A true omnichannel business, they have excelled online and in retail stores with a solid customer community focused strategy led by uniquely designed, quality products. They’ve recently invested heavily in a state-of-the-art warehouse in Loganholme that doubles as their head office. Its' on brand fitout, open plan workspace and high energy vibe creates an enticing place to come to work every day. You’ll have access to their on site gym where they host 3 trainer-led fitness classes every week.

Most importantly, this company is led by a Founder who is uber-passionate about his team and his customer, humble and open to ideas from the range of experts he employs. You’ll feel part of something in this role and, I believe, that’s the most important drawcard.
Your New Team
The team consists of the highest calibre finance professionals you’ll find in industry today. They work together – can you believe it? Together!!! The Generals don’t leave the troops to fight their battles while they go home to be fed grapes and fanned with palm fronds, they work together to complete tasks as a team. This will allow you to develop skills in other disciplines and learn how other professionals solve problems. The perfect place for an up-and-coming finance superstar.
The Financial Controller, your new manager, started her career in the Big 4. She’s top talent with a focus on developing her team and building an A-Grade finance function for LSKD. You’ll have 4 direct reports consisting of an Assistant Accountant in office and 3 transactional accounting team members offshore.
