Portable is a purpose-driven research, design, and technology B-Corp that works with Australian businesses, organisations, and government to drive transformational change that has a real impact on real people.

📋 Description

• Consolidated financial management across the Portable group, including five to seven trading entities, subsidiaries, and the integration of newly acquired businesses. • Monthly reporting and forecasting to the CEO, SLT, and Board, with the analytical depth to drive decisions rather than just record outcomes. • Cash and working capital management through a period of acquisition activity, integration cost, and revenue scaling. • Statutory compliance and year-end in partnership with our external accountant, including ATO relationship management and audit-readiness. • Financial support for the “buy-and-build” plan: preparing and analysing the numbers for due diligence, helping assess valuation and deal economics, and leading the finance integration once deals complete. • Banking and facilities including managing the day-to-day banking relationship, facility and covenant compliance, and debt servicing, working with the CEO on the structuring of acquisition finance. • Integration finance for acquired businesses: chart of accounts, financial reporting, working capital harmonisation, and the commercial check on whether each acquisition is delivering against its case. • Operating economics in partnership with the Director of Delivery including studio margins, utilisation, sell rates, project economics. • Pricing and commercial structure for major proposals, particularly non-standard and commercially complex deals. • Senior Leadership Team membership as an operating leader, not just a finance head. • Finance team leadership across our offshore finance operations and the external accountant relationship, with the discretion to reshape the function as the group grows. • Coaching and commercial partnership with the Director of Delivery as they grow into full operating P&L ownership over the next 12 to 18 months.

🎯 Requirements

• Senior finance experience in a services, agency, consultancy, or professional services business — ideally $15M+ in revenue — as a financial controller, finance manager, finance director, or head of finance. • Group consolidation, statutory reporting, and ATO experience in the Australian context. • Commercial fluency — you can read a P&L for what it says about pricing, utilisation, margin, and team economics, not just compliance. • Strong or emerging people leadership with the foundations in place to lead people directly and in a range of context • Some exposure to M&A — diligence, completion accounts, or integration — or the commercial foundation and a clear appetite to grow into it. • Confidence managing a banking relationship — facilities, covenants, and reporting — or the readiness to take it on. • CA or CPA qualified, working toward it, or equivalent experience. • A background in working in an agency or consulting environment and the dynamics that drive it • Technical exposure to our industry and the type of work we deliver • R&D Tax Incentive experience, particularly in software or AI.
