Financial Controller (Reporting, Governance & Compliance)

Your Opportunity:

If you're a Financial Controller who wants more than just reporting deadlines and compliance cycles, this is a role where you'll genuinely influence how a business operates and grows.

You'll work directly with a highly capable CFO and alongside the CEO, taking ownership of financial control while helping shape the frameworks, discipline, and insights that underpin business performance.

This is a business that is growing, evolving, and becoming more sophisticated and they need someone who can build structure, challenge thinking, and bring confidence to decision-making at board and investor level.

Your Role:

As Financial Controller, you'll be the lead for financial integrity, governance, and statutory reporting across the group.

This is a hands-on highly visible role in a lean team, where you'll balance technical excellence with commercial awareness, ensuring the business is not only compliant, but set up to scale.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and strengthening internal controls, governance, and compliance
• Leading external audits and maintaining audit readiness
• Managing monthly, quarterly, and statutory reporting (AASB / IFRS)
• Signing off on month-end and ensuring balance sheet integrity
• Acting as the key advisor on technical accounting matters
• Mentoring and supporting a Financial Accountant
• Driving improvements across systems, processes, and reporting frameworks
• Supporting cash flow, capital, and funding reporting
• Partnering with senior stakeholders on strategic and growth initiatives

About You:

You're a technically strong Financial Controller (or a Senior Finance Manager) who takes ownership and operates with credibility and sound judgement.

You're confident working with senior stakeholders, able to challenge constructively, and comfortable being hands-on in a lean environment.

You will bring:

• CA / CPA qualification
• Strong experience in financial control, reporting, and compliance
• A track record of owning governance and internal controls
• Experience leading audits and managing external advisors
• The ability to communicate clearly and influence non-finance stakeholders
• A mindset focused on continuous improvement and building scalable processes
