Finance Manager in Sydney

Sydney Full-Time Remote

Roomstay (SaaS) and Dijitally (agency) operate across Australia, the UK, and Ireland with multi-entity, multi-currency finance operations. We are hiring a hands‐on Finance Manager to take full ownership of the finance function across both businesses.

This role is suited to a commercially minded accountant who can run finance operations end‐to‐end, improve structure, and provide clear financial insight to leadership. This is not a traditional finance role focused only on reporting — this role is responsible for bringing control, structure, and visibility to the entire finance function.

Core Responsibilities 1. End‐to‐End Finance Ownership

  • Take full ownership of finance operations across both businesses
  • Manage invoicing across multiple entities
  • Conduct bank and card reconciliations
  • Oversee accounts receivable and collections
  • Process supplier payments and payment runs
  • Maintain accurate, clean, and up‐to‐date records in Xero

2. Payroll & Compliance

  • Oversee payroll for an international team
  • Ensure compliance with BAS / GST / PAYG obligations
  • Ensure payroll and statutory requirements
  • Coordinate with external accountants for filings and statutory reporting

3. Monthly Reporting (Decision‐Focused)

  • Produce management reporting pack including revenue by entity and key drivers
  • Calculate and report gross margin (particularly for agency delivery)
  • Report operating costs and profitability
  • Show cash position and movement
  • Ensure reporting is clear, structured, and decision‐ready (not just accounting outputs)

4. Cashflow & Forecasting

  • Build and maintain rolling cashflow forecasts
  • Provide visibility on expected inflows and outflows
  • Highlight cash risks and constraints
  • Forecast working capital requirements

5. Commercial Finance & Insight

  • Act as a finance partner to the founder
  • Identify client / project profitability
  • Track SaaS revenue performance
  • Highlight margin leakage and cost inefficiencies
  • Provide proactive insight, not just reporting

6. Process & Control

  • Design and implement structured finance processes across both businesses
  • Improve efficiency and reduce manual work
  • Ensure consistency across multi‐entity accounting and intercompany transactions
  • Introduce clear ownership and accountability across finance activities

Finance Ownership & Operating Model

  • Take full ownership of invoicing, payroll, and financial operations end‐to‐end
  • Remove reliance on founder involvement in day‐to‐day finance processes
  • Replace meeting‐driven workflows with structured, system‐led processes
  • Establish clear ownership between account management and finance teams
  • Ensure invoicing, collections, and payroll operate consistently without manual coordination
  • Identify inefficiencies and redesign workflows to improve speed, accuracy, and control

Cross‐Team Workflow Ownership

  • Own the interface between account management and finance
  • Ensure revenue inputs from delivery teams are accurate, timely, and structured
  • Remove reliance on meetings to validate invoicing inputs
  • Implement clear, repeatable workflows for billing and revenue recognition

Skills and Experience

  • Qualified accountant (CA / ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
  • 5+ years' experience in Finance Manager / Financial Controller role
  • Strong experience with Xero
  • Experience working across multi‐entity structures and multi‐currency environments
  • Hands‐on mindset (comfortable executing as well as overseeing)
  • Strong Excel / Google Sheets capability

Highly Desirable

  • Experience in agency / services businesses
  • Experience in SaaS or subscription‐based revenue models
  • Experience managing offshore or outsourced finance support
  • Familiarity with Airwallex, Wise, or FX platforms

This is a part‐time role, working 2‐3 days per week in a fully remote environment, reporting to the founder.
