Financial Reporting Manager

Toyota Finance Australia (TFA) is the country’s largest automotive financier.  Our past gives us credibility and knowledge. But it’s what the future holds, and how we can make the world a better place, that excites us. It’s not just about technology but what it can do for people.

At TFA we’re committed to empowering our customers to get into their new car and onto the road. 

We’re also passionate about, and committed to, our people. 

Our philosophy of Here To Move You represents our commitment to not only move our customers, but help our employees grow. 

Your success at TFA is important to us, and we pride ourselves on a work culture that supports and rewards people.

From partnering with you to support your career growth, to providing you with opportunities to learn, improve, feel engaged and appreciated, we celebrate our people and the difference they bring.

We strive to create a workplace that not only gives equal opportunities to people of all backgrounds and abilities but supports them to reach their full potential.

We’re working towards a future where we look out for each and our planet.  Where we enrich lives with the safest and most responsible ways of moving.  This is the kind of tomorrow we’re imagining here at TFA.

Join us and help drive the future.

This role is based in our Head Office, Grosvenor Place, Sydney.  The office is within walking distance from the train station.  There are plenty of options for lunch and catching up with colleagues or friends after work.
