Complex structure that is more than just routine number crunching
Develop your commercial acumen- collaborate across finance + operations
Join a business for your career, not just a job
About the Company
Our client is a privately owned business with a diverse portfolio of operations and investments. Having experienced consistent growth over recent years, they have built a reputation for taking a long-term approach, maintaining a strong culture and creating opportunities for their people to develop alongside the business. With a lean and highly engaged team, this is an environment where individuals are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas and gain genuine exposure to how a business operates beyond the finance function.
About the Role
Reporting to an experienced Finance Manager, you'll play a key role within a small finance team, supporting the day-to-day running of the finance function while gaining exposure to a wide range of accounting and commercial activities.
This is not a role where you'll spend the next few years simply processing the same transactions on repeat. It will suit someone who enjoys variety, wants to understand how a business works and is motivated by finding better ways of doing things.
Key responsibilities include:
Month-end reporting and reconciliations
Statutory and corporate reporting
Financial analysis and investigation of variances
Payroll for a small salaried workforce
Supporting reporting requirements across a multi-entity group structure
Contributing to process improvements and helping enhance the capability of the finance function
You'll have the opportunity to work closely with leaders across the business, develop your commercial acumen and gain exposure that is often difficult to find in more traditional accounting roles.
About You
We're looking for a CA/CPA qualified Accountant with commercial experience who enjoys getting involved, takes ownership of their work and wants to continue developing your career.
Ideally, you'll bring:
Experience as an Accountant or Financial Accountant
Strong financial reporting and reconciliation experience
Well-developed analytical and problem-solving skills
Strong attention to detail coupled with a commercial mindset
Intermediate to advanced Excel skills
The ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment
You'll also be someone who:
Is curious by nature and enjoys understanding the "why" behind the numbers
Looks for solutions rather than simply identifying problems
Enjoys improving processes and finding efficiencies
Can balance both a technical accounting and commercial lens in their work
Thrives in a collaborative, office-based environment
Wants a role that will continue to evolve as they do
Most importantly, you'll be motivated by learning, growth and becoming a genuine contributor to the business. If your goal is to be doing exactly the same tasks in two or three years' time, this probably isn't the right opportunity. If you're looking for a role where you can broaden your skillset, gain exposure and grow alongside a business, we'd love to hear from you.
What's on Offer?
Broad exposure across a complex, multi-entity environment
A hands-on role with genuine ownership and accountability
Direct access to experienced leaders and decision-makers
The opportunity to develop both your technical and commercial skillset
A down-to-earth, collaborative and motivated team
Strong work-life balance, with overtime not being the norm
Long-term career development as the business continues to grow and evolve
