Senior Accountant

Evolution Precast is a leading precast concrete manufacturer working on some of Australia’s largest construction and infrastructure projects across QLD, NSW and VIC. We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join our finance team full-time, based at our Glendenning head office.

This role is ideal for a CA or CPA qualified accountant who likes being close to the business: someone equally comfortable in the numbers and out on site with operations teams, who improves processes rather than working around them. You’ll own month-end, the general ledger and project and plant cost reporting across our multi-site, multi-state operation, working closely with the Financial Controller and CFO.

What you’ll do:

Support month-end close across all entities and sites to an agreed timetable

Own general ledger integrity, including journals, accruals, prepayments, provisions and intercompany

Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations each month

Prepare monthly management and regional reports with variance analysis and commentary, and support the consolidated management accounts

Report project margins, revenue recognition and work-in-progress under AASB 15 for supply and supply-and-install contracts

Oversee inventory and finished-goods valuation, including monthly reconciliations and stocktakes across sites

Monitor progress claims, retentions, debtors and creditors with project and commercial teams, and oversee bank reconciliations, payment runs and payment controls

Prepare or review BAS, multi-state payroll tax, FBT and workers compensation declarations, and support year-end statutory accounts, audit and the income tax return

Coordinate the annual budget and quarterly reforecasts with plant, project and operations managers

Provide practical financial insight to Operations, Projects, Procurement and Estimating

Mentor and support the AP/AR team, providing guidance and review where needed

Support our move to a new ERP system, including testing, reconciliation of opening balances and user training

Map, document and improve finance processes, internal controls and procedure manuals

About you:

CA or CPA qualified, with a degree in Accounting, Commerce or Finance

5+ years in financial accounting, reporting and control

Proven experience performing month-end close, reconciliations and general ledger

Sound working knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards, including AASB 15 revenue and AASB 16 leases

Advanced Excel and experience with a mid-market ERP

Clear communicator who can explain numbers to non-finance managers

Hands-on, with high attention to detail and a strong control mindset

Experience in manufacturing, construction, building products or project-based businesses highly regarded

Inventory, product costing or contract/WIP accounting experience advantageous

Multi-entity or multi-state experience, including payroll tax across states, advantageous

ERP implementation or migration experience and exposure to Power BI would be a plus

A Big 4 or mid-tier audit background, now in a first or second commercial role, is welcome

What we offer:

• Exposure to some of Australia’s largest and most significant construction projects
• A supportive, down-to-earth team environment within a business on a significant growth journey
• The opportunity to be part of a major ERP implementation and shape how finance works as the business grows
• Close partnership with the CFO and Financial Controller
• A commitment to continuous learning and development
