Candidate Profile:
You are a CA or CPA qualified finance professional with strong technical accounting capability and a genuine interest in complex business environments. Ideally, you have developed your foundation within a Chartered or Big 4 environment before moving into industry, where you've gained exposure to audit, statutory reporting, tax, and technical accounting matters. You enjoy researching accounting issues, preparing technical papers, and working through challenging business scenarios.
Equally important is your mindset. This role suits someone curious, commercially minded, and eager to keep learning. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in ambiguity, taking ownership of projects, and rolling up their sleeves when needed. Exposure to acquisitions, integration projects, or finance transformation initiatives will be highly regarded, although a strong technical accounting background remains the priority.
Company, Culture & Benefits:
This well-established Australian group operates across multiple businesses and is entering a significant growth phase supported by an active acquisition strategy. The finance team is highly collaborative, commercially focused, and committed to continuous improvement. With exposure to senior leadership, strategic projects, and future acquisition activity, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to accelerate their development well beyond a traditional accounting role.
Gain hands-on exposure to acquisitions, integration, and finance transformation projects. Work directly with experienced finance leaders and broaden your technical expertise. Strong opportunity for contract extension and long-term career progression.
