Ready to move from being one of many in a big finance team to actually owning the numbers?

We're recruiting for a quick-growing business that's scaling quickly and needs a hands-on Senior Financial Accountant. This isn't a role where you'll be siloed into one narrow function. You'll be across month-end close, hands-on AP/AR, and genuinely shaping how the finance team operates as the business grows.

n

Key Responsibilities:

n

n
Acting as right-hand support to the Finance Lead, bridging management and the wider team
n
Collaborate with the AP/AR function across close cycles, keeping accruals, billing, revenue recognition, payroll journals and asset reconciliations accurate and on track
n
Owning month-end close - reconciliations, journals, reporting
n
Getting hands-on with AP/AR and fixing process gaps as you find them
n
Driving process improvements in a fast-paced, still-evolving setting
n
Be the go-to contact for external auditors and run the annual audit process
n
Support budgeting and forecasting,



adding commentary that helps stakeholders make sense of the numbers
n
Supporting BAS/IAS, GST and FBT lodgements
n
Mentoring junior or outsourced team members
n

n

What We're Looking For:

n

n
Recent, hands-on AP/AR experience - not just oversight
n
Solid all-round accounting background (month-end, reconciliations, statutory reporting)
n
A proactive self-starter who's comfortable in a smaller, less structured environment
n
Strong stakeholder communication skills
n
Experience driving process improvements or supporting system/ERP upgrades
n
CA/CPA qualified or working towards it (not essential - mindset matters more)
n

n

Why Apply:

n

n
Hybrid working
n
Real ownership over your work and direct exposure to leadership
n
Young, fun, energetic team culture
n
Health & wellbeing support (private healthcare, wellbeing incentives)
n
Shape a finance function from the ground up, not just maintain someone else's system
