• Supporting technical accounting matters, including revenue recognition
• Supporting FBT and depreciation schedules across group entities
• Managing vendor relationships and liaising with external service providers
• Working closely with the Deputy CFO on financial reporting, analysis and ad hoc projects
• Supporting audits and working with external advisors and auditors
• Getting involved in ad hoc transactional work as required, particularly during the transition to in house shared services
• Contributing to the ongoing improvement of processes, controls and reporting frameworks

About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Experience working in fast paced, evolving environments
• High attention to detail with strong commercial awareness
• Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders, auditors and advisors

• High exposure role working directly with senior finance leadership
• Key role in bringing shared services in house
• Genuine scope for your portfolio and responsibilities to grow as the business grows
• Broad exposure across investments and revenue streams
• Long term career opportunity rather than a "narrow" accounting role
