Base pay range A$145,000.00/yr - A$165,000.00/yr We’re partnering with a well-established manufacturing group that has grown into a multi-entity operation across Australia and New Zealand. With strong year-on-year performance, a healthy cash position, and confidence in continued expansion, the business is on a trajectory to scale from around $50 million today toward $250 million over the next five years. Despite significant growth, the culture remains proudly a tight-knit team environment where everyone rolls up their sleeves, decisions get made quickly, and impact is immediate. With around 100 staff and highly stable operations, this is a business where high performers thrive and progression comes with the journey.

You’ll be partnering directly with operational leaders, GMs, and finance teams in Australia and New Zealand, while also working closely with the external accounting firm. This is a role that mixes doing and leading: one day you’ll be posting journals or stepping in on payroll, the next you’ll be consolidating group results or shaping how the business thinks about financial performance. Key responsibilities include: Lead end-to-end month-end close, consolidations and statutory requirements across three entities. Build and enhance management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis. Partner with operational leaders to understand manufacturing and supply operations, addressing commercial or financial challenges as they arise.

What’s on offer: Salary of $140,000 to $150,000 plus super. A growing, profitable business with a clear five‑year expansion trajectory. A rare mix of hands‑on accounting, management reporting build‑out and leadership exposure. A genuinely supportive, sleeves‑up culture where impact and initiative are valued.
