Accountant

About the Role

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the finance team of a publicly listed, global IT consultancy headquartered in Melbourne. You'll play a key role supporting CPT's financial operations across Australia, North America, Europe, and the UK.

The role supports accounting, reporting, tax, and compliance requirements for CPT Global and its subsidiaries — including multi-entity reporting, project-level analysis, and statutory compliance in an ASX-listed environment.

This hands-on role requires a technically strong, detail-oriented accountant with experience in dynamic, multi-jurisdictional businesses. Prior exposure to listed companies, international audits and compliance, and IT or professional services environments is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-function Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR), including multi-entity invoice processing, vendor onboarding and engagement, reconciliations, and reporting across international jurisdictions and time zones
• Group-wide timesheet management, including compliance monitoring and engagement with consultants and internal stakeholders
• Bank and credit card reconciliations, accounting and reporting across multiple currencies and international accounts
• Month-end close support: preparation of journals, accruals, prepayments, payroll validations, financial reporting, cost analysis, and cash flow forecasting
• Support the business with accurate and timely project-level financial control, analysis, and reporting
• Assist with half-year and full-year external audits, and the preparation of statutory and ASX reporting deliverables, including compliance with international audit and financial reporting requirements
• Contribute to internal control improvements, finance system enhancements, and group-wide process documentation and compliance
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis and coverage across the broader finance team as required — including payroll, tax compliance and reporting, and systems accounting

What We're Looking For

• Proven accounting experience in public practice and/or industry, with exposure to financial reporting, tax, audit, and compliance
• Experience in an ASX-listed company or group with cross-border operations, international audits and compliance, and consolidation requirements
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Office 365, with experience across core systems including Sage Intacct, Salesforce, and Sourcing/AR platforms such as SAP, Coupa, Ariba, and Beeline considered essential
• Background in technology consulting, professional services, or time-based billing models highly desirable
• Hands-on expertise in financial control, end-to-end AP/AR, timesheet governance, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, internal / external reporting, and project reporting
• Experience engaging directly with auditors, banks, vendors, and international advisors
• Solid understanding of foreign currency transactions, international banking platforms, and payroll processes
• Relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting; CA/CPA qualification (or progress toward) strongly preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working across all organisational levels and jurisdictions
• High attention to detail, sound judgement, and ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• A collaborative, solutions-focused team player with a continuous improvement mindset
• Availability to work from our Docklands head office five days per week, with flexibility to accommodate global time zones as needed

Salary range - $77,000 - $79000 plus superannuantion
