A large privately owned Queensland business is seeking a Group Finance Manager to join its leadership team in a newly created position.
Operating across multiple business divisions and sites, the organisation has experienced significant growth through acquisition and continues to expand its footprint. With a sizeable finance team and recent investment in systems and process improvement, the business is now looking for an experienced finance leader to help drive consistency, accountability and operational excellence across the function.
Reporting to a senior member of the finance leadership team, this role will play a key part in supporting the day-to-day operations of a large finance function while helping drive process improvement, team performance and reporting outcomes.
The Role
This is a role for someone who enjoys making finance teams run effectively.

- Supporting and mentoring finance team members across accounting, bookkeeping and AP
- Following up bottlenecks and ensuring issues are resolved in a timely manner
- Partnering with operational stakeholders to improve finance outcomes and business performance
- Supporting ongoing process improvements and system enhancements
- Contributing to finance initiatives, systems projects and broader business improvements
