Recently ranked #11 on the 2025 Deloitte Tech Fast 50! Now is an exciting time to join our team. Initially co-founded by Marco Pierre White and leaders in the food tech scene, we’re now a 150+ person scaleup that’s growing fast and making waves in the industry.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Be part of a high-growth scale-up shaping the future of HospitalityTech
• Lead transformative finance projects with real ownership and autonomy
• Work closely with the CFO and senior leadership across multiple countries
• Join a collaborative, high-performing team that values initiative, experimentation, and results

A Day-in-the-Life of our Global Financial Controller

You’ll step into a hands-on, strategic finance leadership role in a scale-up environment. Some days you’ll be designing systems and processes that will support growth for years to come; other days you’ll be rolling up your sleeves to solve immediate challenges in payroll, reporting, or compliance.

You’ll be a trusted partner to the CFO, working across finance, operations, and leadership teams to drive business performance. This is a role where your decisions, design choices, and processes will have a direct impact on the company’s growth trajectory.

On any given week, you will:

• Lead, coach, and develop a finance team of 4+, setting clear expectations and accountability
• Own P2P processes and Revenue Billing processes. Ensure timely and accurate coding by the team.
• Manage Treasury on a daily basis, fund float balances by 9AM Sydney time every day
• Partner with the CFO on cashflow forecasting, liquidity management, and financial controls
• Own the month-end close process and continuously reduce close timelines and rework
• Translate financial results into clear, actionable insights for non-finance leaders
• Review and approve weekly payment runs, ensuring appropriate controls and segregation of duties
• Maintain oversight of journals, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity, stepping in hands-on where required
• Lead all aspects of group financial reporting under IFRS, including month-end, quarter-end, and year-end consolidation and close across multiple entities (currently AU and UK with future expansion to other markets)
• Manage all group tax obligations and compliance filings (GST/VAT, FBT, PAYG, R&D, international tax, Transfer Pricing)
• Oversee and maintain the group’s financial systems, including Xero and billing systems, ensuring accurate configuration, data integrity, and reporting
• Design, implement, and maintain robust internal controls, accounting policies, and risk frameworks
• Be able to write and design accounting papers for key areas of Financial Statements
• Act as the escalation point for operational finance issues across the business
  

Type of projects you’ll be working on at EatClub…

• Lead the migration from Xero to NetSuite, including design, implementation, and optimisation
• Design and roll out a scalable procure-to-pay process across multiple countries
• Build and optimise finance processes across billing, procurement, travel, and expenses
• Implement new systems, automations, and AI tools to improve finance operations
• Lead audits and ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Drive consolidation and management reporting, including variance analysis and month-end close improvements
• Support strategic growth decisions with analysis and insight
  

You’ll have real autonomy to drive finance projects, processes, and reporting, while partnering closely with the CFO as their second-in-command shaping decisions, consolidating insights, and ensuring the business has the information it needs to grow.

You have…

• 4-6 years of Big 4 experience in Audit and Assurance
• Prior experience as a Financial Controller or Head of Finance in a scaling SaaS or marketplace business
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related discipline
• CA or CPA qualification
• Experience operating across multiple entities and jurisdictions is highly regarded
  

It would be extra awesome if you also had…

• Experience implementing or operating NetSuite
• Exposure to high-growth or scale-up environments
• Experience leveraging technology and automation in finance processes
  

You are…

• A hands-on leader with a strong ownership mindset
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and transactional levels
• An independent thinker who can work with ambiguity and make sound judgements
• A strong cross-discipline communicator/translator, bridging finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Motivated by building scalable systems, automating processes, and improving outcomes
  

Maybe this role is not for you if:

• Prefer highly structured environments with established processes and rigid hierarchies
• Are uncomfortable with change, pace, or evolving priorities
• Expect perfect data and fully formed systems from day one
• Expect to only supervise the team and not post journals
