Organisaton.
Our client is a growing Australian consumer products business turning over more than $30m, operating across wholesale, retail and e-commerce.
The business manages multiple brands and product categories, with a model spanning importing, inventory, wholesale distribution, direct to consumer and supply into major Australian retailers.
Role.
This is a newly created Head of Finance position reporting directly to the CEO.
The brief is pretty clear.
They need someone who can come in, get across the detail quickly and clean up areas of the finance function that need attention.
This will be a very hands on role.
In a business of this size, you will not have large teams underneath you or layers to delegate through.
The upside is ownership. You will have the opportunity to shape how finance operates and build the function as the business continues to grow.
Key Responsibilities.
- Partner directly with the CEO and broader operational teams
- Own month end, management reporting and group consolidations
- Improve financial controls, reconciliations and reporting disciplines
- Manage cash flow, working capital and the rolling 13 week forecast
- Lead budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis
- Improve inventory, landed cost and gross margin reporting
- Oversee AP, AR, payroll, compliance and year end requirements
About You.
- CA or CPA qualified with strong technical accounting foundations
- Head of Finance, Financial Controller or strong Finance Manager background
- Experience owning finance end to end within a smaller business
- Comfortable being hands on and personally resolving finance issues
- Strong MYOB, month end, cash flow and balance sheet capability
- Retail, wholesale, distribution, ecommerce or inventory experience highly regarded
This role will suit someone who enjoys rolling their sleeves up and taking ownership.
If you have worked in a smaller environment where you have had to understand everything happening across finance, there is plenty here to get stuck into and improve.
