Assistant Management Accountant

Who we are The new Sydney Fish Market (nSFM) is the southern hemisphere’s largest fish market, one of Australia’s most visited attractions, and the beating heart of the nation’s seafood industry.

With a-once-in-a-generation precinct that redefines the retail, dining, and wholesale experience on Sydney’s waterfront now in operation, we are looking for a curious, detail-focused Assistant Management Accountant to support two of our revenue-generating business units: Seafood Trading (auction, wharf, ice and crate services) and Visitor Experience (Sydney Seafood School, VE Tours and the Marketing budget).

If you enjoy a fast-paced, high-profile environment and have a knack for stakeholder coordination and problem-solving—this is a great opportunity to join a small Finance team.

The Opportunity

Working under the direction of the Finance Business Partner, you will provide technical accounting, transactional and analytical support. You will manage the day-to-day accounting for both business units, prepare the data and schedules behind our monthly reporting, budgets and forecasts, and develop the analyses that support commercial decision-making.

What You'll Do

- Reconcile and recognise revenue across Seafood Trading and Visitor Experience, including FareHarbour and Square receipts
- Prepare month-end journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations
- Support invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, and resolve customer and supplier queries
- Prepare Aged Debt, Debtor Days and bad debt provision reporting
- Build and maintain analytical models, dashboards and BI reports, and draft commentary on results and trends
- Support budgeting, forecasting and KPI reporting for Seafood Trading, Visitor Experience and Marketing




- Support audit requirements and identify opportunities to automate and improve processes
- Provide responsive finance support to operational teams across the business

About You

- A degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, with a CA / CPA qualification completed or in progress
- A minimum of 2–3 years' experience in an accounting role, including month-end close, journals and reconciliations
- Strong Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, modelling); exposure to BI tools such as Power BI is advantageous
- Familiarity with accounting systems (Technology One, Dynamics Business Central) and with auction, booking or point-of-sale platforms (AAS, FareHarbour, Square) is advantageous
- Experience in a trading, wholesale, hospitality, tourism, retail or events environment
- Analytical and curious, with high attention to detail and strong organisational skills
- A clear communicator who is comfortable working with non-finance teams
- A proactive, collaborative team player who is eager to learn and open to feedback and coaching

Good To Know

- This is a mainly office-based role, with occasional early-morning attendance at the auction floor or Visitor Experience activities outside standard business hours
- Occasional business travel may be required
- The successful applicant will need a National Police Record Check and Finance Background Check (or approval for SFM to conduct a background check)
- Professional development support, including CA / CPA studies where applicable

What’s in it for you?

Once in a lifetime prospect to work in a truly dynamic site-based environment where you will build on strengths and change the way we deliver for our stakeholders.
