Financial Accountant

We are working on a great opportunity for a mid tier first mover or Big 4 second mover in an Accountant role to join a privately owned group with a diverse portfolio.

The business is a privately owned group with a broad range of investments. It has a mix of operating companies and investments, offering exposure to different parts of a group rather than a single entity environment.

You will work closely with an impressive Deputy CFO in a hands on, supportive environment, with exposure across multiple entities and revenue streams.

You will take ownership of one of the group's entities while supporting the broader finance function as the business continues to bring work in house.

This is a hands on role where you will be responsible for both transactional and financial accounting. You will get exposure across the full finance function and play a key role in building processes and improving controls.

This role suits someone coming out mid-tier or big 4 , or a second mover who enjoys owning month end but is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting involved in the detail.

Day to day responsibilities include:

• Managing AP, AR and payroll
• Processing invoices and payments, and maintaining supplier relationships
• Maintaining the general ledger and supporting sub ledgers
• Owning month end close including journals, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations
• Preparing financial reports and supporting schedules
• Supporting FBT and fixed asset schedules
• Liaising with external advisors and auditors
• Contributing to process improvements as systems and processes are brought in house

About you:

• CA or CPA qualified, or close to completion
• Trained in Mid-Tier or Big 4 (CFO advisory) or second mover looking to move into a commercial role
• Experience across transactional accounting and month end essential
• Confident working with a range of stakeholders across finance and the wider business
• Experience with Xero is strongly preferred

Why this role:
This is a great opportunity to step into a broad role with real exposure across different parts of a group. You will work closely with a high calibre Deputy CFO who is invested in mentoring and developing the right person.

It's well suited to someone who is proactive, enjoys being hands on, and wants to build towards a more senior role over time.
