    • Supporting ERP implementation 
    • Involvement in acquisitions and integration (local + international)
    • Budgeting and forecasting support
    • Oversight and mentoring of junior finance staff
    • General ledger ownership and balance sheet integrity
    What Makes This Different
    • Exposure to PE-backed growth and acquisition activity
    • Hands-on role in ERP transformation
    • Direct mentorship from high-performing finance leaders
    • Broad scope across a multi-entity global group
    About You
    • CA/CPA qualified
    • Big 4 or strong mid-tier training background
    • Experience in commercial environment (ideally 2–5+ years)
    • Strong technical accounting capability
    • Ambitious, adaptable, and comfortable in a changing environment
    Working Environment
    • Office-first culture with flexibility on offer (no rigid policy)
    • Collaborative, high-performing finance team
    • CBD fringe location, accessible via public transport
    This is a career-defining move for someone looking to accelerate into a senior group finance role within a high-growth, investment-backed environment.
