Finance Manager - Australian Food Business (Remote Role)

Feedwell

36d • Remote

About The Position

Feedwell Group is an established Australian, Sydney-based workplace food and B2B distribution group made up of two companies, Feedwell and Snack Proud. Feedwell is a workplace catering business with its own production kitchen in Sydney CBD and a last-mile delivery fleet, serving clients including Google, Amazon, Canva and TikTok. Snack Proud is a national B2B snacks and pantry distribution business supplying corporate clients across Australia from its central Sydney warehouse. We already have a Philippines-based team across finance, HR, operations and marketing. In this role you'll lead an existing finance team of three and report directly to the CEO. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys improving systems, building team capability, and creating finance operations that are accurate, timely and scalable. Feedwell's finance operations are clean and run on a fast monthly close. Your early focus will be bringing Snack Proud to the same standard: strengthening daily reconciliations, improving the Cin7 Core-to-Xero workflow, removing manual workarounds, and giving the CEO dependable visibility of group performance. You'll lead and develop a team of three while staying close to the workflows, systems and finance improvements that keep month-end moving.
