Put your technical accounting expertise to work in a fast-paced business where accuracy, independence and delivery matter.
About the Company
Behind some of Australia's essential resources and infrastructure operations are specialist businesses delivering the expertise, equipment and services that keep industries moving.
Our client operates in this environment, with a diverse operational footprint, multiple business entities and financial activities extending across domestic and international markets.
The complexity of its operations creates an interesting accounting environment, where technical knowledge, commercial understanding and attention to detail are equally important.
About the Role
This is an opportunity for an experienced Senior Financial Accountant to step into a busy finance function and provide immediate support across financial reporting, statutory compliance and technical accounting. You'll be hands-on across month-end reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, group consolidations, intercompany transactions and foreign currency accounting.
A particular focus will be taxation, including income tax calculations, tax reconciliations and the preparation of supporting schedules and documentation. The assignment will also involve preparing and reviewing financial statements, applying Australian Accounting Standards, supporting audit requirements and investigating complex accounting matters to ensure accurate and timely reporting. Working alongside an experienced finance team, you'll be trusted to manage your workload, resolve issues independently and maintain momentum across critical reporting deadlines. Initially offered as a three-month temporary assignment, there may be an opportunity for a longer-term or permanent appointment.
About You
You're a technically strong, CA or CPA qualified accountant who enjoys being close to the detail and takes pride in producing accurate, reliable financial information. Your experience will include complex month-end reporting, statutory accounts, multi-entity consolidations and intercompany accounting. You'll also bring practical knowledge of Australian taxation requirements, particularly income tax calculations, tax-effect accounting and the preparation of supporting workpapers. Exposure to foreign currency accounting, Australian Accounting Standards and listed company reporting requirements will be highly regarded. Importantly, you're not someone who simply reviews the work of others. You're confident preparing calculations, investigating discrepancies, interpreting accounting treatments and working through complex issues yourself. You'll be comfortable joining a business at short notice, quickly understanding its systems and processes, and contributing without extensive supervision.
Culture Fit
You'll suit an environment where people are practical, approachable and focused on getting things done. You're naturally curious, comfortable asking questions and confident working through challenges without needing every answer provided. You communicate clearly, build relationships easily and understand the importance of supporting the wider team while taking ownership of your own deliverables.
Why Move?
If you enjoy the technical side of accounting and the challenge of getting across a new business quickly, this assignment offers plenty to keep you engaged. You'll work across varied accounting activities, navigate the complexities of a multi-entity environment and have the autonomy to apply your expertise where it's needed most. It’s an opportunity to make an immediate contribution, broaden your commercial exposure and potentially establish a longer-term relationship with the business.
