We are seeking a commercially minded Company Accountant to take full ownership of the finance function across a portfolio of emerging businesses.

Backed by Mader Group, this role offers the stability and structure of a large, established organisation, combined with the pace, autonomy, and variety of a startup environment.

You’ll work across multiple industries and business models, partnering closely with the Director of Emerging Businesses and operational leaders to provide meaningful financial insight, support decision-making and help drive performance.

The Role

This is a true end-to-end accounting role with full accountability across several developing entities. You will manage the complete accounting lifecycle, from transactional processing through to statutory reporting and commercial analysis.

The role suits someone who enjoys building structure, improving processes, and being embedded in the business — not sitting on the sidelines.

You will report directly to the Director of Emerging Businesses.
