Why You Will Be Excited About This Role

This opportunity is suited to an accountant who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and becoming deeply involved in how a business operates.

Rather than being confined to a narrow accounting specialisation, you will oversee a broad transactional finance function across accounting, payroll, reporting, inventory, job costing and ERP-related activities. As you establish yourself in the role, the goal is for you to take full responsibility for the function, providing a high level of autonomy and ownership.

You will also gain exposure to a bespoke manufacturing environment where every project is different, creating a more interesting and commercially varied role than a highly standardised finance position.

Why You Will Like Working Here

You'll be joining a well-established Australian business with modern facilities, a diverse customer base and a reputation for quality products and customer service. The business continues to focus on developing systems, processes and accountability frameworks as part of its ongoing growth and evolution.

The culture is supportive, collaborative and built around honesty, integrity, accountability and respect. Team members are trusted to do their jobs, take ownership of their work and contribute ideas for improvement.

What You Will Be Working On

• Transactional accounting, payroll and month-end accounting activities.
• Inventory, Work in Progress and job costing processes.
• Financial analysis, reporting and variance investigation.
• Supporting the ongoing refinement of the ERP system (MYOB Acumatica).
• Identifying opportunities to improve finance processes, controls and information accuracy.
• Working closely with operational stakeholders to investigate discrepancies and support business decision-making.

This role offers the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how finance interacts with operations in a project-based manufacturing environment.

What Type of Person Will Be Successful

You are someone who enjoys taking responsibility for your work, follows through on commitments and proactively resolves issues.

You are analytical by nature, enjoy investigating discrepancies and want to understand the 'why' behind financial and operational outcomes. You communicate effectively with stakeholders and enjoy working collaboratively across different areas of a business.

Experience that will be well regarded includes:

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce or a related discipline.
• Manufacturing finance experience - experience in job shop or bespoke manufacturing would be highly regarded.
• Inventory, WIP and job costing experience.
• Month-end accounting and financial reporting experience.
• ERP system experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Advanced Excel skills.

If your experience has been gained in positions such as Management Accountant, Cost Accountant, Manufacturing Accountant, Finance Analyst, Commercial Accountant or Company Accountant or similar, we would welcome your application.
