Are you an experienced Financial Controller who enjoys being more than just the person behind the numbers? Do you thrive in a hands-on environment where you can influence business decisions, improve processes and work closely with business owners?

We have an exciting opportunity to join an established Parnell-based retail business in a broad and varied Financial Controller role. Offering four days per week, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants a senior leadership position with real influence, without the commitment of a traditional five-day working week.

The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Directors, you will take ownership of the financial health and operational effectiveness of the business. This is a genuinely varied position where you'll have the opportunity to contribute beyond traditional financial reporting, helping shape business strategy, drive efficiencies and support the continued success of the organisation.

You'll be a trusted advisor, providing commercial insight, identifying opportunities and ensuring the business has the right financial systems and processes in place.
Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the full financial management function, including monthly management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis.
• Provide meaningful commercial insights and recommendations to support business performance and strategic decision-making.
• Manage cash flow, working capital, banking relationships and financial risk.
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, GST, PAYE and other financial compliance requirements.
• Prepare financial information and reporting for the Directors and Board.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, processes and operational efficiencies.
• Provide oversight across HR, recruitment, employee development and people-related processes.
• Work alongside the Operations Director to support IT systems, processes and business improvements.
• Build strong relationships across the business, fostering a positive, collaborative and accountable culture.

About You
You'll be commercially minded, proactive and comfortable operating at both a strategic and hands-on level. You're someone who enjoys taking ownership, spotting opportunities and making things happen.
Ideally, you'll bring:

• Proven experience in a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or similarly senior finance leadership position.
• Strong technical accounting and financial management capabilities.
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and commercial analysis.
• The ability to translate financial information into practical business recommendations.
• Experience overseeing broader business operations, HR or systems would be advantageous.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work closely with Directors and stakeholders.
• A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
• A genuine interest in contributing to the wider success of a business.

What's in It for You?

• Four days per week – enjoy genuine flexibility and work-life balance.
• A senior position with direct access to and influence with the Directors.
• A broad and autonomous role where you can really make your mark.
• The opportunity to influence business strategy and drive meaningful improvements.
• A collaborative team environment within an established retail business.
• A convenient Parnell location.
