Senior Finance Business Partner | Local Council | Adelaide, SA | Permanent | Full Time

Are you a strategic finance professional who thrives on building relationships and making a real impact? Do you want to use your expertise to support a vibrant, growing community in a supportive and innovative environment?

As South Australia's largest metropolitan council, we are looking for a Senior Finance Business Partner to join our high-performing Financial Planning and Analysis team. We are a professional and friendly workplace where you will be supported to grow, develop, and be the best you can be.

This is not your typical accounting role.

We are looking for a natural collaborator and influencer. While your foundation will be in finance, your success will be measured by your ability to connect with, guide, and support key leaders across the organisation. This role is a true partnership, focusing on strategic advice and relationship management, not financial accounting functions like tax, reconciliations, or statutory reporting.

As a Senior Finance Business Partner, you will:

Act as a trusted advisor, providing expert financial guidance on budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting to your assigned divisions.

Build and nurture strong relationships with key stakeholders, influencing decision-making to help them achieve their strategic goals.

Mentor and guide other Finance Business Partners, fostering a supportive and collaborative team environment.

Analyse and present complex financial information in a clear and compelling way, helping to drive performance and deliver value-for-money services for our community

What You'll Bring to the Team

You are a people person with a passion for finance. You excel at translating complex numbers into meaningful stories and have considerable experience in a business partnering capacity. Your ability to handle difficult situations with grace and negotiate positive outcomes is second to none.

To thrive in this role, you will have:

A tertiary qualification in Commerce, Accounting, or a related field.

Extensive experience in a senior role focused on budget preparation, management, and reporting, preferably within a large organisation.

Demonstrated excellence in financial analysis and building strong, collaborative working relationships.

A genuine commitment to teamwork, customer service, and continuous improvement.

A CA or CPA qualification is highly desirable.
