1. Own companywide financial management
2. Create and manage company and department budgets
3. Manage cash flow, forecasting and financial controls
4. Oversee payroll, team costs, subscriptions and company spending
5. Oversee client billing, receivables and payment reconciliation

10. Coordinate Australian accounting, tax and compliance requirements
11. Work with external accountants and advisers where required

(Mandatory Experience)

Previous experience as a CFO, Finance Director, Head of Finance or Financial Controller is strongly preferred.

What We Need

We are looking for someone commercial, hands on and confident working directly with the Founder and Heads of Department.

Candidates without relevant Australian finance experience will not be considered.

Hours will be 15 per week for the first 6 weeks then go to full time after.
