You’ll join a small, capable finance team in an established Australian group with public reporting obligations. There’s no separate FP&A; function, so commercial analysis sits with this role. The split starts at about 70% reporting and 30% commercial, and the plan is to grow the commercial side towards 50/50. You’ll report to the Group Financial Controller and lead one Financial Accountant.
About the Role
Reporting into the Commercial Finance Manager, the key responsibilities include:
- Prepare half-year and year-end financial statements, and manage the external audit and review process
- Look after tax calculations for the accounts, and work with external advisers on tax compliance
- Lead sustainability reporting with support from the team and advisers. Prior experience isn’t needed, just a willingness to learn it.
- Oversee lease accounting and review your direct report’s work
- Manage balance sheet reconciliations and fixed asset decisions
- Partner with senior operational leaders on performance reporting, targets and analysis
- Support a business unit in growth mode with P&L; analysis, forecasting and cost management
- Contribute to board reporting and modelling for business decisions
About You
To be successful in this role, you will ideally possess:
- CA or CPA qualified, a few years post-qualification
- Started in audit (Big 4 or mid-tier), now in your first or second commercial role
- Exposure to lease accounting and working with external auditors
- Some people leadership, even if it’s informal
- Confident explaining numbers to non-finance leaders, and curious enough to question the data
If you’re a Senior Financial Accountant ready for a manager title, or a reporting specialist who wants to build commercial experience, this role is open to you.
