This is a newly created role within a growing ASX-listed business that is entering a key phase of its growth. Sitting close to the CFO, you will take ownership of core reporting while gaining visibility across the broader business. The role is suited to someone who is ambitious and looking for more than a steady-state financial accounting position, with the opportunity to grow alongside the business and gradually step into a broader, more commercial remit and finance leadership role over time.

This is a growing ASX-listed business operating in a dynamic sector, with a clear trajectory over the next few years. The finance function offers close access to senior leadership and strong visibility across the business.

• Assist with statutory reporting and act as a key contact for external auditors
• Ensure accuracy and integrity of financial data through balance sheet reviews
• Prepare BAS, GST and other compliance requirements
• Identify and implement improvements across finance processes and reporting
• Provide ad hoc analysis and support to the CFO

You will be technically capable and comfortable operating in a hands-on environment, with the ability to take ownership of core reporting responsibilities. You may come from:
• An accounting firm with exposure to ASX-listed or growing clients
• A commercial Financial Accountant role with involvement in reporting cycles

To succeed in this role, you will have:
• CA or CPA qualification
• Experience with month-end processes and financial reporting

Highly regarded:

What’s on Offer

• Broadening role scope as the business grows over the next 1 to 2 years
• Opportunity to develop beyond financial reporting into wider business areas
• Collaborative, hands-on environment with strong visibility across the business
