First things first let's get this one thing out of the way, this role is based in Kalgoorlie. It isn't FIFO from Perth, so, if that's what you are looking for then this isn't the role for you.
HOWEVER...
If you are an experienced Finance Manager seeking the opportunity to get your hands dirty again in a fast moving business, then this could be just what you are looking for.
My client sees their growth continuing on its current trajectory for the foreseeable future and will need a FM that can help grow, guide and develop along with it.
THE CLIENT
One thing you have to know about this client is that they genuinely care about their people. The saying "They treat you like family" can always be good or bad depending on your past experiences! At my client it means that you are given the respect you deserve and get to work in an environment where everyone gets along, works towards a common goal and you are seen as a person, not just an employee.
They hold regular get-togethers with the team, from a quarterly sundowner through to a brilliant Christmas Party (with families) and even organise some team weekends away!
THE FINANCE PART
So this is the part of the ad where you get the bullet-pointed list of key responsibilities, I haven't figured out a way to get to get away from this yet and know it is the equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation, so sorry... but here we go!
-Preparing management and financial reports and recommending improvements.
-Providing budgeting support to different departments.
