You crave a career that pushes you, where you'll meet challenges head on and you're guaranteed to grow.

You'll make a tangible impact on the people of NSW, using your finance and accounting skills to help build a sustainable and thriving transport network for generations to come.

In this role, you'll:

Work as part of a team delivering high-quality financial reporting, analysis and actionable insights to support divisional decision-making.

You’ll support budgeting and forecasting, perform reconciliations and monthly analysis, and produce timely reporting that helps leaders understand performance, trends and future impacts.

Beyond the numbers, you’ll interpret results, provide clear and actionable financial insights and recommendations, and partner with managers to drive informed decision-making in a dynamic, stakeholder-focused environment.

This role is governed by our hybrid working model, which forms part of the organisation's flexible working arrangements and associated procedures. This position is located at our Macquarie Park office; however, there will be flexibility to work from the offices of the supported divisions or branches.

You’re recognised as a curious and proactive finance professional, skilled at turning numbers into clear narratives and practical recommendations, and experienced in management accounting processes, financial systems and collaborative business partnering.

You have a Bachelor qualification in a relevant discipline (Accounting, Business, Economics or Commerce) from an Australian university or equivalent overseas qualification, extensive and relevant professional experience.
