Modoras welcomes director of CFO advisory
The financial services firm has named Henning Neethling as its new director of CFO advisory to support its long-term growth strategy.
Modoras has welcomed the appointment of its new director of CFO advisory, Henning Neethling, to strengthen the firm’s commitment to delivering integrated, results-driven financial solutions to clients across Australia.
According to the firm, Neethling had more than 20 years of experience across a range of industries and would bring a “wealth of knowledge” and commercial expertise to the role.
Neethling’s career began at PwC South Africa before he relocated to Australia in 2008 and has worked in areas including financial control, performance analysis, strategic leadership and operational transformation, with a focus on helping businesses drive efficiency and growth.
Jonathan Rudman, Modoras’ managing partner, said the appointment bolstered the firm’s growth strategy and enhanced its ability to meet the evolving needs of businesses across the country.
“Henning’s appointment is a significant step forward in the expansion of our advisory capability. His deep financial expertise, real-world CFO experience and commercial acumen allow him to identify opportunities for improvement and deliver high-impact outcomes for clients,” he said.
In addition to PwC and now his role at Modoras, Neethling has also held senior finance roles at Macquarie Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and PetSure.
Modoras noted Neethling had also served as chief financial officer at Sky News Australia, where he was involved in setting corporate strategy and leading the business through “record profitability”.
In his role at the firm, Neethling was set to lead the Modoras’ corporate advisory division, where he would work closely with mid-market, high-growth and privately owned businesses.
Neethling would also collaborate with Modoras’ accounting, wealth management and audit teams to deliver integrated solutions that create long-term value for clients.
Neethling said he was looking forward to his role at Modoras and leaning on his extensive CFO experience to guide him in the new position.
“I’m passionate about building operational and financial efficiency. Having been in the CFO seat for a number of years, I understand what leaders need.”
“I’m excited to bring that perspective to Modoras and help our clients simplify, strengthen and scale their finance and operational functions.”
