The opportunity

This is a rare opportunity for a skilled and qualified Chartered Accountant ready to step into full ownership of a finance function, not a slice of one. As Financial Controller at Asseti, you'll be the most senior finance professional in the business day-to-day, reporting directly to the CEO. You'll own finance end to end, and sit at the centre of how the business is funded, with a clear path to CFO as you prove yourself.

The role

The Finance Manager is the operational finance lead for Asseti Group, based in Sydney. You'll have full responsibility for financial control, reporting, compliance, payroll, and treasury across the Group. Beyond the day-to-day, you'll be deeply involved in the company's capital raising and funding strategy, continuing to build the investor-grade financial infrastructure, models, and reporting that underpin every conversation with current and prospective investors.

What you will do

• Oversee the full AP and AR cycle across the Group and maintain finance system integrity in systems across all entities
• Maintain and improve the finance stack and build scalable workflows and controls to support audit readiness
• Own all statutory compliance across every jurisdiction the Group operates in, coordinating with external advisors and staying ahead of obligations as we expand
• Own end-to-end payroll across all entities, accurate, compliant, and on time
• Manage all banking, FX, payment runs, cash flow forecasting, and liquidity, with appropriate treasury controls and authorisation frameworks
• Own the general ledgers across the Group, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and integrity of the financial records at all times
• Lead the monthly close end to end and prepare consolidated management accounts and reporting packs for the CEO, Board, and investors
• Manage multi-currency, multi-entity consolidation and lead the Group budget, Actuals vs Budget, and Forecast vs Actual analysis
• Build and own the Group financial model as a live decision-making tool, with the metrics and unit economics leadership and investors care about
• Build and own the investor-grade financial infrastructure that capital raising depends on, including the financial model, data room, and reporting packs
• Work directly with the CEO on the funding needs of the business, from runway and burn through to scenario planning and capital requirements
• Maintain rolling cash flow forecasts and funding models that show how much capital the business needs and when
• Support due diligence end to end and translate performance into a clear, credible financial narrative for investors and the Board

What you will bring

• CA or CPA qualified, with Big 4 or mid-tier public practice training and 5 to 8 years post-qualification experience
• Demonstrated ownership of a multi-entity general ledger and monthly close, you have signed off on numbers, not just prepared them
• Exposure to capital raising, investor reporting, or due diligence, and the appetite to own it
• Strong financial modelling skills, you can build and maintain a model leadership and investors actually rely on
• Hands-on Australian statutory compliance experience, plus working knowledge of multi-jurisdictional tax and payroll
• Confident managing treasury operations and strong working knowledge of Xero across multiple entities
• Commercially minded, with high attention to detail and the ability to operate independently in a lean team

Bonus points for:

• Experience in a SaaS or high-growth technology company, and familiarity with SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, subscription rev rec)
• Direct involvement in a fundraising process, investor due diligence, or building an investor data room
• Experience with R&D tax incentive claims across multiple jurisdictions
• Experience leading an external audit process as the primary finance contact

At Asseti, you won't be a Finance Manager in a large team where someone else makes the calls, you'll be the most senior finance professional in the business day-to-day, with full accountability across control, compliance, payroll, treasury, reporting, and the financial foundation of how the company is funded. Capital raising and the funding needs of the business sit at the heart of this role, and you'll be central to building the investor-grade infrastructure and financial narrative that define the next chapter of the company.
