Manager of Financial Services

The Shire of Morawa is seeking a motivated and highly capable Manager of Financial Services to lead and oversee the core financial functions of the Shire.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a direct impact within the Corporate & Community Services team. You will be responsible for ensuring the smooth and accurate operation of all financial systems, including:

• Providing comprehensive accounting services (general ledger, bank

reconciliations, monthly reporting and high-level payroll functions).

• Leading the preparation and review of annual and midyear budgets.

• Preparation of Annual Financial Statements and regulatory reporting

requirements.

• Providing essential leadership, training, and guidance to the team.

The ideal candidate will be primarily based in our Morawa office to collaborate closely with the corporate and finance team. However, to support a healthy work-life balance, a negotiated hybrid schedule including some time working from a Perth office may be available.

Applicants with current or previous Local Government finance experience, and familiarity with the SynergySoft finance system, will be highly regarded. Success in this role requires a proven ability to multitask with precision and maintain a positive, proactive demeanour.

If you're looking for a genuine community, a balanced lifestyle, and a stunning natural environment – including our beautiful spring wildflowers – Morawa is waiting. Work with us, live well.
