Christchurch or Auckland based

Are you up for a new challenge for 2024?

What’s life like at Southbase:

At Southbase, you will be surrounded by knowledgeable professionals who support each other and have a laugh along the way, who treat the project as their own, with a determination to deliver and exceed clients’ expectations. We are proud of the culture we have created and look to continue to bring in the very best to be part of our story. We invest in our people and have genuine leadership and development opportunities available to go with competitive salaries.

What's this role about?

Due to current and forecast growth and diversification plans, the intention is for interim resource to enhance the existing team, reporting to the Group CFO and partnering with the business (Christchurch and Auckland teams), to support financial and commercial analysis. There’ll also be a focus on progressing an existing software implementation project – this will provide exposure and insight business-wide. Ideally, depending on experience, the role will contribute to executive and board level reporting and partnering, enabling a more strategic and project focus for the CFO.

Qualifications

From a CA background providing a solid platform for your technical financial expertise, you’ll bring industry experience ideally from the construction sector, or aligned, project-accounting environments such as manufacturing, infrastructure or related. Project and change experience will be valuable in implementing software which will positively impact cashflow modelling across the business. With a thirst to learn and curious to understand specific business levers, you’re commercially astute and confident to engage across levels, highlighting opportunities and inspiring your audience through meaningful information and metric-driven recommendations.
