About the role 

We are seeking a hands-on Finance Manager (FP&A) to join our finance team. This is a critical role responsible for driving our budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis processes. You’ll work closely with key stakeholders across the business (including senior leadership), helping to translate strategic goals into financial outcomes and actionable insights. You will also own the monthly calculation of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and be prepared to support finance and the broader business with a range of adhoc tasks and analysis.  

This role does not have direct reports but requires a high level of ownership, accountability, and collaboration across the business. We are looking for someone who is not only strong in Excel and financial modelling, but who most critically brings real business acumen—someone who understands how to look at the company through the lens of senior management and can build models that reflect and support that vision. We are open to considering candidates with different industry backgrounds and varying experience levels, however, exposure to software or technology businesses would be an advantage.  

The ideal candidate will be a true team player who thrives in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment. We need someone with a can-do attitude for whom no task is too big or small.  

What will you do?  

• Drive the annual budget process, working with key stakeholders across the organisation to consolidate key data and assumptions. 
• Lead the rolling forecast process. 
• Complete the monthly ARR calculations and associated reporting.   
• Collaborate across internal functions to develop financial model inputs and assumptions while ensuring accuracy of inputs. 
• Translate complex financial and non-financial data into business insights and actionable recommendations. 
• Support finance and the broader business with adhoc reporting and analysis.

About you 

To qualify for the role, there are some basic minimum requirements:  

• You are CA/CPA or CFA qualified with 5+ years of experience in FP&A, finance business partnering or related roles.
• Strong modelling skills with a demonstrated history of building and developing three-way models.  
• Comfortable operating in a multi-currency environment. 
• Experience with financial systems (ideally NetSuite).

To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate: 

• Adaptability to change and a proven track record of working in a fast-paced organization. 
• Effective communication skills (both written and oral) and the ability to interact with stakeholders at all levels. 
• Highly collaborative with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Expert attention to detail. 
• Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities. 
• The ability to work effectively in a team and the capability to work autonomously. 

Why VALD? 

You will be working in a fast-paced, dynamic company that has a culture around the belief that anything is possible with hard work, creativity, dedication, and good timing.  

VALD's best asset is not our technology but our people and culture. We have a range of benefits we offer to our team. Some of our perks and benefits include: 

• Competitive market salary in a down-to-earth, inclusive and vibrant work environment. 
• Learning from a range of high-performing individuals and teams across a range of disciplines and geographies doing interesting and varied work.  
• Flexible working environment, with a casual dress code – no more corporate attire, T–shirts are the norm. You can also say goodbye to billable hours and timesheets. 
• Table tennis, basketball court, end-of-trip facilities with bike and scooter racks if that’s your thing.  
• Chefs that prepare you delicious fresh breakfast and lunch every day! 
• On-site barista to make your coffee just as you like it. 
• Team gym, remedial massage therapy, subsidised access to physiotherapy and exercise physiology services. 

Diversity & Inclusion Commitment 

While the successful candidate should be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident, we are committed to growing and empowering an inclusive VALD team. That's why we actively encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. If you require accessibility assistance at any stage of the process, please let us know.
