About the Role

This is a new Compliance Accountant role, reporting directly to the CFO. The group has grown a lot over the last few years and recently brought on significant international investment, which comes with new reporting requirements. They need someone to own tax, statutory and governance compliance across all entities. You’ll be based in the eastern suburbs, 5 days in the office.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Oversee tax compliance and lodgements, including corporate tax workpapers and reconciliations
- Run quarterly tax effect accounting (DTA and FITB). This is moving from an annual process to quarterly, so you’ll help set it up
- Manage FBT for 250+ employees, covering vehicles, entertainment and sponsorships, plus payroll tax and other state and federal obligations
- Prepare the information for the external auditors on the statutory financial statements and consolidation, and deal with their queries
- Handle ASIC lodgements, QBCC financial reporting and other entity-level compliance
- Work with external consultants to roll out sustainability reporting under AASB S1 and S2, including emissions data
- Keep the compliance calendar up to date and make sure nothing gets lodged late
- Help with balance sheet reconciliations, fixed asset updates,



month-end and quarterly budgets and forecasts
- Find better ways to do things,

What We’re Looking For

- Degree in Accounting or Commerce, CA or CPA qualified or well on the way
- 3 to 5 years in tax, compliance or financial accounting
- Solid working knowledge of GST, income tax, FBT, payroll tax and Australian Accounting Standards
- Experience in a multi-entity group, ideally in construction or property
- Exposure to foreign-owned groups or overseas parent reporting is a big plus
- Strong Excel skills and experience with an ERP
- Commercial sense and the ability to explain tax to people who’d rather not hear about it
- Comfortable with tight monthly deadlines. Month-end here doesn’t wait for anyone
- A small, hands-on team, so you’re not above rolling your sleeves up
