About the Company

Join a well-established New Zealand engineering business that is entering an ambitious phase of expansion. The group operates across more than one jurisdiction in a highly specialised market, with growth expected through organic development, entry into new markets, and strategic acquisitions.

This is a senior leadership opportunity for a commercially minded finance executive who is eager to shape capability, reinforce governance, and help evolve the organisation from SME-style reporting into a more sophisticated, audit-ready group finance function.

The Role

Reporting to the CEO/Managing Director, you will be part of the Senior Leadership Team and take full ownership of the finance function across a complex multi-entity group operating in New Zealand and Australia. The remit includes financial operations, strategic planning, treasury, taxation, reporting, systems, and governance, while serving as a trusted advisor to the executive team and board.

The position gives you meaningful input into strategy, capital deployment, margin improvement, and the company’s long-term growth agenda.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the group’s financial operations, reporting, cashflow, and treasury activities.
Prepare clear and useful monthly management reports and board packs.
Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and business performance analysis.
Work closely with the CEO and leadership team on strategic choices and growth plans.
Oversee the move to NZ IFRS reporting and statutory audit obligations.
Handle banking relationships, funding arrangements, and covenant monitoring.
Direct taxation, transfer pricing, trust structures, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
Establish scalable controls, governance practices, and finance processes.
Drive finance transformation projects, including ERP evaluation and implementation.
Coach and develop the finance team while contributing as a core member of the SLT.

Candidate Profile

To succeed in this role, you will bring strong technical expertise, commercial judgement, and hands-on leadership experience. You should be comfortable operating in a growth environment and balancing strategy with execution.

CAANZ qualification plus extensive experience after qualification.
Background as a CFO, Finance Director, or senior finance leader in a multi-entity organisation.
Proven success supporting a business through substantial growth.
Strong capability in group consolidations, multi-currency operations, and complex reporting.
Experience leading a business through statutory reporting and audit transition.
Solid understanding of New Zealand tax rules and financial reporting standards.
Working knowledge of Australian accounting and tax requirements.
Practical experience with transfer pricing, intercompany arrangements, and trust administration.
A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Experience in engineering, manufacturing, industrial services, or project-based environments is highly desirable.
ERP implementation and finance transformation experience would be an advantage.

Additional Information

This is not a maintenance-style CFO role. The business is looking for a proactive finance leader who can help build the next stage of the organisation’s finance capability and support growth over the coming years.
