* Having completed eleven acquisitions over the past seven years—and with an aggressive growth plan underway—this is a rare executive opportunity to be at the heart of strategic decision-making, partnering with the CEO, Board, and leadership team to accelerate growth and innovation in a thriving, expansion-focused enterprise.
* This organisation combines the scale to provide robust support and resources with the agility that enables a strategic CFO to influence decision-making at the highest level.
The Company
* Our client distributes a diversified range of industrial and consumer products across commercial, trade, and retail segments, operating multiple specialist brands through a nationwide network of company owned and independent retailer assets. With exclusive relationships for global product lines and an appetite for continued acquisition, this business has a vibrant, growth-oriented culture.
Key Responsibilities
* Financial Strategy & Planning - Develop and implement group-wide financial strategies that support ambitious revenue, profit, and M&A goals. Lead budgeting, forecasting, and capital allocation to accelerate both organic and acquisition-led growth.
* Corporate Financial Management - Oversee group financial reporting and compliance with ASX regulations. Manage debt facilities, working capital, and liquidity strategies to maintain a robust balance sheet and fund new initiatives.
* Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) - Lead due diligence and integration for acquisitions, assessing synergies and ensuring smooth assimilation. Oversee financial structuring for new investments, partnerships, and potential divestitures.
* Risk Management & Compliance - Ensure adherence to tax laws, regulatory requirements, and corporate governance standards. Oversee internal controls, audit processes, and risk mitigation strategies to safeguard the organisation’s assets and reputation.
* Corporate Reporting & Investor Relations - Provide accurate, timely reporting to the Board, leadership team, ASX, and external stakeholders. Collaborate with auditors and advisors, supporting shareholder communications and investor presentations.
* Leadership & Collaboration - Work closely with the Managing Director & CEO, Board, and divisional CFOs to shape the broader strategic roadmap. Offer insight and guidance to both finance and non-finance teams, fostering cross-functional alignment on key initiatives.
Candidate Profile
* Seasoned CFO with a strategic mindset and proven leadership experience in distribution, FMCG, or similar fast-paced product environments (industry experience preferred but not essential).
* Excellent communication skills, capable of unifying teams around a cohesive financial vision and inspiring confidence across the organisation.
* Strong background in treasury, working capital management, and corporate financial management, with solid exposure to ASX reporting requirements.
* M&A expertise (due diligence, integration) is highly regarded, as the company continues to expand aggressively.
* Demonstrated ability to optimise cost structures, enhance profitability, and present complex financial concepts to senior leaders, Board members, and investors.
What’s on Offer
* High Visibility & Influence: Shape strategic decisions at the Board level and across the executive suite.
