About the Role

We’re looking for a commercially astute Company Accountant to join our Port Melbourne team. This is a career-building role with a clear growth trajectory: you’ll start by embedding yourself in our financial operations and supporting a key business stream, then progressively take on leadership of the full finance function as you demonstrate your capability and confidence.

You will start by owning financials for a key business stream, gaining deep operational insight. As you prove capability, you'll progressively step into broader leadership

- ultimately taking ownership of the finance function.
- Explicit progression to Finance leads
- High visibility with leadership and UK parent
- Real influence over business decisions, not just reporting

Main duties and responsibilities of the role : You’ll build a deep understanding of our business by working closely with one business stream before expanding your remit across the organisation. Day to day, you’ll be responsible for:

- Own month-end close and balance sheet integrity.




- Managing inventory accuracy, including periodic and year-end stock counts
- Supporting the annual budget process and contributing to our five-year plan
- Liaising with external advisors including auditors, banks, and tax advisers
- Playing an active role in our IFS ERP implementation, contributing finance expertise to system design and process decisions
- Coaching colleagues across the business to understand the financial impact of their decisions — cost, cash, WIP, stock, and project accounting

- Strong communication skills — you’ll present financial information to non-finance stakeholders
- A proactive, independent mindset with genuine commercial curiosity

You’ll be expected to bring professionalism, independence, and genuine commercial curiosity to everything you do — this is a role for someone who wants to be a real business partner, not just a numbers processor.
