Finance & Office Manager

4-5 days per week flexible

We are an established and growing Australian business seeking an experienced Finance and Office Manager to join our family-owned manufacturing business in Melbourne. We value a friendly, collaborative team environment and are looking for a Finance and Office Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day office and finance function and provide strong financial oversight across the business.

This is a senior, hands-on position suited to someone who is highly capable, organised and confident working autonomously. You will work closely with the business owners and management team and play an important role in ensuring our accounts, reporting and financial processes are accurate, efficient and well controlled.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing the day-to-day accounting and finance function
• Accounts payable and receivable
• Bank and credit card reconciliations
• Cash-flow management and forecasting
• Preparation of monthly management accounts and financial reports
• Budgeting, forecasting
• General ledger management and month-end processes
• Managing supplier payments and customer accounts
• Working with our external accountant and other professional advisers
• Reviewing and improving accounting procedures and internal controls
• Providing meaningful financial information to assist management with business decisions
• Supporting management with general commercial and financial matters
• Welcoming visitors and being the first point of contact at our head office.

About You

You will have strong finance experience who can confidently take ownership of the finance function.

Ideally, you will have:

• Significant experience in a senior accounting, finance manager or similar role
• Strong knowledge of MYOB AccountRight
• Excellent understanding of Australian accounting, payroll and compliance requirements
• Strong Excel skills
• Experience preparing management reports, budgets and cash-flow forecasts
• Experience working in a paperless enviroment
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills
• The confidence to identify issues and recommend better ways of doing things
• The ability to work independently while communicating effectively with business owners and management
• CPA/CA qualifications or relevant accounting qualifications highly regarded

Experience within manufacturing, recycling, industrial or privately owned businesses would be particularly advantageous.

What We’re Looking For

More than anything, we are looking for a capable, trustworthy and proactive finance professional who wants to understand the business, take responsibility for the numbers and become a valued long-term member of our team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys being close to the operations of a business rather than working in a purely corporate finance environment.

Competitive salary will be offered and negotiated based on experience and qualifications.

If you are an experienced accounting professional looking for a senior, hands-on role where you can make a genuine contribution to the business, we would love to hear from you.
