Full-time | Remote, Philippines |Sydney business hours | Reports to CEO |

Lead an established Philippines finance team and help build a stronger group finance function.

Feedwell Group is an established Australian, Sydney-based workplace food and B2B distribution group made up of two companies, Feedwell and Snack Proud.

Feedwell is a workplace catering business with its own production kitchen in Sydney CBD and a last-mile delivery fleet, serving clients including Google, Amazon, Canva and TikTok.

Snack Proud is a national B2B snacks and pantry distribution business supplying corporate clients across Australia from its central Sydney warehouse.

We already have a Philippines-based team across finance, HR, operations and marketing. In this role you'll lead an existing finance team of three and report directly to the CEO.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys improving systems, building team capability, and creating finance operations that are accurate, timely and scalable.

The opportunity

Feedwell's finance operations are clean and run on a fast monthly close. Your early focus will be bringing Snack Proud to the same standard: strengthening daily reconciliations, improving the Cin7 Core-to-Xero workflow, removing manual workarounds, and giving the CEO dependable visibility of group performance.

You'll lead and develop a team of three while staying close to the workflows, systems and finance improvements that keep month-end moving.

What you'll own

•   The day-to-day finance function across Feedwell and Snack Proud
•   Leadership, coaching and development of a Philippines-based team of three accountants and bookkeepers
•   The month-end close across both entities, owned and run to an agreed timetable
•   The finance control framework: approval workflows, segregation of duties, and review of manual journals, write-offs and collections, ensuring no process sits with one person without oversight
•   The Cin7 Core-to-Xero integration, including ongoing configuration, and the inventory, stock and COGS reconciliation between the two
•   Accurate and timely customer invoicing across key enterprise accounts, including bespoke consolidation, fee and procurement-portal requirements
•   AR, AP, payment-run preparation and credit management across both businesses
•   Payroll and superannuation processes, supported by accurate records and established controls
•   Accurate daily finance records, reconciliations and supporting schedules for external Australian advisers to prepare and lodge tax, payroll and statutory obligations
•   Group management reporting, the consolidated driver-based forecasting model, and rolling budgets and cash-flow forecasts
•   Group EBITDA reporting and the relevant supporting schedules
•   Continuous improvement across finance processes, systems and automation
•   Acting as the senior finance point of contact for other departments and key personnel, owning those relationships and attending to ad-hoc requests as needed
•   Supporting the CEO with finance, reporting and improvement needs as the group scales
  

What success looks like

Within your first 6 months, you will have:

•   Built a clear view of the finance workflows, controls and reporting needs across both businesses
•   Established a reliable month-end close within 4 business days by month 6, with reconciliations and management reporting ready for review
•   Improved daily reconciliations and inventory-to-GL accuracy
•   Strengthened the Cin7 Core-to-Xero workflow and configuration, making exceptions easier to identify and resolve
•   Improved the quality and timeliness of month-end reporting and group consolidation
•   Put in place a clear finance control framework with no single points of failure
•   Reduced avoidable manual work through better process design and automation
•   Developed a capable, accountable finance team that can grow with the group

You'll be a strong match if you can show that you have

•   Managed a small finance team of two or more accountants or bookkeepers, owning their hiring, performance, workload and development
•   Owned and improved a month-end close, not simply contributed to one
•   Used Xero daily to manage reconciliation, reporting or close workflows
•   Managed inventory, stock and COGS workflows in an inventory system such as Cin7 Core, NetSuite, MYOB Advanced, Unleashed or SAP
•   Worked successfully in a fast-moving, inventory-led business such as distribution, FMCG, food, wholesale or logistics
•   Prepared accurate finance records and supporting schedules for Australian external accountants or advisers, including GST/BAS, payroll and superannuation requirements
•   Built or maintained finance controls like approval workflows, segregation of duties, review of journals and write-offs
•   Improved a finance process by reducing errors, delay or manual work
•   Communicated finance issues clearly and constructively with non-finance stakeholders

You don't need Cin7 Core experience to apply. If you've run inventory and COGS workflows in a comparable system, we'll train you on Cin7.

CPA Philippines or an equivalent accounting qualification, Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR) experience, strong spreadsheet skills, experience across multiple entities, and familiarity with procurement portals such as Ariba, Coupa, Corrigo or Ramp will all be highly regarded.

You'll enjoy this role if you

•   See a manual workaround and ask why the system cannot do it better
•   Are comfortable being the most senior finance person in the room
•   Like balancing detail, controls and operational pace
•   Want meaningful influence over how a finance function is run and improved
•   Are energised by developing people as well as improving systems

What we offer

•   A stable, full-time, long-term role with a growing Australian-owned group
•   Highly competitive salary package, based on demonstrated fit and experience
•   13th-month pay
•   HMO and private health cover
•   SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG contributions
•   Paid annual and sick leave
•   Equipment provided
•   Direct access to the CEO and real influence over finance systems, controls and operating standards
•   The opportunity to build a stronger finance function and grow a team as the group scales
•   100% remote work from the Philippines
•   A daytime schedule aligned with Sydney business hours, finishing in the early afternoon Manila time
•   A collaborative Philippines-based team, with quarterly in-person team catch-ups and activities
