Job description

Pine Services Group is a long-term holding company dedicated to the growth and legacy of premier ERP service partners and global business application companies. With a growing international portfolio backed by Evergreen Services Group, we're always looking for talented people to join our team.

We're looking for an experienced and commercially minded Regional Accounting Manager to serve as Pine's financial steward across our Australia and New Zealand operating companies. Reporting directly to the Group Controller (US), this role is the first line of accountability for the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of ANZ financial reporting. The ideal candidate is a technically strong accountant who thrives in a multi-entity environment, builds trusted relationships with OpCo leadership, and delivers clean, consolidated reporting upstream with minimal noise.

This is a full-time remote role based in Australia (AEST/AEDT), with travel to ANZ operating company sites as needed.

Monthly Close & Financial Reporting

• Own the monthly close calendar for ANZ OpCos, driving on-time, accurate financial submissions into Pine's consolidation reporting package.
• Review OpCo trial balances, flux analyses, and income statements prior to submission to the US team — serving as the regional quality gate.
• Identify and resolve reporting discrepancies, classification issues, and cut-off errors at the source, before escalation.
• Prepare and maintain AUD-to-USD foreign currency translation workpapers in compliance with ASC 830 / AASB 121.

Audit Management

• Serve as the primary regional coordinator for both US GAAP consolidation audits and Australian statutory audits — managing requests, timelines, and PBC deliverables across ANZ entities.
• Liaise with external auditors (local and US-based) on behalf of ANZ OpCos, ensuring fieldwork proceeds efficiently and findings are addressed promptly.
• Maintain audit-ready workpapers and supporting schedules year-round, not just during audit season.

Tax & Statutory Compliance

• Coordinate ANZ tax compliance workflows including GST/BAS lodgements, income tax returns, and payroll tax obligations, in partnership with Pine's external tax advisors and the US finance team.
• Monitor entity-level statutory filing deadlines across Australia and New Zealand and ensure timely completion.
• Support transfer pricing documentation and intercompany transaction substantiation as required.

OpCo Partnership & Controls

• Act as the primary accounting point of contact for ANZ OpCo finance leads, providing guidance on technical accounting questions, policy application, and reporting requirements.
• Identify control gaps or process inconsistencies at the OpCo level and work collaboratively to implement improvements.
• Support new OpCo onboarding and integration into Pine's reporting infrastructure, including chart of accounts mapping and ERP alignment.

US Finance Team Collaboration

• Deliver clean, well-documented monthly reporting packages to the Group Controller, flagging material variances, open items, and risks proactively.
• Participate in consolidation close calls and contribute to management reporting.
• Support US-side diligence, purchase accounting, and integration workstreams for ANZ acquisitions as needed.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CA (Chartered Accountant) designation strongly preferred.
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including direct experience managing or coordinating across multiple entities.
• Solid technical grounding in Australian statutory reporting (AASB standards), GST/BAS compliance, and payroll tax frameworks.
• Working knowledge of US GAAP — particularly consolidation (ASC 810), revenue recognition (ASC 606), and foreign currency (ASC 830) — or demonstrated ability to work within a US GAAP reporting environment.
• Experience with ERP platforms (Business Central, MYOB, Acumatica, or similar); comfort navigating multiple systems.
• Strong attention to detail with a bias toward clean, well-organised deliverables.
• Self-directed and comfortable operating across time zones with limited day-to-day supervision.
• Clear, confident communicator — able to translate accounting issues for non-accounting OpCo stakeholders and elevate the right things to a US-based leadership team.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in public accounting (Big 4 or mid-tier); audit background strongly valued.
• Experience supporting M&A diligence, purchase accounting, or integration workstreams.
• Familiarity with PE-backed or multi-entity holding company environments.

What We Offer

• Location: Remote (Australia-based, AEST/AEDT)
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Reports To: Group Controller (US)
• Benefits: Competitive benefits package, generous leave entitlements, professional development opportunities, and a people-first culture as part of the Pine and Evergreen Services Group family
