Graduate Accountant

This is a great place to start if you enjoy getting the numbers right.

This is a hands-on graduate role, ideal for your first step into accounting. You will learn how a sports business runs behind the scenes, from paying suppliers to helping with the year end audit.

Our last Graduate Accountant has moved into a new role with us, so there is a clear path to grow here too.

About Us

The NBL Group is the rapid-moving, growth-focused, entrepreneurial sports and entertainment business behind Australia's two premier basketball competitions: the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

We sit at the centre of one of Australia's fastest-growing sports. Beyond the two elite leagues, we play a key role in the NBL1 competition and an expanding portfolio of major events and aligned products. We move at pace, think big, and operate as a high-performance, commercially driven, growth-focused organisation, with reach across broadcast, digital, live experiences and international markets, and the ambition to match it.

We are also a business that is deliberately evolving. We challenge how things have been done, invest in new ways of working, and back people who bring fresh thinking to big problems. Change and innovation here isn't a disruption; it's the operating model.
