About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller to oversee month-end financial reporting and quality assurance across a portfolio of Australian business clients.
This is a review-focused role where you will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of financial information. Working closely with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Sri Lanka-based development team, you will provide financial oversight, review management reports, and contribute to the continuous improvement of automated finance processes.
Rather than focusing on transactional accounting or bookkeeping, you will act as a key financial reviewer, identifying discrepancies, validating financial results, and ensuring clients receive accurate, insightful reporting.
About the Client
You will be working with an Australian financial services and technology-driven organisation that delivers outsourced finance operations to businesses across the construction, trades, professional services, and broader services sectors.
The organisation combines accounting expertise with technology-enabled financial processes to provide comprehensive financial management services, including accounts payable, reconciliations, month-end reporting, and financial oversight.
Operating on a proprietary platform built using Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365, the business places a strong emphasis on automation, accuracy, and operational efficiency.
You will collaborate with finance professionals in Australia and a technology development team in Sri Lanka, contributing to an environment where financial expertise and software innovation work closely together.
