Senior Financial Accountant

Ready to move from being one of many in a big finance team to actually owning the numbers?

We're recruiting for a fast-growing business that's scaling quickly and needs a hands-on Senior Financial Accountant. This isn't a role where you'll be siloed into one narrow function. You'll be across month-end close, hands-on AP/AR, and genuinely shaping how the finance team operates as the business grows.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Acting as right-hand support to the Finance Lead, bridging management and the wider team
  • Collaborate with the AP/AR function across close cycles, keeping accruals, billing, revenue recognition, payroll journals and asset reconciliations accurate and on track
  • Owning month-end close - reconciliations, journals, reporting
  • Getting hands-on with AP/AR and fixing process gaps as you find them
  • Driving process improvements in a fast-paced, still-evolving environment
  • Be the go-to contact for external auditors and run the annual audit process
  • Support budgeting and forecasting, adding commentary that helps stakeholders make sense of the numbers
  • Supporting BAS/IAS, GST and FBT lodgements
  • Mentoring junior or outsourced team members

What We're Looking For:

  • Recent, hands-on AP/AR experience - not just oversight
  • Solid all-round accounting background (month-end, reconciliations, statutory reporting)
  • A proactive self-starter who's comfortable in a smaller, less structured environment
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills
  • Experience driving process improvements or supporting system/ERP upgrades
  • CA/CPA qualified or working towards it (not essential - mindset matters more)

Why Apply:

  • Hybrid working
  • Real ownership over your work and direct exposure to leadership
  • Young, fun, dynamic team culture
  • Health & wellbeing support (private healthcare, wellbeing incentives)
  • Shape a finance function from the ground up, not just maintain someone else's system

If this role sounds like your next move, we'd love to chat. Apply today!
