Turn the numbers into decisions. Not just reports.

Our client is a well-established Australian traffic management business with a large operational workforce, a major vehicle and equipment fleet, and long-term customer relationships. They are growing, and the CFO needs a Management Accountant who wants to understand how the business actually makes money.

This is not a transactional accounting role. You will explain why results changed, spot margin problems early, and help management decide what to do next.

The role

You will be one of three people in the finance team, working with the CFO and an Accounts Officer. Day to day, you will:

- Own monthly management reporting: P&L;, budget vs actual, prior year comparisons, EBITDA and NPAT, with clear commentary

- Investigate variances and explain what is driving them

- Build and maintain budgets, rolling forecasts and 13-week cash-flow forecasts

- Analyse customer and contract profitability, and flag margin deterioration early

- Report on labour, subcontractor and fleet costs, including vehicle utilisation and lease vs buy decisions

- Track capex, working capital, debtor days and collections

- Run key parts of month-end: journals, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and balance sheet reconciliations

- Prepare supporting schedules for the monthly Board pack

- Improve reporting, automate manual tasks and strengthen financial controls

- 3 to 6 years' accounting experience, including management or commercial accounting

- Solid grasp of P&L; and balance sheet accounting

What is on offer

- $105,000 to $120,000 plus superannuation, based on skills and experience

- Direct reporting line to the CFO

- Exposure to senior management and Board-level reporting
