Financial Reporting Manager - 24-Month Contract
Melbourne Inner Suburbs | 4 days in office / 1 day WFH
$160,000-$180,000 + super
This is a rare contract role - technically complex, very high-visibility, and the kind of work you won't find in a stable BAU environment - a CV story that will stand out for years.
A major FMCG business is 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
You'll stabilize financial control processes, own the balance sheet remediation across a large account population - identifying issues, building the process, and driving it to resolution. Alongside that, you'll manage a heavy statutory reporting load: multiple legal entities, a year-end process transition and a significant audit program. System migration is also likely to be in scope, including a potential move from legacy platforms to a new consolidation tool.
The business is also progressing its sustainability reporting obligations for the first time. You'll have exposure to that workstream - increasingly important for finance professionals and not something most contracts offer.
Why this role:
It's 24 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 FMCG 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
