Finance Manager

Are you a finance leader ready to make a real commercial impact? We’re looking for a Finance Manager who can bring rigour to reporting, turn financial insight into confident decisions, and lead a high performing team. If you combine strong technical expertise with commercial acumen, clear leadership and a drive to improve, this could be your next move.

MTF Finance is punching above its weight in the competitive finance sector, and we’re on a mission to help Kiwis do more. We’re a trusted household brand powered by local relationships, smart technology, and a bold ambition to keep growing.

About the role:

You’ll own month-end, statutory reporting, the annual audit, budgeting and cost management. You’ll strengthen controls, sharpen systems and streamline processes giving the business accurate, timely and trusted financial information. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for a technically strong accountant with commercial nous and a drive to improve. Best of all, it offers a clear pathway to Financial Controller, with growing exposure to financial strategy, capital and funding planning, and Board reporting.

• Lead statutory reporting, audit and compliance, including NZ IFRS and NZDX reporting, accounting policies, external audit delivery, tax obligations, and covenant and funder reporting support.
• Drive budgeting, forecasting and cost management, partnering with budget holders to build robust plans, monitor performance, challenge spend, identify savings, and support business cases.
• Strengthen financial controls, systems and processes, improving delegated authorities, reconciliations, transactional finance, automation, data quality, process documentation, and audit outcomes.
• Provide commercial and strategic insight, supporting financial strategy, long-term planning, capital and funding scenarios, investment evaluations, performance dashboards, and Board and investor reporting.
• Lead and collaborate, developing the Finance Operations team, building succession capability, and partnering across the business to strengthen financial understanding and accountability.

You’ll need to have:

• Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ or equivalent) with a relevant tertiary qualification (essential) the ability to coach, develop and motivate a finance team
• Strong working knowledge of NZ IFRS, and experience improving or implementing accounting systems
• Financial services or lending experience (preferred)
