We're partnering with a number of respected organisations across the Newcastle and Hunter region that are seeking commercially minded and capable Financial Accountants and Senior Financial Accountants to join their internal finance teams.

You'll have exposure across the full accounting cycle, supporting month-end reporting, financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting and business partnering, while helping leaders make informed commercial decisions.

Completing balance sheet reconciliations and investigating discrepancies
Preparing journals, accruals, prepayments and provisions
Supporting statutory reporting, compliance and external audit requirements
Assisting with budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
Monitoring fixed assets and capital expenditure
Analysing financial performance, trends and variances




Maintaining effective internal controls and financial integrity
Partnering with operational stakeholders to provide financial insights
Identifying opportunities to strengthen systems, reporting and processes
Preparing ad hoc analysis and reports for senior leaders and executives
About You
You are an experienced Financial Accountant who takes ownership of your work and produces accurate, complete and timely financial information.
You enjoy investigating issues, questioning unusual results and understanding how financial activity connects with broader business operations. You are comfortable working to month-end deadlines, managing competing priorities and communicating with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
Ideally, you'll bring
Tertiary qualifications in Accounting (CPA or CA completed, or currently progressing, highly regarded).
Demonstrated experience in an internal Financial Accountant, Senior Financial Accountant or similar commercial accounting role
Experience working to month-end reporting deadlines and delivering accurate, timely financial information.
