Step Up. Own the Numbers. Shape What's Next.
Whether you're a Finance Manager or Financial Controller ready to step up, or an experienced operator looking for your next challenge, this is a genuine opportunity to own financial strategy, reporting and IT & AI for a growing, multi-site business, with real support behind you
We're not after a standard accountant to keep the reports ticking over. Be part of a high-performing team where collaboration and mutual understanding drive shared accountability.
You'll join an open, practical, no-ego leadership team who talk straight and expect the same in return: confident and direct, but not overbearing; empowering, not micromanaging.
You'll play a key part in:
- Owning financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and risk & compliance across the business
- Leading and mentoring a small finance team: Payroll & General Accounting, Accounts Payable, Credit Management, Business Analysis and Cost Accounting
- Lifting the standard of financial reporting and dashboards, and upskilling the broader business in financial acumen
- Partnering with the Business Analyst and leadership team to identify where AI and automation can streamline the finance function
- Supporting the business through an exciting period of change, including site consolidation and continued growth
You'll be genuinely supported from day one, with a structured induction, exposure to every department and site, and regular check-ins as you build your first 30, 60 and 90-day plan alongside the leadership team.

What You'll Bring
- Degree in Commerce or Accounting, with CA or CPA qualification
- Proven experience as a Finance Manager, Financial Controller, Finance Director or similar, ideally within manufacturing or FMCG, with a track record of leading people, plus the ambition to step up further
- Experience with plant or cost accounting
- A genuine, hands-on people-leader style: someone who mentors, empowers and checks in regularly, rather than micromanaging or managing from a distance
- Comfort with financial systems and a real interest in AI and process improvement
- Pronto experience desirable (or similar ERP system)
- The confidence to translate financial insight into plain language for non-financial stakeholders
- A continuous improvement, solution-focused mindset
Good Work Deserves Good Things
- 38-hour week with a flexible start time
- Up to two days working from home per week after probation
- Genuine relocation support considered for the right candidate. We welcome applicants from across Australia and New Zealand
- A seat at the leadership table in a values-led, family-owned business with real growth ahead
- Staff discounts through our pantry shop, and involvement in causes we care about, including the Children's Hospital Foundation
If This Feels Right, It Probably Is
