Job Description
If you're a hands-on Management Accountant who enjoys getting behind the numbers, understanding
what's driving margins, inventory and business performance
, this is an opportunity to step into a newly created role where your work will have genuine influence.
You'll take ownership of
monthly management reporting, financial accounting, inventory and costing integrity
, while working closely with management to provide accurate information they can use to make better commercial decisions.
A major part of the role will be working within
SAP
, understanding how transactional data flows through the ERP into the financial accounts, identifying discrepancies and getting to the root cause when something doesn't look right. That combination of accounting and ERP capability is central to what they're looking for.
Why Make the Move?
$140,000 - $160,000 + super
Bonus structure | OTE $155,000 - $175,000
Newly created position with genuine scope to make it your own
Solid commercial focus across margins, inventory and performance
Take ownership of management reporting and month-end
Work directly with management and influence commercial decisions
Significant SAP and ERP involvement
Opportunity to improve processes, controls and data integrity
Four days per week or school-hours structure considered for the right person
No payroll or HR responsibilities
The Role
As Management Accountant, you'll provide management with a clear and reliable picture of how the business is performing.
You'll own the monthly accounting and reporting cycle while also getting deeper into the areas that influence
product margins, inventory, purchasing costs and working capital
.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing monthly management accounts




Managing month-end journals and adjustments
Maintaining and reconciling the general ledger
Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and monthly workpapers
Monthly and year-to-date budget variance analysis
Cash-flow forecasting and working capital monitoring
BAS preparation
Budgeting and forecasting
Aged inventory and receivables reporting
Product cost and margin analysis
Inventory and procurement analysis
Liaising with the external accountant for year-end accounts and tax returns
These are all direct elements of the role rather than us stretching the Management Accountant title to fit it.
Where You'll Add Real Value
This is where the role goes beyond producing the monthly accounts.
You'll have responsibility for the integrity of
financial, inventory and costing data within the ERP system
.
If an inventory figure doesn't reconcile or a product cost doesn't look right, you'll be expected to dig into it.
You'll investigate how the transaction has flowed through the system, identify the underlying data or process problem and work through the issue until you understand what's gone wrong.
Just as importantly, you'll be able to explain
what that issue means commercially
in terms of margins, working capital and business performance. That's specifically what the client has identified as the profile they're looking for.
SAP Experience is Essential
This is one area where we need to be clear.
You must have hands-on SAP experience within an accounting or finance environment.




We're looking for someone who understands how transactional data moves through an ERP and ultimately impacts the financial accounts.
Experience with
inventory accounting and product costing
, particularly within manufacturing, wholesale or distribution, will be highly regarded.
A Newly Created Role You Can Make Your Own
This isn't a position where you're simply stepping into someone else's established routine.
You'll have an opportunity to
improve finance processes, strengthen controls, improve reporting and increase confidence in the underlying ERP data
.
For someone who enjoys the combination of
accounting, systems, data and commercial problem-solving
, there's plenty here to get your teeth into.
Requirements
About You
You'll probably describe yourself as a
hands-on Management Accountant
rather than someone who wants to operate purely at a high-level analytical or business-partnering level.
You'll ideally bring:
Strong Management Accounting experience
Hands-on month-end and general ledger capability
Experience preparing management accounts and supporting workpapers
Strong SAP experience (SAP Business 1 highly regarded)
Inventory accounting and product costing experience
Strong ERP and data capability
Budgeting and variance analysis experience
Understanding of cash flow and working capital
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
Confidence investigating discrepancies through to root cause
Ability to communicate financial information clearly to management
A practical, self-directed approach
CA, CPA or IPA is preferred
, although robust relevant experience will also be considered.
Ready for the Next Step?
If you're an experienced Management Accountant with strong
SAP, inventory and costing experience
and want a position where you can genuinely influence the quality of financial information and business decision-making, we'd like to hear from you.
$140,000 - $160,000 + super + bonus, with OTE of $155,000 - $175,000.
