An opportunity to lead, strengthen and shape an established finance function while making a meaningful impact across the business.
About the Company
Our client is an established, ASX-listed organisation operating within the resources and industrial services sector. With a strong operational footprint, specialist technical capability and a long-standing presence in its markets, the business supports complex projects across Australia and internationally.
The organisation combines the scale and governance requirements of a listed business with the practical, hands-on nature of an operationally focused environment. Its finance function plays an important role in supporting commercial performance, operational decision-making, financial integrity and sustainable business growth.
With an experienced team already in place, the business is looking to strengthen its finance leadership capability, build greater collaboration and continue developing the systems, processes and people that support its operations.
About the Role
Reporting to the CFO, the Finance Manager will take ownership of the day-to-day accounting function, providing both technical leadership and people management across an established team encompassing financial accounting, payroll and accounts payable.
This is a broad, hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can confidently navigate the detail while maintaining oversight of financial performance, reporting obligations and operational priorities.
You will oversee month-end and year-end processes, financial reporting, balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, cash flow and treasury activities, alongside statutory and taxation compliance. The role also involves managing the complexities of a listed, operationally focused business, including foreign currency transactions, group consolidations, intercompany accounting and supporting ASX reporting requirements.
Beyond technical delivery, a key priority will be strengthening the way the finance team operates. This includes developing capability, improving communication, creating greater consistency across processes and encouraging shared accountability, knowledge transfer and collaboration.
Working closely with the CFO, you will have the opportunity to influence continuous improvement, strengthen financial controls and provide practical insights that support business decisions.
About You
You are an experienced finance professional who brings a strong technical accounting foundation together with demonstrated success leading and developing teams.
CA or CPA qualified, you will have gained experience in a complex commercial environment, ideally within resources, mining services, engineering, manufacturing or another operationally intensive industry.
You will be confident managing end-to-end financial reporting, month-end close, statutory obligations and group consolidations, including foreign currency and intercompany transactions. Experience working within a listed organisation or similarly structured reporting environment will be highly regarded.
Importantly, you remain comfortable working at a detailed level. You understand the underlying transactions, can interrogate financial information, identify discrepancies and take ownership of resolving issues rather than relying solely on others to provide the answers.
Your leadership experience will be equally important. You know how to bring people together, establish clear expectations, develop capability and create an environment where individuals feel supported while remaining accountable for their responsibilities.
You bring sound judgement, strong systems capability and the confidence to challenge existing practices constructively, always with a focus on practical and sustainable improvements.
Culture Fit
Success in this role will come from your ability to build relationships, earn trust and lead through collaboration rather than hierarchy.
You will be joining an established team with considerable organisational knowledge and experience. The right person will recognise the value of that experience, take the time to understand how the business operates and bring people along as improvements are introduced.
You are approachable, curious and commercially minded, with a natural ability to balance empathy with accountability. You enjoy developing others, sharing knowledge and creating an environment where people work together rather than in isolation.
Equally, you are comfortable working with a CFO who values independent thinking, thoughtful questioning and well-considered recommendations. You can confidently articulate your position, challenge constructively and take responsibility for delivering outcomes.
Above all, you are someone who leads by example, follows through on commitments and genuinely enjoys building a high-performing, connected team.
Why Move?
This is an opportunity to step into a meaningful finance leadership role where your contribution will extend well beyond the numbers.
You will inherit an experienced team with strong organisational knowledge and have the opportunity to build on those foundations, developing people, strengthening relationships and shaping how the function operates into the future.
With direct access to the CFO and exposure to the financial and operational complexities of an ASX-listed business, the role offers genuine breadth, autonomy and the ability to influence decisions that matter.
For someone who enjoys combining technical accounting with people leadership, continuous improvement and commercial involvement, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while continuing to grow professionally.
