Job description

This high-profile agency offers a chance to work with a motivated team of professionals in a diverse environment with interesting variety and challenges.

Located in the Parliamentary Triangle, this is a great department to gain experience within and is looked upon positively by other APS employers.

The Opportunity

This position is offered as a 12-month non-ongoing contract opportunity.

A key component of your role is to provide support and strategic advice on the development and management of the budgets including forecasting and month end reporting.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team of professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality outcomes and making a real impact.

• Acting as the primary conduit between the CFO and business areas to facilitate and manage effective working relationships

The Ideal Person

You will be an astute Management Accountant with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate the 'grey' areas.

You enjoy providing meaningful insights and analysis to business areas which will help facilitate better decisions for the organisation.

You enjoy being proactive by asking the right questions and pre-empting the needs of your stakeholders.

Alongside your technical skills, strong communication and interpersonal skills are equally important to be successful as you will need to influence stakeholders and speak to non-financial team members.

You will be known for the quality of work you deliver, as having a high attention to detail is essential. You will also be naturally curious in understanding the numbers and will lead others to deliver outcomes in tight deadlines.

Relevant degree qualifications with a CA/CPA or strong progress towards will be highly regarded.
