THE ROLE

Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager, you'll help keep the group's financial reporting accurate, timely and well controlled.

  • Preparing statutory financial statements for the group and its subsidiaries.
  • Producing group-level monthly reporting, including inputs to the monthly CFO Report, quarterly forecasts and the annual Business Plan.
  • Running month-end GL close, including journals and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Contributing to technical accounting papers for the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.
  • Maintaining and developing group accounting policies and procedure documents.
  • Supporting the external audit from start to finish as a key point of contact for the auditors.
  • Driving process improvements across the group close and reporting cycle.
  • Working closely with divisional CFOs and Financial Controllers, the international finance teams, FP&A, Legal, Co Sec, and Risk and Compliance.

ABOUT YOU

  • Fully CA or CPA qualified.
  • Australian citizen or permanent resident. Visa sponsorship is not available, and the client can't consider visa holders for this role.
  • 2-4 years' experience, ideally from external audit (Big 4 preferred) with financial services clients, or from the Group Financial Control or Group Reporting team of an ASX-listed company.
  • Solid working knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards and financial statement preparation.

Strong Excel skills.

Exposure to Tech One, One Stream, TM1 or similar systems is a bonus.

  • A clear communicator who builds good relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Detail-focused, self-managing and always looking for a better way to do things.

  • You'll get exposure to the CFO, Board committees and international finance teams early in your career.
  • You'll work on group reporting for a complex ASX-listed business, which is excellent experience for a future Financial Controller or Group Reporting role.
