Due to continued growth, a newly created opportunity has arisen for a talented Finance Manager to join a collaborative, high-calibre finance team. This role offers broad exposure across corporate and fund accounting, financial and management reporting, tax, and investment operations – ideal for a technically strong accountant seeking to build their career in a pivotal leadership role within the investment management space.

• Reviewing fund-related transactions including NAVs, distributions, and capital flows in collaboration with external administrators
• Leading investor and shareholder reporting, including periodic ASX disclosures
• Partnering with key stakeholders across the business and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives in finance systems, processes, and controls

Your Background
  
You will be a driven and detail-oriented finance professional with:

• CA qualified – career beginnings in Big 4 or a leading mid-tier accounting firm, building a solid grounding in financial reporting and controls
• Proven leadership experience managing staff in a financial reporting environment
• Background in funds management or adjacent sectors is essential – possibly, we will consider a high-performer outside of the sector who can prove they have a genuine passion to build expertise in this space
