Reporting to the CEO, the Head of Finance is responsible for the financial management and membership administration functions of Bowls Queensland. This pivotal role safeguards the financial integrity, liquidity and compliance of the organisation in line with Australian Accounting Standards and all statutory obligations, while ensuring the effective operation of Bowlslink, the national membership management system.

Operating with a high degree of autonomy, accountability and discretion, the Head of Finance provides critical governance and operational continuity, supporting the CEO, Board and Committees with transparent, compliant and efficient processes and improvement initiatives that strengthen organisational effectiveness and governance maturity.

The Head of Finance will administer all day-to-day financial transactions (currently using MYOB) as well as budget preparation and oversight, monitoring accounts receivable, payroll and statutory obligations including PAYG, BAS and FBT. The position also leads the preparation of management and Board financial reports, liaises with external auditors, and completes grant acquittal reporting. Dependent upon the skills and background of the successful candidate, the role may also take on Company Secretary responsibilities.

As the Bowlslink Membership Administrator, this role is the primary point of contact for Bowlslink enquiries and will oversee the system to ensure the accuracy and integrity of membership data across districts, clubs and individual members throughout Queensland. Your ability to combine financial precision with responsive stakeholder service will be essential in this aspect of the role.

To be considered for this role you will have extensive demonstrated experience in financial management, accounting, governance and administration, ideally within a not-for-profit, sporting or membership-based environment. You will demonstrate strong knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards, cash flow management, reporting and audit processes, along with exceptional integrity, attention to detail and organisational capability. Tertiary qualifications in Commerce, Accounting, Business or CPA would be highly regarded, as would experience as a Company Secretary.
