Reporting to senior management, you'll run the month-end close, prepare management reporting, manage BAS and GST compliance, and make sure the numbers are accurate, timely and well controlled. You'll be the go-to person for financial insight, working closely with management to understand performance and support decision-making.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys owning the full accounting cycle, from day-to-day AP and AR through to month-end and reporting, improving processes and building strong financial controls in a fast-paced environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Process accounts payable and receivable hands-on, including supplier invoices, creditor payments, customer invoicing and debtor follow-up, alongside daily bank and credit card reconciliations.
• Manage ledger integrity in Xero and Eclipse, including inter-account transfers and clearing accounts.
• Monitor cash flow and provide regular cash position reporting.
• Maintain and strengthen financial controls, approval processes and policy compliance.
• Support year-end, working with external accountants and auditors on financial statements and tax.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies, and provide clear explanations to management.
• Identify and lead improvements to accounting processes, systems and reporting.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• A degree in Accounting, Finance or Commerce.
• Hands-on experience in accounts payable and accounts receivable.
• 3+ years' experience in an Accountant or Assistant Accountant role, ideally in a small-to-medium business.
• Proven experience running month-end close and preparing management reports.
• Sound knowledge of BAS, GST and Australian accounting standards.
• Experience with Xero and/or Eclipse (automotive industry experience highly regarded).
• Advanced Excel skills, including reconciliations, lookups and pivot tables.
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing deadlines across two businesses.
• Confidence working independently and communicating financial information clearly to non-finance managers.
• A proactive, solutions-focused attitude and a drive for continuous improvement.
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is reliable, takes ownership of their work and brings a positive, can-do attitude to the team.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Ownership of the finance function across two dynamic businesses.
• A collaborative and supportive team within a growing, established automotive group.
• Long-term career progression across the Tony White Group.
• Exclusive employee discounts and benefits through Flare.
