Management Accountant/Company Accountant
Management Account – Commercial & Operational Focus
Steel Frames WA is a high-performance, project-based manufacturing business supplying light gauge steel framing to many of Western Australia's leading residential builders. We are an owner-led, fast-moving business where decisions are made quickly and performance is reviewed weekly. As we continue to scale capacity, invest in equipment and secure larger contracts, we are seeking a commercially driven Finance Manager to take ownership of the finance function and partner directly with the Managing Directors. This is not a back-office reporting role. This role sits at the centre of commercial decision-making.
The Opportunity
You will work directly with the business owners and leadership team to provide the financial insight that drives:
* Job and contract profitability
* Cash flow and working capital performance
* Pricing and margin discipline
* Capital investment decisions
* Operational efficiency
You will see the impact of your decisions in the numbers within weeks — not quarters. This role offers real influence in a business where finance is embedded in operations, not removed from it.
Key Responsibilities
Finance Leadership & Ownership
* Lead and develop AP, AR and Payroll
* Maintain integrity of financial reporting and systems
* Deliver timely, commercially relevant monthly reporting
* Strengthen processes and controls as the business scales
Commercial & Operational Finance
* Provide real-time visibility of WIP and job profitability
* Partner with operations to improve margin and productivity
* Support pricing decisions through cost and profitability analysis
* Lead financial modelling for equipment and growth initiatives
* Review customer and supplier contracts for commercial viability
Cash Flow & Performance
* Own the 13-week rolling cash flow forecast
* Drive working capital performance and cash conversion
* Lead budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
* Translate financial results into practical actions for leadership
Compliance & Governance
* Oversee BAS, GST, PAYG, Super and statutory obligations
* Manage year-end processes and external advisors
About You
You are commercially minded and outcomes focused. You enjoy being close to operations and influencing decision-making rather than simply producing reports.
You will bring:
* CA / CPA qualification
* Experience in construction, manufacturing, engineering or project-based environments
* Strong job costing and WIP experience
* Advanced Excel and financial modelling capability
* Demonstrated leadership of a small finance team
* Strong systems capability (ERP or equivalent)
* AI exposure desirable but not essential
You are comfortable in a high-accountability environment and motivated by performance and growth.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Direct access to Managing Directors
* Genuine influence over commercial decisions
* Broad operational and strategic exposure
* Ability to shape systems, processes and financial discipline
* Clear growth pathway as the business scales
This is an opportunity for a commercially capable finance professional who wants more than month-end reporting and is motivated by ownership, visibility and long-term growth.
If you are ready to step into a role where your contribution directly impacts profitability and expansion, we welcome your application.
