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.
