The Opportunity
This is a rare role for a finance professional who wants genuine ownership without layers of bureaucracy above them. You'll be the Finance Manager for a dual-market consumer products business — responsible for keeping the numbers tight, the models current, and the leadership team well-informed.
You'll report directly to the Operations Director and work alongside a full-time bookkeeper and AR/AP team member. External tax and accounting firms in both Australia and the US handle local compliance in each market, so you're not expected to be a tax expert in either jurisdiction — you're the internal hub who keeps everything coordinated and running.
If you want a role where you can see the direct impact of your work on a real, growing business — this is it.
What You'll Do
Day-to-day financial operations
• Own month-end close and prepare monthly reporting packs
• Review reconciliations from the bookkeeper and outsourced providers
• Manage cash flow across Australia and the US, keeping close watch on inventory, working capital, and FX
• Process and review payroll obligations in both the US and Australia, including employee on-costs and Share Plan calculations
• Supervise the bookkeeper and AR/AP team member, reviewing their work and keeping standards high
• Maintain and iterate on existing 3-way financial models and rolling forecasts
• Prepare quarterly and annual financial reports and board pack financials
Compliance & systems
• Coordinate with our external AU and US tax firms — you're the internal point of contact, managing information flow and deadlines across both markets
• Maintain and optimise our system integrations: Xero, Cin7, Shopify, Stripe, and Airwallex
• Manage banking relationships and ensure we're meeting all financial compliance obligations
• Maintain internal controls that protect the integrity of our financial data
Commercial support
• Partner with the Operations Director and department heads to provide financial analysis that drives better decisions
• Analyse pricing and customer profitability across our retail and wholesale channels
• Track gross margin performance and support initiatives to improve it
• Manage product costing and manufacturing accounting across our warehouse and production facility
• Support capital raise preparation with clean, current financial data and models
What We're Looking For
• 6+ years of experience in finance, with a track record of operating independently across a broad scope
• CPA qualified — this is a requirement
• Comfortable owning a lot: you don't need to be told what to do next; you figure it out
• Experience with Xero and multi-integration reconciliation strongly preferred
• Familiarity with inventory management systems (Cin7 or similar) is a strong advantage
• Experience in e-commerce, consumer products, retail, or manufacturing environments is highly desirable
• Exposure to multi-jurisdiction or multi-entity finance is advantageous — deep tax knowledge in AU or US is not required
• Strong communicator — you'll be working with a globally distributed team and external advisors across multiple time zones
• Detail-oriented and proactive, with a low tolerance for things falling through the cracks
Why Join Us
• Real ownership — you're not a cog, you're running the finance function
• A product and brand you can be proud of
• A small, values-driven team that operates without ego
• Direct access to leadership and visibility across the whole business
• The challenge and variety that comes with a scaling, multi-market business
Our Values
• Focussed & Determined – Relentless in our pursuit to build something special.
• Curious – We challenge the status quo and embrace learning.
• Thrive on Change – We stay optimistic and agile in the face of challenges.
• No Ego – We work as one team, supporting each other to do the right thing.
