In early September, Jacaranda Finance‘s new Chief Operating Officer Tim Kuusik joined the business. It’s an exciting next step in Jacaranda’s growth journey.

With 20+ years’ experience across consulting, corporate leadership, M&A, and digital transformation, Tim Kuusik brings a rare mix of operational discipline, creative thinking, and commercial acumen. He’s led teams of all sizes, navigated large-scale mergers, and built businesses from scratch, including co-founding a wedding entertainment company that became a leader in South-East Queensland while he was at university.

A Chartered Accountant with an MBA, Kuusik has streamlined finance functions, developed lasting technology tools, and raised philanthropic capital as a long-time not-for-profit board member.

What stood out most for Jacaranda Finance was his ability to balance structure and precision with people-first leadership. Cultural fit accounts for 80% of Jacaranda’s hiring criteria, and Tim is collaborative, calm under pressure, and delivers outcomes in complex, fast-paced environments.

Jacaranda Finance is confident he’ll bring fresh perspective and operational horsepower to help them reach the next phase of their growth.
