This is a large, complex and highly regarded Australian corporate with a genuinely national (and international) footprint. Operating in a fast‑paced, multi‑entity environment, the business is known for strong governance, sophisticated reporting and a finance function that is deeply embedded in decision‑making - not sitting on the sidelines. With scale comes opportunity: exposure to senior stakeholders, listed‑environment disciplines, and a finance team that values technical excellence and commercial thinking. The culture is professional but pragmatic, with clear investment in developing their people. The role
This is a Group Financial Accountant position sitting within the corporate finance team, offering far more than “month‑end and compliance”. You’ll play a key role in group consolidation, statutory reporting and technical accounting, while also gaining meaningful exposure to FP&A, board‑level reporting and group‑wide commercial insights - making this an ideal first (or second) move out of public practice. Key responsibilities include: Preparation and review of monthly group consolidations, including eliminations Balance sheet ownership and review across multiple entities Supporting half‑year and year‑end statutory reporting and external audit Partnering with regional finance teams to uplift reporting quality Contributing to group FP&A, including budgets, forecasts, variance analysis and commentary Assisting with board, executive and Audit & Risk Committee reporting Exposure to technical areas such as IFRS 16 leases, fixed assets and group accounting policies Involvement in treasury reporting, including cash, debt facilities and covenant monitoring Driving continuous improvement across group reporting and controls This is a role where you’ll quickly move beyond “checking the numbers” and start understanding how the business really works.
