Right now we've been charged with finding just the right individual to join ACFA in the capacity of Finance and Business Support Officer.

So, who are you?

Well, aside from 3 years in accounting, finance or significant finance management experience, it's likely that people describe you as:

• Smart and commercially astute
• Task-focused and comfortable with multi-tasking
• Most comfortable when given the chance to take direction from others
• Comfortable working independently while also contributing to a team environment
• Somebody that has a high regard for policies and procedures
• Glass half-full, yet comfortable to suggest process improvements
• Decisive and accountable, ensuring business needs are met effectively
• Happy to meet the needs of stakeholders, while also stating your professional opinions
• Happy to take the lead in areas of expertise
• Objective in your assessment of things

Additionally, being familiar with not-for-profit or membership-based/RTO organisations is desirable but not essential, and experience working with grant funding or financial reporting for funded programs will be highly regarded.
