We empower ambitious startups, scaling SMEs, corporate enterprises, and government-funded organisations by integrating senior financial and operational leadership with a high-performance delivery model built to exceed Australian and international standards.

Each team member is trained to exceed Australian business standards, ensuring quality and consistency from day one.

We welcome applications from diverse backgrounds and are committed to building inclusive, client-focused teams that consistently exceed expectations.

The Role

This is not a traditional Finance Role. We are looking for a Finance & Commercial Manager with outstanding leadership, client relationship, and analytical skills to join our high-performing global team. This senior, client-facing role requires confidence, commercial acumen, and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight, while delivering innovative Business Solutions that drive value for our clients.

This role sits at the intersection of financial leadership, project management, and business consulting. You will take ownership of complex financial engagements, lead delivery teams, and work directly with clients to influence decisions that shape growth, performance, and long-term sustainability.

You will lead strategic finance delivery across a portfolio of fast-moving businesses while building long-term trust through insight, clarity, and partnership.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary contact for senior clients, building long-term partnerships based on trust and accountability.
• Advise business owners and senior leaders on profitability, cash flow, risk, and growth strategies.
• Lead strategic finance delivery across portfolio of fast-moving businesses, influencing decisions that shape client
success.
• Identify risks and opportunities early, guiding clients toward commercially sound decisions.
• Deliver innovative Business Solutions that enhance growth, performance, and long-term sustainability.
• Lead and progress new client and internal projects by quickly understanding new scopes of work, translating
requirements into clear actions, and driving delivery through to completion.
• Manage finance-led projects including restructures, system implementations, and process improvements.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver outcomes on time and to standard.
• Build financial models, business cases, and strategic plans aligned to client objectives.
• Lead financial management, reporting, forecasting, and analysis across diverse global clients.

What We’re Looking For

We are not just hiring a title. We are looking for a problem solver, a strategic thinker, and a trusted advisor.
• Fully qualified (CPA, CIMA, ACCA, CA or equivalent)
• Minimum 3+ years in a finance manager role (preferably in consulting, advisory, or multinational business environments)
and 10+ years in finance overall
• Exceptional communication skills both written and verbal, especially with Western clients
• High emotional intelligence and resilience open to feedback and driven to grow.
• Analytical, commercially sharp, and confident in making recommendations.
• Efficient, prioritised, and outcome-focused not someone who needs micromanaging.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, global environment
• Ability to drive efficiency through smart use of finance systems, integrations, and automation tools


What We Offer
We’re not just hiring for a job we’re building global careers. Here’s what sets us apart:
• Competitive, above-market base salaries
• Performance-based bonuses and increment opportunities.
• Paid leave with cash-out flexibility.
• Company sponsored holiday packages for top performers (local and global destinations, with family)
• Referral programs that generate passive income exceeding six figures over 10+ years
• Monthly virtual team get-togethers with paid refreshments for family
• Career progression across national and international markets

Monthly Performance Bonus
This role includes a structured monthly performance bonus in addition to your base salary, designed to reward both your individual delivery and the commercial output of your project team.
How it works:
• The bonus operates on a progressive tier framework - as the company achieves higher collective weekly billable targets,
greater portions of your bonus are unlocked. Your reward grows alongside the team's overall performance.
• Your individual bonus is earned by consistently achieving your personal weekly billable target across the full calendar
month.
• A separate team bonus component rewards you for the combined billable output of your project team - recognizing
your role as a manager who drives team performance, not just your own delivery.
• Bonuses are assessed at the end of each calendar month and paid with the following month's payroll, supplementary to
your base salary.

This structure recognizes both what you deliver individually and the commercial results you generate as a manager - rewarding you for building a high-performing team, not just completing your own work.

Salary
At SandS Australia, this role presents a unique career development opportunity, offering unparalleled global growth prospects and exposure. We are seeking individuals driven by the potential for long-term professional growth and the valuable international experience that comes with it. This is not just a position for those seeking monetary rewards, but for those who aspire to make a significant impact on a global scale. We encourage candidates to align their salary expectations with industry standards, reflecting the competitive nature of the role. Those who are not shortlisted based on the criteria are respectfully advised to revisit this opportunity after 12 months, ensuring a fair and sustainable hiring process for all.

Final remuneration will be determined based on performance across the assessment process and final interview in line with benchmarks.

Payment can be made in AUD, equivalent to your local currency.

Assessment Process

We believe in capability, not guesswork.
Our selection process includes three focused assessments designed to identify the best-fit talent:
• Technical & Accuracy – Evaluates your ability to understand completely new tasks, apply newly gathered information
effectively, and produce accurate, detail-oriented outcomes
• Communication & Relationships – Assesses how well you interpret client expectations and respond in a way that builds
trust, meets demands, and strengthens professional rapport
• Efficiency & Prioritisation – Measures your ability to stay organised and think clearly under time pressure, while
maintaining accuracy and applying practical judgement to prioritise tasks
All assessments reflect real role scenarios - practical, focused, and purposeful.

Candidates who successfully complete all assessments will progress to a final interview centred on leadership mindset, feedback openness, and expectation alignment.
Only candidates genuinely committed to excelling through a rigorous, high-standard process are encouraged to apply.
