Overview
Finance Manager Jobs in Australia at Innovation Bay
Title: Finance Manager
Company: Innovation Bay
Location: Australia
Finance Manager (Part-Time)
Permanent | Australia | Scale-up environment
Innovation Bay is a founder-led scale-up supporting some of Australia’s most ambitious tech leaders. We’re small, fast-moving, and impact-driven — and we’re at the stage where strong financial foundations matter more than ever.
We’re looking for a part-time Finance Manager to become the safe pair of hands behind our numbers — someone who brings clarity, consistency, and insight to the day-to-day financial operations of the business.
This is a permanent, embedded role — not a fractional or portfolio position.
Why this role exists
Our leadership team is focused on growth, community, and delivery. What we need is a trusted finance lead who:
- Keeps the financial engine running smoothly
- Produces reliable, decision-ready data
- Helps us make smart calls in a tight cash-flow environment
You’ll own the fundamentals first — and have a real voice as the business evolves.
What you’ll be responsible for
- End-to-end day-to-day financial management
- Bookkeeping and reconciliation across Xero, Chargebee, and expense platforms
- Invoicing, accounts payable/receivable, and cash-flow management
- Monthly reporting and financial insights for the CEO and leadership team
- Maintaining clean, accurate, trusted financial data
- Working closely with external accountants on tax and statutory requirements
- Supporting the team with clear, practical financial guidance
What “good” looks like
- The numbers are trusted, up-to-date, and easy to understand
- Cash flow is visible and actively managed
- Monthly reports land on time and support real decisions
- The leadership team feels confident using financial data
- Finance is calm, predictable, and well-run
About you
You’re likely someone who:
- Has worked in startups or scale-ups and understands ambiguity
- Is comfortable operating in tight cash-flow environments
- Enjoys being hands-on and close to the detail
- Can translate numbers into clear insights for founders
- Values consistency, ownership, and long-term impact
You don’t need to be a CFO today — but you do need to be someone people trust with the financial heartbeat of the business.
The details
- Permanent, part-time role (2–3 days/week initially)
- $70–90k package
- Australia-based, same timezone required
- Reports directly to the CEO
- Opportunity to grow with the business over time
- Strong access to a leading tech founder community
- If you’re looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference — and where operational excellence really matters — we’d love to hear from you.
