4 to 5 years in senior financial reporting or financial control roles
Hands on experience preparing consolidated accounts, managing lodgements and coordinating external audits
Construction, engineering, property development or another project driven background highly regarded
Exposure to insurance portfolios or financial risk instruments an advantage
What's On Offer
Total package $140,000 to $150,000 including super. Hybrid working, four days in the office in Melbourne's inner east.
A close working relationship with the CFO, auditors, brokers and advisers. The first 90 days centre on month end, statutory reporting and balance sheet governance. Over year one, the scope extends to control maturity, treasury and insurance oversight across a growing national group.
