The roleYou have probably been the first finance hire somewhere growing quickly: closing the books, running payroll, building the board pack, modelling runway before a raise, and fixing whatever broke that week. This is that, across a portfolio of companies, with the machine-building on top.Half the job is owning your clients: their numbers, their obligations, their cash, and the founder who messages you directly and acts on what you say. Half is what surrounds it. New clients arrive messy, on the wrong system, with obligations already overdue, and you rebuild them properly. Our team produces the day-to-day work and you are the standard it is held to. When you solve something once, you turn it into method so the firm never solves it twice.

The commercial calls are yours too: whether a surcharge gets absorbed or passed on, whether a financing facility is worth what it costs, what the stock position really implies about the next two years. You work with clients wherever they are, in Australian hours, with about a day a week at their Sydney offices when it matters.

• What you'll doRun the finance function for each business in your portfolio: close, obligations, payroll oversight, cash, all of it owned by you.
• Rebuild what arrives broken: migrations onto sensible systems, ledgers with a thousand unreconciled lines, lodgements missed months ago.
• Be the founder's finance counterpart on the decisions that matter, same day, no relay.
• Set the standard over the work our team prepares before it reaches a client.
• Write the firm's method as you go: playbooks, automation, the way a modern finance business should actually run.

• Who we're afterYou have owned an Australian finance function end to end, quite possibly as the only finance person in the building.
• CA or CPA, three or more years of that ownership, including lodging the BAS yourself and carrying payroll.
• Founder-fluent. You turn numbers into a recommendation and hold your position when it is tested.
• Energised by a mess. A clean ledger on a loop is the job you already left.
• AI is how you work, not a policy you read. Days, not weeks, is your natural speed.
• You want to build this one, not collect a title and leave.
• Early enough in your arc that this is a step up with room to run.
