• Preparation of statutory financial statements and supporting external audit
• Management reporting, balance sheet control and complex reconciliations
• Regulatory and compliance-related financial reporting
• Accounting across investment, trust and other group entities

About You

We’re looking for an experienced CA/CPA qualified accountant with strong technical accounting and reporting capability.

Ideally, you will bring experience from banking, lending, funds/investment management, insurance, superannuation or another regulated financial services environment.

Exposure to areas such as regulatory reporting, investment or trust accounting, treasury, funding, financial instruments or complex multi-entity structures would be highly regarded, but we don't expect one person to have covered everything.

Most importantly, you'll be a capable Senior Accountant who can take ownership of your work, operate confidently with senior stakeholders and is interested in continuing to broaden your financial services experience.

Why Consider It?

• Broad senior accounting remit with genuine ownership
• Exposure beyond financial reporting into treasury, funding and regulatory activities
• High-calibre, technically strong finance team
• Work closely with experienced financial services leadership
• Growing organisation offering complexity and variety
• Strong longer-term development opportunities

If you’re an experienced qualified accountant looking for greater breadth within financial services, we’d love to hear from you.
