Ready to lead a finance team at an agency that's growing fast?
A global advertising and media agency in Sydney is looking for a Finance Manager to take ownership of the numbers. You'll run the month end, look after tax and compliance, report to head office and lead a close knit team. It's a hands on role for someone who wants to make the function better, not only keep it ticking over.

Supporting Pillar Two and Country by Country reporting
Running overhead control, IFRS 16 lease accounting and the fixed asset register
Partnering with the account service and production teams on job profitability and cost control
Leading, coaching and developing the finance team




Improving processes and automating manual reporting
About you:
CPA or CA qualified, with at least five years post qualification and some leadership experience
Strong technical accounting knowledge, including IFRS 16
Experience preparing group reporting packs for an overseas parent or head office
Hands on Australian tax compliance, including BAS, FBT and company income tax
Exposure to transfer pricing, Pillar Two and Country by Country reporting, or the technical skills to pick them up
Agency, media, professional services or other project based WIP experience is ideal. Mid tier and Big 4 backgrounds are welcome.
Advanced Excel and confidence with large data sets and finance systems
Strong communication skills and the ability to work well with non finance teams
What makes it a great place to work:
A growing business with a positive, supportive team culture
A team that's keen to learn, and the chance to shape their development
Versatile working and a modern office with a creative agency feel
A manager who's easy to reach, and a leadership group that backs development
