We're looking for someone to own the finance function at Tacklit. Not assist with it. Own it.
Who we are
Tacklit is a care delivery platform for mental health providers. We've been building it for six years, and today it's used by clinicians and patients across Australia, the UK, New Zealand, and the Middle East. We're a real business with real revenue, multiple entities, and customers who pay us in different currencies and different tax regimes.
That's exactly why this role exists. The numbers matter, the compliance is genuinely multi-jurisdictional, and the founders need more dedicated support in running a growing finance function.
The role
This is a fractional Finance Manager role. One day a week, you run the day-to-day finance operations of a growing SaaS company end to end. You'll work closely with the founders, who stay in the loop as the approval and control layer, but the rhythm of the function is yours to drive. This would suit an existing fractional finance manager looking for extended portfolio or a returning to work / part time professional looking for an interesting challenge with flexibility and work life balance.
Concretely, you'll own:
- Accounts receivable. Keep a live view of every upcoming invoice, send them on time each month, chase late payers, and tell us clearly who's behind and why.
- Cash forecasting. Maintain a rolling three-month daily cash forecast and a twelve-month monthly view. Spot the tight spots before they arrive and flag them early. This is the part of the job the founders care about most, because good cash visibility is what lets the rest of the business move with confidence.
- Accounts payable and treasury. Keep payables clean, prepare the fortnightly supplier run for founder approval, execute payments and payroll, and move money across accounts so we always meet our obligations. Keep credit card debt down and the savings balance up.
- Monthly reporting. Prepare the cashflow statement, balance sheet, and P&L, maintain the ARR schedule and SaaS metrics inputs, and present the monthly finance meeting. We want someone who can produce the numbers and explain what they mean.
- Compliance across jurisdictions. Own the bookkeeping and work directly with our accountants in each country so every liability is paid on time. In Australia that means BAS, IAS, and super. In the UK it means VAT. You'll keep all of it on plan and inside the cash forecast, and you'll have enough technical knowledge to keep transfer pricing handled properly across our entities.
- The finance inbox. It's yours. Nothing falls through.
Who you are
You take ownership. Given a messy corner of the business, your instinct is to make it clean and keep it that way, without being asked twice.
You know your accounting. Real bookkeeping skills, comfort with multi-entity and multi-currency, and enough depth on tax and transfer pricing to work shoulder to shoulder with external accountants rather than just forwarding their emails.
You're diligent to a fault. In finance, the small stuff is the whole job. A missed BAS deadline or a cash forecast that's quietly wrong is the kind of mistake we're hiring you to never make.
You have room for us. We're asking that you do a similar role for no more than two other businesses, so Tacklit gets proper focus on the one day we have you.
Melbourne-based is a plus, but it's not a dealbreaker for the right person.
The practical bits
One day a week. Xero is our ledger, and our billing data flows into it from the Tacklit platform, so some familiarity with how SaaS billing and payment reconciliation work will help you hit the ground running.
If you're the kind of person who finds a tidy set of books quietly satisfying and wants real ownership rather than a narrow slice of someone else's process, we'd like to hear from you.
