Financial Controller (Full-Time or Part-Time)

Location: Remote (APAC time zones preferred)

Compensation:AUD 3,500 – 4,500 per month (depending on experience and engagement model)

We are hiring a hands-on Financial Controller to take full ownership of the finance function across two growing businesses:

• Roomstay – a fast-growing SaaS platform serving the hotel industry
• Dijitally – a digital marketing agency delivering performance-driven services

Operating across Australia, the UK, and Ireland, both businesses run within a multi-entity, multi-currency environment, requiring strong financial structure, operational discipline, and commercial insight.

This role is ideal for a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys owning finance operations end-to-end, improving systems and workflows, and providing clear financial visibility to leadership.

This is not a traditional finance role focused purely on month-end reporting. You will be responsible for bringing control, structure, visibility, and efficiency to the entire finance function.

What You'll Be Responsible For

End-to-End Finance Ownership

Take full ownership of finance operations across both businesses, including:

• Managing invoicing across multiple entities
• Bank and corporate card reconciliations
• Accounts receivable and collections
• Supplier payments and payment runs
• Maintaining accurate financial records in Xero
• Managing multi-currency transactions and FX platforms such as Airwallex or equivalent

Payroll & Compliance

Ensure payroll and compliance processes run smoothly for an international team.

Responsibilities include:

• Overseeing payroll operations
• Ensuring compliance with:
  • BAS / GST / PAYG obligations
  • Payroll and statutory requirements
• Coordinating with external accountants for filings and statutory reporting

Monthly Reporting

Prepare structured management reporting packs with insights leadership can act on.

Reporting includes:

• Revenue by entity and business segment
• Gross margin analysis (especially agency delivery)
• Operating costs and profitability
• Cash position and movement

You'll ensure reporting is:

Clear

Structured

Decision-ready

Cashflow & Forecasting

Build and maintain rolling cashflow forecasts to provide visibility on:

• Expected inflows and outflows
• Cash constraints and risks
• Working capital requirements

Commercial Finance & Insight

Act as a trusted finance partner to the founder.

You'll help:

• Analyse client and project profitability
• Track SaaS revenue performance
• Identify margin leakage
• Highlight cost inefficiencies
• Provide proactive recommendations

We need someone who goes beyond reporting and helps drive better business decisions.

Process & Control

Design and implement scalable finance processes across both businesses.

This includes:

• Improving efficiency and reducing manual work
• Creating structured workflows for billing and collections
• Improving intercompany accounting processes
• Introducing clear ownership and accountability across finance activities

A key objective is to reduce founder involvement in day-to-day finance operations by building reliable, system-led processes.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Qualified accountant (CA / ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• 5+ years' experience as a Financial Controller, Finance Manager, or similar senior finance role
• Strong experience with Xero
• Experience managing multi-entity and multi-currency finance operations
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets capability
• Hands-on mindset — comfortable executing as well as leading
• Strong communication skills in a remote environment

Highly Desirable

• Experience in agency / services businesses
• Experience in SaaS or subscription-based revenue models
• Experience managing offshore or outsourced finance support
• Familiarity with Airwallex, Wise, or similar FX/payment platforms

Why Join Us?

• Fully remote role with flexible working arrangements
• Choose a structure that suits you: full-time, part-time, contract, or fixed-term
• Work directly with the founder and influence strategic decisions
• Opportunity to build and shape the finance function from the ground up
• Join two ambitious, fast-growing digital businesses with global operations

If you enjoy bringing order to complexity, improving financial visibility, and helping leadership make smarter decisions — we'd love to hear from you.
