The Opportunity

Our client is a leading financial services business with a significant Melbourne presence and a strong market reputation. This is a rare opportunity to step into a Financial Accounting Manager role and take real ownership of the financial accounting function within a fast-moving, high-performing environment.

This role is ideally suited to a Manager or Senior Manager currently in a Big 4 or mid-tier audit setting looking to make their first move into industry. You'll bring technical rigour, energy and leadership to a team that sits close to the action: delivering reporting, partnering with senior stakeholders, and helping the business make sharper decisions. It's a demanding environment that rewards people who are switched on, commercially minded and thrive in ambiguity.

- Prepare statutory financial statements and manage the external audit relationship




- Provide technical accounting guidance and interpret the impact of new accounting standards
- Lead, mentor and develop the financial accounting team
