Senior Finance Manager / Management Accountant (AU client)

Overview

This role supports an end-to-end B2B SaaS organization building specialized workforce management software spanning scheduling, compliance, time tracking, invoicing, and payroll. The organization operates in a high-volume, multi-entity environment with rapid international expansion and strategic acquisitions. Finance operations are being brought fully in-house to support scalable, long-term growth.

Working closely with executive leadership, this position takes ownership of financial consolidations, month-end close optimization, SaaS performance metrics, and commercial analysis. The ideal candidate will approach finance with a Financial Controller mindset—challenging assumptions, removing operational bottlenecks, and providing clear financial visibility for executive decision-making.

Financial close, reporting & multi-entity consolidation

• Own the end-to-end month-end close cycle, including journal entries, accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations, and consolidated financial reporting.
• Lead the transition of financial close and reporting activities from external advisers to the internal finance function.
• Audit and streamline close workflows to reduce month-end closing timelines from 2–3 weeks.
• Prepare accurate, consolidated profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports across multiple domestic and international entities while maintaining audit-ready documentation.

Management accounting & commercial analysis

• Perform budget-versus-actual and month-on-month variance analyses, investigating root causes rather than only reporting results.

• Partner with executive leadership to evaluate operational margins, identify financial risks, and translate complex financial data into actionable growth strategies.

SaaS performance metrics & revenue recognition

• Track, analyze, and report key SaaS metrics including MRR, ARR, churn, customer retention, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and customer lifetime value (LTV).
• Reconcile subscription, recurring billing, and usage data with core management accounts in alignment with revenue recognition principles.

Acquisitions & process transformation

• Support post-acquisition financial integrations, harmonizing accounting policies, chart of accounts, and financial frameworks across acquired businesses.
• Audit existing financial workflows, identify manual bottlenecks, and implement automation tools and robust internal controls.
• Coach and uplift bookkeeping and operational finance team members by establishing clear procedures, responsibilities, and reporting deadlines.

Requirements
