As Financial Controller, you will lead all day-to-day finance operations, oversee a small accounting team and ensure the delivery of accurate financial reporting, compliance, forecasting and financial governance. Working closely with the General Manager, you will act as a trusted adviser, providing insights that support strategic and commercial decision-making across a varied portfolio of entities.

  • Provide financial modelling and commercial analysis to support investments, growth initiatives and strategic projects.
  • Lead, mentor and develop the small finance team.
  • Drive continuous improvement across systems, reporting and finance processes.
What you'll need to succeed
  • CA or CPA qualified.
  • Proven experience as a Financial Controller, Senior Finance Manager or similar leadership role.
  • Strong technical accounting, financial reporting and compliance expertise.
  • Demonstrated experience managing taxation obligations and external advisers.
  • Advanced financial modelling and commercial analysis capability.
  • A proactive, hands-on leader who enjoys working closely with decision-makers.
  • Ability to operate effectively within a dynamic, entrepreneurial and relationship-driven environment.
  • Experience working within a Family Office, privately owned group, investment environment or complex multi-entity structure with exposure to tax, governance and board reporting will be highly regarded.
  • What you'll get in return
    • Unique exposure to a sophisticated Family Office environment.
    • Direct partnership with an experienced General Manager.
    • Broad role spanning finance, tax, governance and investments.
    • Opportunity to influence and shape the future finance function.
    • Long-term career growth as the role evolves across broader Family Office activities.
    • Perth CBD location with parking available.
    • Attractive annual salary and benefits, including flexible working arrangements.
