Group Financial Controller (Remote – Philippines)

Remote / Work From Home – PH-based | AU Hours (9:00 AM–6:00 PM AEST)

Be the strategic finance leader shaping the future of a high-growth Australian technology group.

The Group Financial Controller (GFC) is a newly created leadership role — designed not only to build discipline, strengthen controls, and ensure audit-ready compliance, but also to unlock commercial insights that drive business performance, efficiency, and growth.

You will be the CFO's right hand — leading financial operations, managing a small Philippines-based team, and ensuring timely, accurate, and defensible month-end closes across our expanding portfolio of technology services companies in multiple jurisdictions.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role for a proven finance leader who blends technical mastery with commercial acumen — someone who can get hands-on with consolidations and reconciliations while influencing strategic decisions at the leadership table.

If you're a CPA-qualified finance professional with multi-entity accounting expertise, IFRS compliance know-how, and a track record of using financial insights to improve business outcomes — we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing:

Financial Control & Close

  • Own the full accounting cycle across multiple entities.
  • Oversee journals, intercompany entries, and group eliminations.
  • Prepare consolidated reports and insightful variance commentary for executive leadership.
  • Maintain clean balance sheets, reconciliations, and GL integrity.

Compliance & Audit

  • Manage tax and statutory filings (BAS, GST, payroll tax, etc.).
  • Lead audit readiness: PBC prep, reconciliations, and variance analysis.
  • Ensure accounting policies align with IFRS and AU/NZ regulations.

Commercial Insight & Business Partnering

  • Translate financial data into actionable insights that inform strategic decisions.
  • Support cashflow forecasting, board packs, and M&A integration workstreams.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the CFO and senior leadership, influencing growth initiatives.

Process Improvement

  • Eliminate manual workarounds in AP, AR, and payroll processes.
  • Maintain finance documentation (e.g., SOPs in Confluence).
  • Support system upgrades and automation initiatives to scale operations.

Team Leadership

  • Supervise and mentor a small PH-based finance team.
  • Build a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

You Might Be a Fit If You Are:

  • CPA-qualified with 7–10+ years in finance, audit, or controllership roles (or 3–4+ years in a similar senior finance leadership role).
  • Proven track record of using financial insights to improve commercial outcomes and support business growth.
  • Technically strong in IFRS, multi-entity consolidations, and audit preparation.
  • Experienced with Australian tax and compliance standards (preferred).
  • A hands-on, detail-oriented leader with sound judgment and a proactive mindset.
  • Comfortable in a remote-first, fast-paced environment with evolving structures.
  • Tools experience: Xero/MYOB, Google Workspace, Office 365, Slack, Confluence, ATO Business Portal, Power BI (basic).
