, well-established group and delivers residential and commercial projects nationally. The owner is entrepreneurial and backs growth, so there's plenty happening.
You'll run finance from transaction to report and be the commercial partner the CEO relies on. You'll be on site four days a week, and spend one day a week with the group finance team.
The Role
- Job costing, WIP and job profitability: quoted margin vs actual, on every job
- Monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasting, budgets and reforecasts
- End-to-end payroll: awards, super, STP, onboarding and terminations
- Progress claims, invoicing, retentions and debtor follow-up
- BAS, IAS, super, payroll tax and workers' comp, lodged on time
- Pricing, quoting and capex analysis for the leadership team
- Build better controls and processes, using AI where it helps
- Lead one Accounts Officer
- Report to the CEO and the Group CFO
About You
- CA/CPA qualified
- Job costing or project accounting experience from manufacturing, construction, trades or another project-based business
- Hands-on payroll experience
- Strong on Xero and Excel. You already use AI tools or want to.
- Commercial enough to explain the numbers to people who aren't finance people
What's on Offer
- A function that's yours to shape in a business that's growing
- Direct line to the Group CFO and senior leadership
- The backing of a larger group without the big-corporate pace
- $150,000 base plus super
This role is for an immediate start.
