Reporting directly to the Business Manager and CEO, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Provide input and support to the strategic growth and development of the business.
• Prepare financial reports, including sales performance against budget, cost of goods, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and inter-entity consolidation.
• Oversee the budget process and other forecasting requirements to drive commercial sustainability and foster informed decision-making.
• Manage payroll, superannuation and leave liability.
• Monitor and manage cash flow and provide accurate cashflow forecasts.
• Create and deliver insightful commentary, analysis, and reports on the company's performance to the management team.
• Manage wine taxation and ATO reporting requirements.
• Work with the business manager to ensure optimal alignment of ERP systems, including SAP B1 software.
• Supervise finance team members.
• Proactively seek improvement in finance management processes, efficiencies, analysis and planning.

Our preference is to engage a resident of the southwest region; however, we are open to applicants from Perth under the provision that they be willing to undertake regular travel as required for the role.
