About the role

We're looking for a Systems Accountant to look after our finance systems and help us get more out of them. You'll run our finance platforms day to day, keep our data clean, keep our controls tight and build the reporting the business relies on.

This is a hands-on role reporting to the Finance Systems & Reporting Manager. You'll work closely with Finance, IT and the wider business to turn business needs into practical system solutions.

What you'll do

- Administer and support our core finance modules (general ledger, AP, AR, fixed assets, budgeting and consolidation), including configuration, chart of accounts, master data and vendor upgrades
- Keep financial data accurate through reconciliations, control monitoring, segregation of duties and audit support
- Provide level 2 support to finance system users, manage user access and run training for new and existing staff
- Work with IT and our vendors to resolve system issues at the root cause so they don't come back
- Find and deliver improvements such as workflow automation, automated reconciliations, upgrades, integrations and UAT
- Build and maintain reporting datasets, Power BI dashboards and self-service reports for month-end, year-end, budgeting and forecasting
- Support month-end close, system journals and the preparation of statutory financial statements
- Keep system documentation and procedures up to date so others can easily pick them up

About you

easy to work with and comfortable managing competing priorities.

What you'll need

- A degree in Accounting, Finance or Commerce
- At least 5 years' experience in finance or accounting, including hands-on work with an ERP finance system
- Advanced Excel skills (including Power Query) with solid Power BI experience
- A strong understanding of accounting principles, internal controls, master data and chart of accounts structures
- Clear communication skills with the ability to work well across Finance, IT and operational teams
- Flexibility to work reasonable additional hours at peak times and travel to other sites when needed

It would be great if you also have:
- Experience with a Tier 1 ERP
- A background in a commercially focused private sector business, ideally a medium to large national organisation
- Involvement in an ERP implementation, upgrade or data migration
- A CA or CPA qualification, or progress towards one
