Growing National Business | Broad Accounting Exposure | Career Development

Ready to take your accounting career beyond the numbers?

An exciting opportunity has become available for an ambitious, degree-qualified accounting professional to join a growing national business.

This position would be particularly appealing to someone looking to make their first move from public practice into commerce, or a junior accountant seeking greater variety, responsibility and exposure across the finance function.

Working as part of a collaborative finance team, you'll gain hands-on experience across both financial accounting and day-to-day commercial operations.

The Opportunity

Reporting into the finance team, you'll be involved in a broad range of responsibilities, including:

- Assisting with month-end accounting, journals, reconciliations and reporting
- Supporting accounts payable and accounts receivable activities
- Assisting with fleet management and associated financial administration
- Supporting procurement processes and supplier management
- Assisting with payroll tax and other compliance obligations
- Developing an understanding of payroll operations, controls and processes, without being responsible for payroll processing
- Working closely with stakeholders across the business to resolve issues and improve processes
- Identifying opportunities to streamline existing procedures and improve efficiency
- Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc accounting and operational projects

About You

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, adaptable and keen to build a successful career in accounting. Ideally, you will offer:
- A completed degree in Accounting,



Finance or a related discipline
- An interest in commencing, or having recently commenced, CA or CPA studies
- Some relevant accounting experience, ideally gained in public practice or a junior accounting/finance position
- Sound accounting fundamentals and strong attention to detail
- A willingness to roll up your sleeves and contribute wherever needed
- The confidence to ask questions, challenge processes and think outside the box
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities
- A positive, proactive approach and excellent communication skills

Above all, we're looking for someone with the right attitude, initiative and a genuine desire to learn. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you will be someone who enjoys solving problems, takes ownership and wants to make a difference.

What's on Offer?

- Join an exciting, growing national business
- Excellent opportunity for a first move from public practice into commerce
- Broad exposure across financial accounting, transactional finance and business operations
- Prospect to contribute ideas and improve existing processes
- Supportive team environment with opportunities to learn and develop
