JOB OVERVIEW

About I.T. how to
I.T. how to is a fast-growing managed IT services business delivering support, projects, and strategic IT solutions to clients across Victoria.
We are building a high-performance, system-driven business that operates efficiently, scales cleanly, and does not rely on the CEO for day-to-day operations.

---

The Opportunity
We are looking for a Finance Owner / Financial Controller to take full ownership of the finance function.
This is not a traditional accounting role.

This role exists to:
Build a self-running financial system
Deliver predictable cash flow and accurate reporting
Remove the CEO from day-to-day financial operations
You will have the autonomy to own outcomes, not just complete tasks.

---

What You’ll Be Responsible For
Cash Flow & Financial Control
Own daily and weekly cash flow management
Maintain and improve a 13-week rolling forecast
Ensure strong liquidity and zero surprises

---

Reporting & Insights
Deliver a weekly Finance Pack to the CEO:
Cash position
Forecast movement
Debtors (A/R)
Revenue trends
Produce monthly P&L and margin reporting
Provide insight and recommendations, not just numbers

---

Billing & Collections (A/R)
Ensure all invoices are accurate and issued on time
Drive collections and reduce overdue balances
Improve and automate billing processes (direct debit where possible)

---

Financial Operations
Oversee accounts payable, payroll coordination, and reconciliation
Ensure clean, reliable financial data at all times
Maintain strong internal controls

---

Performance & Profitability

Identify inefficiencies and improvement opportunities
Support pricing, profitability, and financial decision-making

---

Systems & Process Ownership
Own and improve financial systems (Xero, PSA tools, reporting)
Build efficient, repeatable processes
Introduce automation where possible

---

Leadership & Ownership
Take full responsibility for the finance function
Lead weekly finance review meetings
Communicate clearly with leadership
Make decisions within defined authority

---

What This Role Is NOT
Not a bookkeeper
Not just compliance/BAS/tax
Not a passive reporting role
This is a hands-on, commercially driven ownership role

---

What Success Looks Like (Within 90 Days)
Weekly finance reporting delivered consistently without CEO involvement
Cash flow forecast is accurate and reliable
Invoicing and collections run smoothly
Financial issues are identified early
CEO is no longer involved in daily finance

---

About You
Experience
5+ years in finance/accounting roles
Experience in SME or services business (IT/MSP preferred)
Strong hands-on capability across cash flow and reporting

---

Skills
Strong commercial and analytical thinking
Advanced Excel / financial modelling
Experience with Xero (or similar)
Excellent organisation and attention to detail

---

Mindset
Takes ownership and accountability
Proactive — solves problems before escalation
Comfortable making decisions independently
Focused on outcomes, not just tasks
Communicates clearly with non-financial stakeholders

---

Why Join I.T. how to
High-impact role with real ownership
Direct access to CEO and leadership team
Opportunity to shape and improve financial systems
Flexible working arrangement
Growth opportunity as the business scales

Please include a brief summary of how you have improved cash flow or financial visibility in a previous role.
