  • Job Brief
    Our client is looking for a hands on Financial Accountant to take ownership of audit and tax deliverables through a complex reporting period, with a secondary focus on technical accounting and finance process improvement.

    About Our Client
    Our client is a large, multi entity group with an active acquisition strategy that adds ongoing complexity to its finance function. The finance team operates in a fast moving environment where priorities shift and the work is rarely routine, offering broad exposure to audit, tax, and technical accounting.

    Responsibilities
    • Support the integration of newly acquired entities into group reporting, including opening balance sheet review and cleanup
    • Assist with purchase price allocation and the accounting treatment of acquisitions as they occur
    • Support the year end statutory audit process, liaising with external auditors and preparing supporting schedules
    • Assist with tax return support, workpapers and reconciliations across BAS, FBT and income tax
    • Apply AASB standards to technical accounting positions across leases, provisions and equity related transactions
    • Contribute to process improvement as the finance function adapts existing templates and models to new acquisitions

    Requirements
    • CA or CPA qualified, or in the final stages
    • Genuine exposure to acquisition or M&A accounting, whether from a due diligence, integration, or opening balance sheet perspective
    • Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in a fast changing, less structured environment
    • Exposure to audit and tax processes highly regarded, though not the primary requirement
    • Experience in a multi entity or group structure environment highly regarded
    • Strong written communication, able to summarise technical positions clearly for non technical stakeholders
    • Available at short notice

    What's on Offer
    A role with genuine variety, working across acquisition accounting, technical accounting and general reporting rather than a single narrow function. Clear deliverables and timelines despite the pace of the environment. Strong potential to convert to a permanent position once the initial period is complete. On site parking.
