Background

About Paul Robertson

Highly experienced finance professional with nearly 30 years in ASX-listed companies, leading private corporations and NGOs. Following a recent short career break to help my wife grow her busy marketing consultancy and spend quality time with my children, I am now seeking a fulfilling finance role based in the North Coast of NSW or Queensland’s Gold Coast as part of my family’s plan for a seachange move from Sydney in 2020. I am a CPA-qualified CFO/Financial Controller with extensive experience including senior finance roles within ASX listed and leading private corporations across manufacturing, retail, FMCG, property and financial industries. In addition, I serve as Director of Creating Chances, a not-for-profit which builds capacity in Australia's disadvantaged communities by teaching leadership, communication, conflict resolution, goal setting, values and diversity. I have a proven track record in a broad range of finance functions including business performance reporting and analysis, budgeting and planning, statutory reporting, direct and indirect taxation compliance, treasury and cash flow management along with maintenance of internal controls and appropriate governance. While being recognised most for providing strategic insight to senior management by facilitating best practice and effective business partnering, I am a subject matter expert in all technical developments in accounting and taxation compliance. My track record in building superior finance teams ensures a business has the technical expertise it needs when it needs it, while also having access to best practice business partners when it is time to collaborate on shared projects.
