As part of this transformation, we are seeking a technically strong Financial Accountant to join us on a 4-6 month contract to strengthen compliance integrity, improve controls and support the successful system migration.

- Work alongside Moore Australia during the Xero transition to ensure clean data migration and accurate setup
n
- Identify process improvements and strengthen documentation and controls
n
- Liaise confidently with external advisors and senior leadership
n

n

This role suits someone comfortable operating in a changing environment who can maintain compliance stability while systems evolve.

n
- 5+ years' experience in Financial Accounting with strong compliance exposure
