The Opportunity:
Approach Consulting have partnered with an award-winning Defence consultancy based in Canberra that’s entering its next phase of strategic growth. With a strong reputation across Defence, CASG, and Defence Industry, they’re now seeking a Financial Services Practice Lead to establish and grow a new capability within the business.
This is a pivotal leadership role that blends technical expertise, business development, and team leadership — ideal for someone who thrives on building capability, shaping client strategy, and driving commercial growth.
About the Role:
As the Financial Services Practice Lead, you’ll spearhead the development of a new consulting practice focused on delivering financial advisory and performance improvement solutions. You’ll lead major projects in financial management, process optimisation, system implementation, and strategic reporting for senior finance stakeholders across public and private sectors.
You’ll be hands-on in delivery and business growth — engaging clients, developing frameworks, leading proposals, and leveraging your networks to secure new opportunities. This is your chance to design and lead a high-impact consulting practice from the ground up, supported by a well-established brand and leadership team.
About You:
You’re a seasoned finance professional who understands the challenges facing modern CFOs and finance teams, from digital transformation to regulatory change, and can translate this understanding into practical, outcome-driven solutions.
You enjoy leading teams, mentoring emerging consultants, and turning ideas into scalable, client-focused offerings. Most importantly, you’re motivated by the opportunity to shape a growing consulting practice and influence its strategic direction.
