Job description

As our Senior Financial Accountant, you’ll be at the heart of Gigacomm’s finance function during an exciting period of growth. Working closely with our Finance Manager and offshore accounts team, you’ll own the hands‑on delivery of accurate, timely financial accounting and reporting – across month‑end close, finance operations, tax compliance and the year‑end audit – and help shape the controls and processes that support a scaling business.

With a dotted line to our FP&A Manager, you’ll also be the bridge between the ledger and the plan, seeing first‑hand how the numbers you produce shape budgets, forecasts and decisions on where we invest in our network. It’s a role with real ownership and visibility, and a chance to build commercial finance experience alongside your technical accounting skills.

3. Audit, Tax & Compliance

• Own in‑house tax compliance obligations, including BAS, payroll tax and FBT
• Help coordinate the year‑end audit and company income tax filings with external auditors and advisors

• Partner with the FP&A Manager to ensure monthly actuals are accurate, reconciled and aligned with financial models and management reporting
• Explain key variances by connecting accounting outcomes with the underlying business drivers
• Provide data and input for budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis, and support ad‑hoc projects that identify cost drivers and track metrics

5. Internal Controls, Systems & Business Support

• Operate and improve internal controls, maintain month‑end procedures and checklists, and recommend improvements to controls and policies
• Act as a key user of our finance systems – including accounting, consolidation, billing and payroll platforms – supporting automation and ensuring data integrity
• Provide financial input on operational matters such as billing issues and cost tracking, and respond to ad‑hoc requests from across the business

What You’ll Bring

• CA/CPA qualification with 3–5 years’ experience and a strong financial accounting and reporting background
• Solid understanding of revenue recognition and capex accounting
• Experience with multi‑entity consolidation and intercompany eliminations
• High attention to detail and a strong ownership mindset
