Part-Time Finance Manager

An established and growing Australian animal health pharmaceutical business is looking to appoint an experienced Part-Time Finance Manager.

The company operates within the animal health sector and offers a growing portfolio of products across several veterinary markets.

With a strong pipeline, an expanding product portfolio and further growth planned through new product development and potential acquisitions, the business is now looking to bring more of its Australian finance function in-house.

The role

Reporting directly to the Founder, you will take ownership of the company’s Australian finance, compliance and reporting requirements while working closely with an offshore transactional finance team.

This is a broad, hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys working in an entrepreneurial and fast-growing business.

Responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating ASIC, BAS, GST and ATO requirements
• Managing Australian tax filings and statutory compliance
• Preparing monthly financial and board reports
• Coordinating with external auditors and accounting advisers
• Reviewing costs across logistics, freight and shipping
• Providing accounting guidance to the offshore finance team
• Reviewing journal entries, adjustments, debits and credits
• Maintaining and improving asset registers
• Strengthening financial controls, reporting and internal processes
• Supporting accounting for acquisitions
• Reviewing goodwill and tangible and intangible assets
• Responding to ad hoc financial and commercial matters as the business grows

About you

You will be a mid-to-senior finance professional with strong technical accounting knowledge and the confidence to operate independently.

You will ideally bring:

• CA or CPA qualifications, or equivalent experience
• Experience within animal health, healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnology or another regulated industry
• Strong knowledge of Australian tax, BAS, GST and statutory reporting requirements
• Experience coordinating with auditors and external advisers
• Exposure to R&D tax incentives or rebates
• An understanding of acquisition accounting
• Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365
• Experience with Xero, particularly payroll-related processes
• Experience within an ASX-listed or highly governed business would be advantageous
• A practical, positive and solution-focused approach
• The ability to manage changing priorities and unexpected challenges

Why consider this opportunity?

You will join a small, supportive and highly motivated team where new ideas are welcomed.

The culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative and solutions-focused and the opportunity to work closely with the Founder.

You will have genuine ownership of the Australian finance function and the ability to influence how it develops as the business continues to grow.

The role offers:

• Permanent part-time employment
• Approximately two to three days per week
• Predominantly remote working - either Sydney or Melbourne only

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional looking for flexibility, autonomy and the chance to make a meaningful impact within a growing Australian animal health business.
