Offer description

Are you a commercially minded Cost Accountant looking to step into a role where you can genuinely influence how a business operates and grows?

We are partnering with two high‐performing organisations in Western Sydney experiencing strong growth and investing in their finance functions. As a result, we are looking to connect with talented professionals with strong costing skills who can partner closely with the business and drive meaningful change.

These roles report directly to the CFO and offer real visibility, influence and the opportunity to shape how decisions are made.

Opportunity

You'll be embedded in the business, working alongside key stakeholders across finance and operations to drive performance and inform decision‐making.

You will play a key role in establishing, refining and embedding costing frameworks, while acting as a trusted partner to operational leaders.

* Partnering closely with the business to provide insights that drive smarter, commercially sound decisions
* Developing and enhancing costing models and standards
* Translating financial data into meaningful insights for non‐finance stakeholders
* Analysing margins, variances and key cost drivers
* Supporting budgeting, forecasting and strategic planning
* Driving process improvements and system enhancement
Candidate

We are open to candidates from different industry backgrounds, with experience in either:

* Manufacturing/FMCG environments, with strong exposure to standard costing, inventory and production environments
* Infrastructure/construction/project‐based environments, with experience in project costing, job costing or large‐scale operational cost management

In addition, you will:

* Be confident engaging with stakeholders across all levels of the business
* Enjoy working closely with operations and being part of the decision‐making process
* Have the ability to influence, challenge and add value beyond the numbers
* Bring a commercial, hands‐on and proactive approach
* Be motivated by building or improving processes rather than maintaining the status quo
* Be comfortable with ERP and reporting tools such as BI.
What's on Offer
* Salary range of $120‐130K + Super
* Direct exposure to CFO and leadership team
* Opportunity to shape costing frameworks from the ground up
