A large organisation with an extensive operational footprint is looking to add a Operations Accountant to its finance team.
Finance plays an important role in supporting the performance of the broader business, providing operational leaders with greater visibility over costs, performance and key financial drivers.
With established operations and continued investment in its finance capability, this is an opportunity to join a team where commercial insight and continuous improvement are highly valued.
The Role
This role will see you work across several operational areas, using financial and operational information to help stakeholders better understand performance and make informed decisions.

Key responsibilities include:
Preparing monthly management reporting and performance commentary
Analysing results across operational KPIs, costs and key business drivers
Investigating variances and communicating findings to stakeholders
Supporting annual budgets, forecasts and ongoing financial planning
Working with operational leaders to improve visibility over financial performance
Completing month-end journals, accruals, allocations and balance sheet reviews
Identifying trends, risks and opportunities through financial and operational analysis
Supporting audit,



controls and governance requirements
Contributing to improvements across reporting, systems and finance processes
About You
You'll be a commercially curious accountant who enjoys understanding why results have moved rather than simply reporting what happened.

You'll bring:
Tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
Management/Operational accounting, commercial finance or similar experience
CA/CPA qualification or studies will be advantageous
Strong budgeting, forecasting and management reporting capability
Confidence analysing large volumes of financial and operational data
Advanced Excel skills and experience working with ERP or reporting systems
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
A proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement
Experience within a larger, operational or multi-site environment would be particularly relevant.

Genuine exposure to operational and commercial decision-making
Work directly with stakeholders across multiple areas of the business
Established finance function with strong support and mentorship
Opportunity to develop your commercial finance capability
Market-competitive salary package and longer-term progression opportunities
