Commercial Accountant Job Description
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step out of a public practice environment into a commercially focused accounting role. The Commercial Accountant will play a key role in supporting the financial management of construction projects from start to finish.
You'll collaborate closely with operations and the finance team to ensure accurate reporting, forecasting, and compliance. This involves:
* Assisting with project cost forecasting and financial performance reporting
* Analysing budget-to-actual variances and supporting documentation for project variations
* Preparing project invoicing and resolving accounting-related project issues
* Completing month-end journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
* Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and weekly cashflow reporting
* Assisting with tax documentation and statutory lodgements
The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Commerce, or similar. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail are essential. Excellent communication skills are also required, especially when working with non-financial stakeholders.
Bonus points go to those with CPA or CA certification (or working towards it) and experience in the construction or industrial sectors.
If you're ready to take that first step out of public practice but want to work closely with operations, this position may be suitable for you.
