Company Overview
Our client is a privately owned investment platform operating across private equity, credit, and real estate. With a centralised shared services model, the business supports a diverse portfolio of entities and is focused on long‐term value creation through disciplined investment strategies. This is an opportunity to join a growing finance team in a broad, technically strong role with exposure across financial reporting, tax, and group structures.
The Role
Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager, you will play a key role across financial control, statutory reporting, and tax compliance for a complex multi‐entity group (~150 entities). Working closely with the CFO and Head of Tax, Risk & Governance, you will ensure financial integrity, compliance, and the effective delivery of reporting obligations across the Group. This role is best suited to a technically strong accountant looking to step into industry, with a focus on true accounting and tax ownership rather than commercial FP&A.

* Coordinate income tax returns, BAS/GST, and FBT compliance
* Support tax provisioning and tax effect accounting
* Maintain the tax compliance calendar and liaise with external advisors
* Manage the external audit process and act as key contact for auditors
* Oversee finance operations including AP, AR, and general ledger processes
* Review outputs from offshore finance support team and ensure quality and timeliness
* Identify opportunities to improve processes, controls, and reporting efficiency
* Support finance transformation and system improvement initiatives
The Candidate
You will ideally come from a mid‐tier accounting firm (Business Services / Private Clients), looking to make your first move into industry.
* Strong technical accounting and tax compliance experience
* Experience working across multi‐entity structures (companies, trusts, groups)
* Ownership of balance sheet reconciliations and financial reporting
* A high attention to detail and strong compliance mindset
* The ability to manage processes and review work across a broader team structure
Qualifications
* CA / CPA qualified (or near completion)
* Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
* 5–8 years' experience in accounting, tax, or financial reporting
* Experience within mid‐tier accounting firm or similar environment
