Interim Finance Manager

4-month contract with potential extension

Immediate Start

Sydney - Inner West

Our client is seeking an experienced Interim Finance Manager to lead a critical finance remediation project across a multi-entity organisation. This is not a traditional Finance Manager role. The successful contractor will be brought in with one clear objective: identify, investigate and rectify historical accounting issues that have accumulated over the past two years.

Your new role

• Review and remediate historical bank and balance sheet reconciliations across multiple entities
• Investigate and resolve longstanding reconciliation discrepancies
• Perform complex intercompany reconciliations and balance validations
• Identify accounting errors, inconsistencies and historical process gaps
• Support the clean-up of reporting and data issues stemming from the migration from Xero to NetSuite
• Establish a clear understanding of entity-specific accounting treatments and recommend standardisation opportunities
• Work closely with key stakeholders to provide clarity on historical financial positions
• Deliver accurate and reliable balance sheet integrity across the group

What you'll need to succeed

You will be a highly hands-on Finance Manager, Financial Controller or senior finance professional who enjoys solving complex problems and untangling messy environments.
You will have:

• Strong experience in balance sheet and bank reconciliation remediation
• Advanced intercompany accounting experience
• A forensic and investigative approach to finance
• Exceptional attention to detail and a willingness to work through large volumes of historical transactions
• Experience operating within complex multi-entity environments
• Exposure to ERP migrations or finance transformation projects
• The ability to roll up your sleeves and focus on execution from day one

This role would suit someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and takes pride in identifying issues that others have missed.
