Chief Financial Officer - Family Office Construction & Renewables

๐Ÿ“ Perth, Australia

Finance and Insurance Arete Executive

Job Description

Lead financial strategy and governance across a multi-entity family office portfolio. Drive capital structuring, M&A and future renewable energy investments. Build an integrated finance and corporate services function to support growth. About the Opportunity

This is a defining career move for an accomplished Chief Financial Officer who thrives at the intersection of strategy, structure and growth. You will join a privately owned Australian group at a pivotal point in its evolution โ€“ a business transitioning from traditional foundations to a more integrated enterprise with significant national operations. Operating at a substantial scale with multi-million-dollar revenues and a workforce exceeding 150, the group is entering an exciting phase of consolidation and expansion. You will take ownership of the organisationโ€™s financial strategy, governance and performance โ€“ a role for a leader who can see the big picture yet roll up their sleeves to build systems, processes and capability from the ground up. Youโ€™ll guide the shift from outsourced accounting to a high-performing internal finance function, shaping the framework that underpins capital allocation, investment performance and long-term value creation. About You

Your background spans construction, infrastructure or renewable energy โ€“ sectors where scale, complexity and capital discipline define success. Experience within a family office, private investment group or founder-led business will be highly regarded, particularly where youโ€™ve built or transformed finance functions and navigated growth through both operational and investment lenses. You have led multi-entity finance operations, driven M&A transactions, and raised substantial debt and equity. Above all, you are steady under pressure โ€“ decisive, composed and able to earn trust quickly across diverse stakeholders. You bring commercial acumen, humility and influence in equal measure. You know how to balance strategic foresight with handsโ€‘on delivery, and how to lead teams confidently through growth, transformation and change. Whatโ€™s on Offer

You will join a business with clear ambition and a founder who values pace, partnership and performance. This is a leadership seat that offers autonomy and influence โ€“ the ability to architect the finance function, drive major transactions and shape the strategic future of the group. Expect a merit-based culture where accountability is matched by trust and flexibility. Hybrid working options are available, with the group headquartered in Perth and relocation support offered for the right leader. You will partner directly with ownership, gain exposure to high-value deals, and see your impact reflected in measurable results. This is an opportunity to leave a legacy โ€“ to build something enduring, guide transformation at scale, and redefine what financial leadership looks like in a fast-growing private enterprise.
