Head of Business Services and Finance – The Numbers Savvy Leader

Full‑Time : Remote

Lead. Analyse. Optimise. Make Everything Run Like Clockwork.

Do you love diving into numbers, spotting trends, and turning data into smart business decisions? Can you manage multiple teams across Finance, Admin, Recruitment, and IT while keeping everything running smoothly? Are you ready to bring both operational and financial excellence to a fast‑growing business? If yes, this could be your next big move.

Who We Are

Profitable Tradie is a fast growing coaching and consulting company helping plumbing, electrical, and other trade business owners across New Zealand, Australia, and North America. We help business owners scale through high performance teams, streamlined systems, and financial strategies that get results, fast. We take growth seriously, but we also love energy, banter, and people who bring personality to their work.

What You Will Be Doing

As Head of Business Services and Finance, you will be the operational and financial backbone of the business. You will manage Finance, Admin, Executive Assistants, Recruitment, and IT teams, ensuring all departments run efficiently and data‑driven decisions support growth.

  • Lead and mentor department heads across Finance, Admin, EAs, Recruitment, and IT
  • Optimise workflows, systems, and operational processes across all teams
  • Prepare and analyse management accounts, P&L, balance sheets, and cash flow reports
  • Provide insights from financial data, highlighting trends, opportunities, and risks
  • Develop budgets, rolling forecasts, and long‑term financial plans
  • Partner with senior leadership to guide strategic initiatives, investment decisions, and pricing strategies
  • Actively contribute to shaping the long‑term direction of the business
  • Facilitate strong cross‑functional communication and ensure operational transparency
  • Construct dashboards and tracking tools for key data visibility
  • Maintain data integrity and ensure consistent reporting standards across departments
  • Drive operational excellence, introducing process improvements that increase efficiency and consistency

Who You Are

  • A numbers‑savvy leader with a personality – analytical, precise, but approachable and engaging
  • Strong experience in business services management, preferably overseeing multiple teams or departments
  • Confident leading teams across multiple functions, coaching and holding leaders accountable
  • Comfortable using AI, project management, and workflow tools (ClickUp, Asana, HubSpot, or similar)
  • Highly organised with attention to detail, while keeping the big picture in focus
  • A problem solver, solution‑focused, calm under pressure, and always seeking improvements
  • Energetic, personable, and motivated to make a real impact on the business
  • Why Join Us?

    At Profitable Tradie, we don’t just talk about growth. We live it.

  • Your voice matters - disagree, challenge, speak up. We actually listen
  • Stagnation doesn’t exist here - we push you to grow harder, faster, and smarter every day
  • You’ll work with legends – no driftwood, just top‑tier talent who push you to be better every day
  • Impact is real – the work you do changes lives, both for clients and the team around you
  • Fun isn’t optional – our banter is off the charts and we work hard while laughing harder
  • If you’re done settling for mediocre and want to step into a role that actually excites, challenges, and rewards you, this is where you belong. We are interviewing top talent right now, so do not wait. Life is about moments. Is this your moment?
