Job Brief
Our client is looking for a hands on Financial Accountant to take ownership of audit and tax deliverables through a complex reporting period, with a secondary focus on technical accounting and finance process improvement.
About Our Client
Our client is a large, multi entity group with an active acquisition strategy that adds ongoing complexity to its finance function. The finance team operates in a fast moving environment where priorities shift and the work is rarely routine, offering broad exposure to audit, tax, and technical accounting.
Responsibilities
Support the integration of newly acquired entities into group reporting, including opening balance sheet review and cleanup
Assist with purchase price allocation and the accounting treatment of acquisitions as they occur
Support the year end statutory audit process, liaising with external auditors and preparing supporting schedules
Assist with tax return support, workpapers and reconciliations across BAS, FBT and income tax
Apply AASB standards to technical accounting positions across leases, provisions and equity related transactions
Contribute to process improvement as the finance function adapts existing templates and models to new acquisitions
Requirements
CA or CPA qualified, or in the final stages
Genuine exposure to acquisition or M&A; accounting, whether from a due diligence, integration, or opening balance sheet perspective
Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast changing, less structured environment
Exposure to audit and tax processes highly regarded, though not the primary requirement
Experience in a multi entity or group structure environment highly regarded
Strong written communication, able to summarise technical positions clearly for non technical stakeholders
Available at short notice
What's on Offer
A role with genuine variety, working across acquisition accounting, technical accounting and general reporting rather than a single narrow function. Clear deliverables and timelines despite the pace of the environment. Robust potential to convert to a permanent position once the initial period is complete. On site parking.
