Your fit You've spent the last few years developing your technical accounting skills, understanding how businesses operate, working with clients and solving complex financial problems.

But perhaps you're starting to wonder whether a career built around debits and credits, audit files, tax returns and financial statements is really where you see yourself long term.

An established organisation experiencing rapid growth is looking for an ambitious, commercially minded accountant to join its team as a Senior Account Executive.

This is an opportunity to step away from traditional accounting, leverage your financial knowledge and build a career focused on business relationships, commercial problem-solving, negotiation and delivering outcomes.

The Opportunity

Working with a diverse portfolio of organisations, from privately owned SMEs through to large ASX-listed businesses, you'll engage with business owners, CFOs, Finance Directors and senior executives to understand their challenges and deliver tailored commercial solutions.

You will develop meaningful relationships, identify business opportunities and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes.

The role offers exposure to a broad range of industries, business models and commercial environments, allowing you to build on your accounting foundation while developing valuable skills in business development, stakeholder management, negotiation and commercial decision-making.

Your success won't be measured by billable hours or how many financial statements you complete. Instead, you'll be recognised and rewarded for the relationships you build, the problems you solve and the outcomes you deliver.





What You'll Be Doing

- Building business relationships: Developing and maintaining relationships with senior finance professionals, business owners and key decision-makers across a range of industries.
- Understanding business challenges: Leveraging your accounting knowledge to understand organisational structures, financial operations and commercial requirements.
- Identifying opportunities: Engaging with existing and prospective clients to identify business needs and develop tailored solutions.
- Business partnering: Working closely with stakeholders to understand their objectives, provide advice and deliver commercially sound outcomes.

- Collaborating to deliver outcomes: Working alongside experienced colleagues, sharing insights and contributing to broader business objectives.
- Growing your commercial capabilities: Developing expertise in account management, business development and relationship-led commercial activities.
