For 15+ years, Calexico's two James Street boutiques have been Brisbane's home of international style - now they're scaling the online experience to match the in-store magic.
Their business spans physical retail, boutique services and ecommerce — and they're growing. We're now looking for a strong Finance Manager who thrives in a dynamic fashion-retail environment and can drive robust financial controls, strategic insight and business growth across both brands.
As Finance Manager you'll serve as the finance lead for the dual brands — responsible for accurate financial reporting, high-quality insights, system and process improvements and supporting commercial decision-making. You will partner closely with the senior leadership team to ensure the business grows profitably, remains agile and continues to build its premium reputation.
Key Responsibilities:
* Oversee month-end, quarter-end and year-end financial close for both brands, ensuring timely and accurate P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow statements.
* Develop and present financial reports, KPIs and dashboards to the leadership team — highlighting performance, trends, risk areas and growth opportunities.
* Support budgeting, forecasting and business planning cycles; integrate strong commercial insight specific to luxury / specialist retail.
* Drive cost controls, inventory margin oversight, expense monitoring and financial governance across retail, wholesale and online channels.
* Collaborate with operations, merchandising, ecommerce and retail teams to provide financial insight that helps shape product investment, pricing strategies, promotions and channel mix.
* Manage and maintain accounting systems, processes and internal controls — recommend improvements to support scalability and business agility.
* Lead management of external audit and tax processes, ensure compliance with statutory obligations and maintain best practice financial policies.
Who You Are
* Qualified accountant (CA/CPA) with significant experience (ideally 5+ years) in a senior finance role within retail, fashion or consumer brands.
* Strong commercial mindset — able to interpret numbers into business insight; you thrive when translating financial data into strategic action.
* Proven ability to manage across multiple business units or brands, with experience in inventory-driven businesses being a plus.
* Proficient with ERP/accounting systems relevant for retail (e.g., MYOB, NetSuite, Xero) and comfortable working with cross-functional teams (merchandising, retail ops, ecommerce).
* High integrity and strong internal control mindset: you build processes, identify risk and recommend enhancements.
* Excellent communicator: can present complex financial concepts clearly to non-finance stakeholders, and partner as a trusted advisor.
* Adaptable, high-energy and ready to operate in a fast-moving, premium retail environment where the pace and expectations are high.
Why Join Us?
* Join two well-regarded Australian luxury fashion brands with strong growth potential.
* Be the finance lead in a dynamic environment where you'll influence both brand strategy and operational performance.
* Work within a culture that values collaboration, creativity, excellent service and employee growth.
* Competitive salary (commensurate with experience)
* Genuine opportunity to make a visible impact — your work will help shape the future of Calexico & Calexico Man.
