An excellent chance for a Big 4 or mid-tier Senior Auditor looking to make their first move into investment management.

I'm currently recruiting for an established investment management organisation seeking a Financial Accountant to join its finance team.

This is a great opportunity for someone coming from an audit background who wants to move into industry, take greater ownership of financial reporting and gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of listed and unlisted investments.

You'll be working across both financial accounting and fund accounting, providing a good mix of technical reporting, investment exposure and opportunities to develop your career.

The Role:

- Preparing financial statements and supporting statutory reporting across investment entities and funds

- Supporting month-end and year-end reporting, including journals, reconciliations and financial controls

- Reviewing financial information provided by external fund administrators

- Gaining exposure to the accounting and valuation of listed and unlisted investments

- Reviewing investment transactions, management fees and fund-related expenses

- Working closely with internal investment teams, external auditors and other stakeholders

- Identifying opportunities to improve financial reporting processes and controls

About You:

Ideally, you'll be a Senior Auditor or Assistant Manager from a Big 4 or mid-tier accounting firm, with exposure to financial services clients.





We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have worked with funds management, asset management, superannuation or investment businesses.

Alternatively, you may already be working in a Financial Accountant role within financial services.

You'll bring:

- CA/CPA qualified or nearing completion

- Strong financial accounting and statutory reporting experience

- Exposure to financial services, ideally investment management or funds

- Good technical accounting knowledge and Excel skills
- An interest in financial markets and investment products

You don't need to have worked directly in fund accounting to be considered. We're equally interested in candidates with a strong audit background who are keen to develop their experience in this area.

What's on Offer:

- $120k–$150k package + bonus, depending on experience

- Opportunity to make your first move from audit into industry

- Exposure to listed and unlisted investments across different asset classes

- Broad role covering financial reporting, financial control and fund accounting

- Established investment management organisation with an experienced finance team

- Hybrid working arrangements

If you're currently working in audit and considering your first move into industry, or already have financial accounting experience within investment management, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
