Financial Reporting Manager - 12-Month Contract
Melbourne Inner Suburbs | 4 days in office / 1 day WFH
$130,000-$150,000 + super
This is a hands-on contract role sitting inside a major business mid-transition following a significant acquisition. The finance function is being stood up from scratch: new systems, new legal entities, new reporting lines, and a balance sheet that needs serious remediation.
What you'll work on
Your time will be split across BAU and non-BAU workstreams - both running simultaneously.
On the BAU side, you'll deliver statutory financial reporting including sustainability reporting, prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations across all relevant entities, complete opening balance sheet reviews, and be a key driver of the external audit program - preparing schedules and managing responses through to completion.
Alongside that, you'll play an active role in the transition itself: supporting programme set-up and mobilisation, presenting conclusions on balance sheet and control issues identified through remediation, driving implementation of new and enhanced reporting requirements, and supporting process stabilisation and knowledge transfer as the role concludes.
Why this role:
It's 12 months of work that will add real weight to your CV.
You'll get exposure to complexity that a stable corporate won't give you - multiple entities, a parent group with international reporting requirements, sustainability reporting, and the inside view of how a globally recognised brand integrates post-acquisition. The work itself spans legal entity restructuring, consolidation changes, purchase price allocation, balance sheet remediation, and a significant audit program - all happening simultaneously, and all genuinely shaping how the business operates going forward.
