About the role

We are seeking a Senior Financial Accountant to join our Finance team. Reporting to the Financial Controller, this role will help maintain and continuously improve BUSSQ's finance capabilities across accounting, tax, regulatory reporting and business projects.

Key responsibilities include:

Working closely with the Financial Controller and our outsourced providers, you will support the preparation and oversight of management accounts, financial statements, APRA reporting and FBT. Key responsibilities include:

• Assist with liquidity monitoring and finance-related controls.

• Maintain Power BI dashboards and static data tables used for financial and investment reporting, liaising with data providers as required.

• Complete and lodge APRA reporting that sits within Finance responsibilities.

• Prepare monthly Executive management reporting, including consolidated results and variance analysis against budget.

• Prepare month-end reconciliation workpapers and liaise with the Administrator regarding general ledger corrections and journals.

• Perform analytical review of quarterly management accounts and annual financial statements.

• Prepare financial statement note disclosures, supporting reconciliations and workpapers.

• Coordinate financial and internal audit queries as the first point of contact.

• Prepare expenditure reports for Annual Members Meeting disclosures.

About you:

The ideal candidate will hold a relevant tertiary qualification, ideally with CA or CPA accreditation.

Advanced Excel skills are essential, and PowerBI experience will be viewed favourably.

Experience with complex commercial businesses is highly beneficial, as is a high level of accuracy, responsiveness, integrity, and discretion. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required to engage effectively with management, colleagues, and external stakeholders.

Based at BUSSQ’s Milton head office, the role offers hybrid working and a competitive, experience-based remuneration package. While the role is primarily full-time, part-time arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.

Applications close 2 December 2026.
