Help us keep the dough — and the numbers — rolling.
At Daniel’s Donuts, we take donuts seriously. Accounting? Also seriously. But that doesn’t mean we have to sound boring.
We’ve built a cult following for classics like Nutella, Fresh Jam & Cream, and plenty of other dangerously delicious creations. Now, we’re growing fast — expanding our manufacturing, retail and wholesale operations and gone national into the likes of big players such as 7-Eleven and Bunnings.
Behind all those donuts is a serious business: high-volume manufacturing, a growing retail and wholesale network, private equity backing, and a founder-led team that knows the bakery business inside out.
We have also moved to a single ERP system — Odoo— and scaling what works. That means we need smart, capable people who enjoy getting stuck into the numbers, solving problems and helping build a high-performing team and culture.
That’s where you come in.
The role
As our Financial Accountant, you’ll work closely with the Group Financial Controller to keep the financial engine humming.
You’ll be across month-end, reconciliations, credit management, reporting, compliance, AR/AP and our shiny new Odoo workplace.
In other words: you’ll make sure the numbers add up, the cash keeps moving and nothing gets left sitting in the financial equivalent of the oven too long.
You’ll work with people across AR/AP, our Philippines team, LK Tax and internal budget holders — so this is a role for someone who likes numbers and people.
Month-end & reconciliations
Help prepare and review month-end journals, including accruals, prepayments and intercompany entries.
Own reconciliations for your assigned GL accounts and chase down anything that doesn’t quite smell right.
Prepare balance sheet schedules and working papers for GFC review.
Help pull together the group management accounts and provide useful variance explanations.
Keep everything accurate, supported and audit-ready — because future-you will thank you.
You’ll be the guardian of our customer credit process.
Assess credit applications and recommend appropriate credit limits.
Review customer payment behaviour and credit risk.
Maintain the customer credit register and keep limits up to date.
Put credit holds in place when customers breach agreed terms.
Escalate high‑risk debtors, disputes and potential bad debts to the GFC with recommendations.
Get the right approvals for higher‑risk or higher‑value credit decisions.
Basically, you’ll help make sure we’re selling plenty of donuts without giving away the bakery for free.
Prepare BAS/GST reconciliations and work with the LK Group Tax team to meet lodgement deadlines.
Assist with statutory accounts and external audit requirements.
Prepare audit working papers and respond to queries promptly.
Support PAYG, FBT, payroll tax, WorkCover and other compliance reporting as required.
Support the GFC with cash flow forecasting and day-to-day AR/AP activities.
Keep an eye on the AR ageing and follow up overdue customers.
Help manage claims and escal …
Oversee AP processing to make sure invoices are approved, coded correctly and paid on time.
Support the Payroll Manager with payroll payments.
Perform regular AR and AP reconciliations back to the GL.
We have moved to new ERP - Odoo,
and we want our financial data to be as clean as a freshly glazed donut.
You’ll:
Process accounting transactions accurately in Odoo.
Help maintain a clean, reliable general ledger.
Spot data‑quality issues and raise them before they become bigger problems.
Support system clean‑up and data integrity initiatives.
You’ll be someone who:
Has 5+ years of progressive experience in financial accounting or related roles.
Has hands‑on experience supporting month‑end close processes, including journals, reconciliations and reporting.
Holds a CA, CPA or equivalent professional qualification, or is currently working towards one.
Knows their way around month‑end accounting and reconciliations.
Understands credit management and likes keeping risk under control.
Has experience with GST/BAS and financial compliance.
Can confidently oversee AR/AP processes.
Is comfortable working with ERP systems — Odoo experience is a bonus.
Has exceptional attention to detail and takes pride in getting the numbers right.
Can spot when something doesn't look right and isn't afraid to ask questions.
Can work collaboratively across different teams and locations.
Likes a fast‑moving environment where things are growing, changing and occasionally getting a little messy.
Because you’ll be joining a business with big ambitions, a genuinely loved brand and plenty of room to grow.
We’re building the foundations for national expansion, investing in systems and people, and creating a culture where high performance and safety go hand in hand.
And yes, there will probably be donuts.
If you’re a Financial Accountant who likes good numbers, good people and the occasional Nutella-filled reward, we’d love to hear from you.
