CFO | SME Growth Story | $170-220k+Super + STI28th October, 2024 Your New Company
Enjoy the best of both worlds - an established brand name company with national footprint who is currently undergoing a growth spurt.
After decades of successful operations, newly appointed executive leadership is coming in to take the company to the next level aggressively, which includes hiring its first ever 'CFO'.
Driving growth through market expansion, inorganic M&A transactions, and added services.
With over 500 full time + casual staff, a Perth HQ, and presence across Australia, this is the Company you can call home away from home for a long time.
Your New Role
As an SME CFO role, you'll wear many hats!
Especially given you are the first in company history.
You'll be able to build on external consultants work to date in accounting systems (Xero), payroll (ADP), operational systems, monthly management reporting, capital management, post merger integrations, ongoing strategy and execution, commercial decision support.
You will have a small team of transactional support on arrival, but will be expected to act as an accountant initially - hands-on the tools the first 6-12 months, can't hide behind your title of CFO in a corner office, you need to do what needs doing first.
Get things done will be your mantra, diligence your watch word, and drive the corporatisation of quite a relaxed yet professional environment.
Your Profile
Any qualified accountant CFO candidate can do debits & credits, for this appointment you'll need to bring an engaging personality, demonstrated success in supporting a growing company strategically (perhaps up to $100-200m or more), and know what good looks like.
You will have developed processes, systems, reporting, compliance to scale for growth previously.
You have examples of hiring and developing high performing teams.
You are proactive, ambitious, a problem solver (none too big, nor too small), enjoy autonomy, and enjoy being 2IC to the CEO/MD with whole of business performance in mind.
You are the CFO of tomorrow - visionary, commercial minded, strategic, and enjoyable to work with.
You are the full package of IQ (intelligent), EQ (empathetic), CQ (commercially astute).
You may come from small, medium or large company background, be a first time CFO or 5th time CFO, what is most important is you want to be in an emerging SME and have a long term view.
