About the role:
Reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll be all hands on across the full accounting cycle - from daily transactions through to month-end close, reporting, and supporting acquisition integration. This is not a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane, or own one process; you'll be involved in everything from financial operations and analysis to board and PE reporting.

- Prepare and lodge BAS, GST, and tax-related filings
- Monitor and report on cash flow
- Maintain the fixed asset register and depreciation schedules
- Support budgeting and forecasting activities
- Assist with acquisition integration - systems, reporting, and data
- Contribute to PE/board reporting and annual audit preparation
- Flex for occasional after-hours calls with interstate or overseas stakeholders
What you'll bring to the table:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting/Finance or 5+ years of equivalent experience
- CPA/CA qualified or currently studying
- Broad accounting experience across both financial and management accounting
- Experience in SaaS, technology, or high-growth businesses highly regarded
- Proficiency with MYOB, Xero, or similar; strong Excel capability
- Understanding of payroll and HR compliance fundamentals
- Previous experience in smaller, hands-on finance teams
- Willing and able to travel to their Heatherton office 2-3 days per week to work collaboratively in the team
Who you are as a person:
- Adaptable and proactive. You are comfortable with shifting priorities and ambiguity
- Curious, solutions-oriented, and keen to contribute to improving process
- Collaborative and personable. You enjoy working cross-functionally with a variety of stakeholders with different personalities
- Willing to go the extra mile to get the desired outcomes
- A self-starter who can work independently and deliver accurately under pressure, with a high level to detail.
