Hunter Manning is proud to be exclusively partnering with a prominent, privately owned business to appoint a talented Financial Controller to their Perth-based finance leadership team.

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a well-established, fast-paced business with a strong reputation as a commercially ambitious and people-focused organisation.

About the role
Reporting to the CFO, this is a senior, hands-on role at the heart of the finance function. You will take ownership of financial operations across the business — partnering closely with operations and commercial teams to drive performance and support strategic growth.

Key responsibilities:
  • Leading the preparation of monthly management accounts and statutory reporting in line with AASB/IFRS
  • Ensuring strong internal controls and compliance with regulatory obligations
  • Coordinating annual audits and managing relationships with external auditors and tax advisors
  • Owning the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes across all business units
  • Delivering detailed variance analysis with clear commercial commentary to senior leadership
  • Managing cash flow forecasting, capex planning, and banking relationships
  • Leading and developing a capable finance team, driving a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Championing automation and process improvement across finance operations and reporting systems
About you:
  • CPA or CA qualification (essential)
  • 5–8 years of progressive senior finance experience
  • A track record of leading high-performing finance teams
  • Advanced Excel skills and solid ERP experience (NetSuite, SAP, Pronto, or similar)
  • Strong commercial instincts and the ability to communicate financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders
  • A hands-on, pragmatic style — comfortable operating across all levels of the business
Why this role?
  • A highly competitive remuneration package: $150,000–$180,000 base + superannuation + performance bonus
  • A business widely regarded as a great place to work — collaborative, energetic, and genuinely people-focused
  • Real scope to make an impact within a business of genuine scale
  • A senior leadership team that is supportive, commercially driven, and invested in developing their people
This is an exclusive assignment. All applications and enquiries are to be directed to Hunter Manning in strict confidence.
