Job description

Company Overview

We're partnering with a well-established and growing mining organisation to appoint a Senior Financial Accountant into a newly created position. This represents an exceptional opportunity for an accountant currently working within the WA mining sector who is looking to maintain a career in resources while enjoying a more stable lifestyle and long-term career platform in Victoria. With substantial investment, increasing reporting requirements and continued growth, the business is looking to hire a technically strong finance professional to help establish and support a critical reporting function.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, this newly created role will provide significant exposure to executive leadership, international finance stakeholders and complex group reporting requirements.

• Leading quarterly and annual group consolidation processes
• Preparing consolidation schedules and reporting packs
• Managing month-end and year-end reporting activities
• Supporting annual audit requirements and external stakeholder queries
• Applying IFRS accounting standards across technical reporting matters
• Building relationships with international finance teams and senior stakeholders
• Identifying opportunities to improve reporting processes and controls
• Supporting technical accounting and statutory reporting requirements

This role will suit someone who enjoys technical accounting, ownership and stakeholder engagement, while wanting broader exposure than a traditional Senior Financial Accountant position.

About You

To be successful, you will bring:

• CA qualified (or CPA with strong technical reporting experience)
• Demonstrated experience in financial reporting and consolidations
• Strong IFRS and technical accounting knowledge
• Experience supporting external audits
• Advanced Excel capability
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive and hands-on approach

Mining, resources, energy or other asset-intensive industry experience will be highly regarded.

Prior exposure to international reporting structures or group consolidations will also be viewed favourably.

What's On Offer?

• Rare opportunity to remain within mining while relocating to Victoria
• Newly created role with genuine ownership and visibility
• Exposure to international stakeholders and group reporting
• Direct mentorship from an experienced and supportive Financial Controller
• Significant organisational growth and ongoing investment
• Stable residential role with no FIFO requirements
• Opportunity to work closely with executive leadership and board-level stakeholders
• Long-term career progression as the business continues to expand

This role will particularly appeal to mining professionals who are looking to transition away from FIFO, reduce travel commitments or relocate with family while continuing to build their career in the resources sector.
