Role Purpose
The purpose of this role is to strengthen and scale the finance function as the business grows. You’ll take ownership of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, KPIs, cash flow and treasury, while building robust processes and improving existing ways of working. The role will provide greater financial visibility across the group, helping teams understand performance and enabling better commercial decision-making. You’ll also support entity management, statutory filings, equity and debt reporting, and finance system improvements. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and building effective finance processes within a fast-moving, scaling business.
Key Responsibilities

- Design reporting for each new business sector, monitor and develop.
- Lead implementation of new policies and rules as the business scales.
- Assist the management accountant with reporting requirements.
