About the Company
Join a highly regarded, privately-owned organisation with diversified interests across Property, Investments, and Hospitality. Known for its commercial focus, high-performance culture, and strong leadership, this is a business where your work will be seen, trusted, and relied upon. With multiple revenue streams and a fast-paced, evolving environment, this is the perfect opportunity for someone ready to step into a visible, influential finance role.

About the Role
Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, this is not a back-office role. You will combine technical expertise with commercial insight, partnering with senior leaders and operational teams to support performance, strategy, and process improvement.

  • Managing balance sheets, intercompany transactions, and fixed assets
  • Ensuring statutory compliance (BAS, FBT, TPAR)
  • Supporting budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis with operational teams
  • Contributing to process improvements, systems development, and ad-hoc projects
This is a role for someone who enjoys both numbers and people, is confident in presenting financial insights to non-finance stakeholders, and wants to be part of shaping a business’s financial strategy.

About You
You are a motivated, intelligent, and commercially-minded finance professional with the presence and communication skills to influence and engage with senior leadership.
  • CPA or CA qualified (or near completion)
  • 3+ years’ experience as a Financial Accountant, or a first mover from Big 4/Mid-Tier
  • Strong knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards
  • Advanced Excel; ERP experience highly regarded
  • Exceptional stakeholder engagement and communication skills
  • Proactive, confident, and capable of delivering insight beyond the numbers
Why Join?
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and decision-making
  • Work across a diverse, multi-entity business, gaining broad commercial experience
  • Opportunity to shape processes, systems, and reporting frameworks
  • Inner Melbourne office; 5 days in office to support culture and collaboration
  • Competitive salary package, reflective of experience
