Finance Manager - Smart Home Automation

Lead Finance for a Fast-Growing Smart Home Automation Business & Shape its Future Success.

The Opportunity

Tall tech is ready to bring in a capable and hands-on Finance Manager to lead the financial function across its growing group of companies. This is a key hire, with the clear goal of restoring financial visibility, supporting strategic decisions, and setting the business up for long-term, sustainable growth.

If you’re an experienced finance operator who enjoys the balance of day-to-day detail and big-picture thinking, and you’re motivated by the chance to build something that matters, this could be the role for you.

If you have the finance experience coupled with the practical business and team understanding to bring value to this fast-paced, future-focused business on the Sunshine Coast, read on.

About the Business

Tall tech is the largest smart home automation business on the Sunshine Coast. Known for designing and delivering seamless high-end technology experiences, they work closely with award-winning architects, designers, and builders across Queensland.

The HQ is in Noosa, and they’re expanding operations in Brisbane and beyond.

This is a team of capable, down-to-earth professionals who take pride in doing great work, and are now looking for someone who can bring the same clarity and care to the finance side of the business.

About You

You’re highly organised, calm under pressure, and thrive in environments where no two weeks look quite the same. You’re confident in managing everything from payroll to trust structures — and you enjoy being the go-to for financial clarity and structure.

You will work well with business owners and enjoy having a genuine influence on how a company operates and grows. You understand the unique nature of founder-led businesses, and you take pride in being the safe pair of hands that helps turn ideas into action.

You’re practical, tech-savvy, and know how to improve a system without over complicating it. And while you take your work seriously, you’re also easy to be around and enjoy working as part of a capable, supportive team.

Your New Role

This is a broad and central role that gives you full visibility and ownership over the finance function.

You’ll be responsible for all day-to-day financial operations, while also working closely with the business owner to support business strategy, forecasting, and long-term planning.

There’s an established foundation in place from the previous Finance Manager — you’ll be stepping in to pick up where they left off, with plenty of room to build.
