Corporate Accountant – 6 Month Contract

Full-Time | Melbourne

Looking for your next challenge? Merchantwise Group is seeking a Corporate Accountant to join our collaborative finance team on a 6-month contract. While this is a fixed-term role, it's a great opportunity to make an impact, gain exposure across a multi-entity group, and work alongside a team that values accuracy, insight, and collaboration.

About the Role

In this hands-on role, you'll take the lead on month-end close processes, group consolidations, and management reporting across multiple business entities. You'll play a key part in ensuring the integrity of our financial data, while providing clear analysis to guide strategy and performance across the group.

Key Responsibilities

Month-End & Consolidation

  • Manage end-of-month closing activities across multiple entities.
  • Prepare intercompany and group consolidated reconciliations.
  • Review and reconcile key general ledger accounts, including accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet items.
  • Ensure compliance with accounting standards and internal controls.

Reporting

  • Prepare accurate and timely management reports, including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.
  • Deliver variance analysis and commentary against budgets and forecasts.
  • Contribute to Board and Executive-level reporting packs.

Process & Compliance

  • Identify and implement process improvements to streamline month-end and reporting cycles.
  • Support compliance with local tax and accounting regulations.
  • Liaise with external auditors and advisors.
  • Assist with ad hoc projects, including system enhancements and financial modelling.

What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline.
  • CPA/CA/ACCA qualified (or close to completion).
  • 3–5 years of accounting experience in Australian entities, ideally with multi-entity or group consolidation exposure.
  • Strong technical knowledge of accounting standards and financial reporting.
  • Advanced Excel skills; ERP/accounting system experience highly regarded.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, time management, and problem-solving skills.
  • Clear and confident communication, with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights.

At Merchantwise Group, we pride ourselves on being a supportive and collaborative workplace where your work truly makes an impact. Even within a short-term engagement, you'll have the chance to gain valuable experience across multiple business units, work alongside a talented and welcoming team, and contribute to meaningful outcomes.
