Finance Manager

Built for a finance professional who wants to own the function end-to-end and work directly alongside the CEO.

About the Role

Ebert Investment Group is growing, and we need a dedicated finance professional. As Finance Manager, you will have full ownership of financial reporting, statutory compliance and governance across a diversified, multi-entity investment portfolio — working in direct partnership with the CEO to deliver commercial insight and drive sound financial decision‑making across the group.

This is a hands‑on senior role with no direct reports. What there is, is genuine scope to build, improve and shape a finance function that scales with a business that is moving fast and thinking long term.

If you are a CA/CPA who thrives on ownership, enjoys working lean and wants your expertise to sit at the highest level of the organisation, this is the role you have been waiting for.

• Ensure all statutory obligations are met — tax, ASIC, audit and regulatory
• Maintain and enhance accounting policies, internal controls and governance frameworks
• Manage external auditors, tax advisors and regulatory stakeholders
• Own cash flow reporting, forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis
• Partner with operational managers to deliver commercially focused financial insights
• Drive improvements in accounting systems, automation and reporting processes

• Proven experience in a senior corporate or group accounting role
• Strong knowledge of IFRS, statutory reporting and governance frameworks
• Exposure to investment, fund management or asset‑based businesses — highly regarded
• Comfortable operating independently in a lean, high‑trust environment

• Access to a social club and a workplace that genuinely invests in its people
• EAP assist programme for supporting mental health and wellbeing
