West Recruitment is exclusively partnering with a high-growth organisation operating within the renewable energy sector to recruit multiple newly created Operations Accountant positions.

With an established Australian operation and significant growth in the pipeline, the business is continuing to invest in its Finance capability.

This is an exciting time to join a growing organisation where Finance works closely with operational and commercial teams, with genuine opportunity to take ownership, improve processes and grow your career as the business scales.

About your new Role Working as part of the Finance team and partnering closely with operational stakeholders, you will take ownership of financial accounting and settlement processes associated with the organisation's growing portfolio of renewable energy assets.

This is a hands-on role combining financial accounting, complex reconciliations, operational data and process improvement. You will investigate the numbers rather than simply accepting them at face value, working across Finance and Operations to ensure financial outcomes accurately reflect underlying operational activity.

Your responsibilities will include:

Owning settlement, payment and reconciliation processes relating to renewable energy operations

Reconciling financial transactions against underlying operational and trading data, investigating and resolving variances

Performing month-end accounting including journals, accruals, reconciliations and variance analysis

Supporting revenue recognition and accounting for operational and commercial arrangements





Working across multi-entity, intercompany, fixed asset and/or capital project accounting depending on your experience

Supporting external audit through preparation of reconciliations, analysis and accounting documentation

Building, documenting and improving accounting processes, policies and financial controls

Identifying opportunities to automate processes and improve the efficiency and scalability of Finance

Working closely with Finance, Operations and other stakeholders to understand the commercial activity behind the numbers

About You You will bring a strong technical accounting foundation, ideally developed within a Big 4 or mid-tier accounting firm, combined with an interest in working closer to the operational side of a growing renewable energy business.

You will ideally have:

CA/CPA qualification with a strong grounding in financial accounting, ideally gained within a Big 4 or mid-tier accounting environment

Previous experience within renewable energy, energy markets or another asset-intensive sector such as infrastructure, utilities or property development will be highly regarded

Experience within financial accounting, audit, financial control, revenue accounting or a similar role





Strong month-end, reconciliation and financial accounting capability

AEMO/NEM settlements experience will be highly desirable but not essential

Exposure to intercompany/multi-entity accounting, fixed assets, capital projects or technical accounting will be advantageous

Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with complex data from multiple sources

Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both Finance and non-finance stakeholders

Most importantly, you will bring an agile and proactive mindset. You will be naturally curious, willing to investigate discrepancies and ask why, and comfortable taking initiative in an environment where not every process has already been built for you.

What's in it for You?

$130,000 - $150,000 + Super + Bonus depending on experience and suitability

Permanent, newly created position due to growth

Transparent and tangible career growth opportunities

Amazing team culture and manager who is invested in your development

Sydney CBD location

1x day WFH initially with a chance that could increase with time

Exposure to an interesting combination of accounting, operations, data and renewable energy

Opportunity to become a key member of a growing Finance team

If you're an Accountant who enjoys understanding what sits behind the numbers, improving the way things are done and taking ownership rather than simply following an established process, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
