Tax focused role in a large private group, reporting to the CFO. Suits a corporate tax professional ready to broaden out.
Tax and Group Accountant
Permanent, full time
North-West Tasmania
On-site. Relocation support available
Job Brief
This is a tax focused role sitting in the corporate centre of a large privately owned group, reporting directly to the CFO. The tax work comes first, covering compliance across a substantial portfolio of entities and working alongside a Big Four adviser, with group financial accounting and reporting making up the rest of the role. It suits someone from a corporate or group tax background who wants to broaden into financial accounting, or a financial accountant with genuine tax depth.
About Our Client
Our client is a large privately owned Australian group operating across heavy industry, with a portfolio spanning operating businesses, investments and a range of corporate entities. The corporate finance function is being built out, and this role sits alongside the CFO with visibility across the whole group rather than inside any one business. It is a grounded, practical environment where people are trusted to own their work.
Responsibilities
What's on Offer
A standalone role reporting directly to the CFO, with visibility across the entire group
A tax heavy brief in a complex private group structure, working alongside a Big Four adviser
A lower cost of living and a genuine lifestyle change for someone looking to move out of a capital city
