Some people dread month-end. You're the one who makes it boring, on purpose, because you'd spot a typo in a spreadsheet from across the room. We're after a Financial Accountant who gets genuine satisfaction from a reconciliation that closes clean, first go, every month. You'll own designated balance sheet reconciliations, keep our general ledger honest, and make sure our month-end close cycle runs like clockwork, not like a fire drill.
Based at our Arundel head office, you'll work closely with our Senior Financial Controller and Finance Manager, support statutory compliance (BAS, FBT, payroll tax workpapers), and get a genuine seat at the table as we rebuild our finance system from the ground up.
Some of the must-haves:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Commerce or Finance
- 3+ years in a financial or management accounting role
- Strong Excel skills across reconciliations, schedules and variance analysis
- Working knowledge of accounting standards relevant to a trading entity
- Someone who hits monthly close deadlines without being chased, and flags issues early rather than sitting on them
- CA or CPA, completed or well underway
- Big 4 or mid-tier firm background, particularly audit
- Exposure to construction, civil or another project-based industry
- Multi-entity or group reporting and consolidation experience
- ERP experience, especially Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
What's in it for you:
- Genuine multi-entity exposure, not a single ledger you'll know inside out by month three
- Direct involvement in our Business Central rebuild: you'll help shape how the system works, not just live with what you're given
- A real progression path as our finance team scales
- A close-knit finance team that backs each other through the crunch weeks
