They're also aware that they need you to help develop their experience in finance and in return, they will share their expertise and develop your knowledge of other areas of the business that fall under your guidance. And whilst you report to them, they are very keen to stress that they're looking for someone to partner with.</p><p> </p><p>Based in Milton, with parking provided, you will work in an outstanding location alongside a team of professionals that have developed a great culture. In addition, you will work closely with the Group CFO who is based in Europe and become a trusted financial advisor on Australian performance - this will also involve a trip within the next 12 months to their Head Office in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>You'll be joining a business that puts their customer first and they have created outstanding relationships with their client base; it's a unique environment that values face-to-face engagement, and they regularly host well attended company events.</p><p> </p><p><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Finance: you will manage all processes and procedures, making recommendations for improvements and implementing where necessary, performing month-end processes, working across budgets & forecasts, and providing detailed analysis on business performance.
